Nolan N120-1 Verniciatura Speciale - Sabbia / Grey

I have several X lite and Nolan Helmets and find them as good as the Shoei's I have had in the past. I have the Large and it is very, very comfortable to the point that I think I could have squeezed into M all my other lids are Large

My first flip back helmet. I've bought Shoei and AGV in the past but I love this helmet. Appears to be well made. The componentry (clear visor, sun shield and chin bar) operate with a feel of quality. Chin bar has an assuring clunk when drawn down. I like the fully retracting chin bar making it aerodynamic rather than a flip up helmet's position potentially creating a wind sail. Flip lids can be heavier but it haven't noticed any difference in weight from my previous lids. It's versatile too. One can have the chin bar retracted, clear visor up or down, sun screen the same. Wide peripheral vision and good ventilation in full face mode. I chose grey due to the other interested colours (orange and green) are matt and felt they'll be more easily marked. Oh, it's also quieter than my previous lids. Negatives....a little wind noise in full face mode and there's no D ring to lock it onto my bike. Small minors really. £300, I'm rather chuffed with it.

Well I stepped away from Nolan for a year , silly move on my part . Why because I saw a helmet with coms fitted and thought lets give it a try , bad move it was heavy noisy and the restricted vision drove me bonkers . So back to a Nolan woth a reworked flip front ( magic ) . So in M H O new Nolan lid is A1 totally perfect
