I need a new one.
Had a KBC and a Nolan N90.
The KBC was okay. It fit well, was comfortable, not too noisy, didn't fall apart after 3 years of heavy use, the visor didn't distort images to look all wavy, but it did start to give things a rainbow coloration, but it didn't scratch.
The Nolan, I really wanted to like this helmet and at first I did. A lot. It has the N-com cut out, though I didn't use it. More comfy and more quite than the KBC. The visor(s) haven't gone rainbow. No distortion at all. It has an internal flip up tinted visor, a clear visor and an anti fog insert. There's the problem.
The tinted visor is being scratched by something inside the helmet. It's getting so bad that it inhibits my vision. The anti-fog insert has also scratched the clear visor. It's way up out of my line of sight, but if I look just right (just wrong?) I catch some light glare from streetlights at night. Once a helmet gets to where you can't see right, it's time for a new one. I've had this one about 1 1/2 years. Never crashed in or dropped.
Requirements
Modular. I wear glasses and have not found a non modular full face that goes on right without twisting my glasses all up on my face or is not very difficult (impossible) to put my glasses on right after putting on the helmet. I wear wire rim flexible frames, so it's not the glasses.
Tinted flip up visor. The UV protection in visors stop my glasses from tinting. I ride day and night. Swapable visors are a pita.
DOT approved. SNELL doesn't approve of modulars.
