Purchased the first brigh colored, modular, helemt that fits both the size and shape of my head....with a sun visor that does not hit my glasses.
The XXXL NOLAN is sized like my XXXXL HJC white modular, but is a much better fit for my head shape.
These helmets have been around for about 4 yrs....are sold out in many shops, but can be found at big discounts over the orig. list price of $450.

Re: Hi Viz Modular to go with vest
Cool fish! I've been wearing my hi-vis Nolan N-104 for awhile now. My head really likes the fit and I love the flip up/down (interior) sun visor (although it could be a tad darker for me). However...No more wearing sun glasses! And, as evening approaches you simply flip it up and look out your clear screen. No need to own or change out dark to clear screens! Fabulous invention! The modular style allows me to drink water easily. My full face Shoei Qwest is another story as far as drinking goes. But, I love my Qwest (in White) as well.
So fish, did you get, or do you plan to get the Nolan headset (B-4? Is that the one?)
My demo day. N-104 with hi-vis Firstgear mesh armor jacket (this jacket is okay. Revit brand is far better). "Can ya see me now?"

I've got a shoei qwest too, don't have the drinking and presumably eating problems with it as I'd probably stop and take the helmet of firstWhiteNoise wrote:Cool fish!

Re: Hi Viz Modular to go with vest
2yous, what Shoei color?
(In the hot months' especially)...Taking my Qwest off to drink water as often as "I" do is a p.i.t.a.!!
My long straw up the chin opening works, but it's an annoying and tedious solution. For a longer day ride I Will wear the FF Qwest. But these days......
the Nolan has spoiled me Besides....I abhor hat hair (on me) and choose to hide it whilst consuming me beverage. Some folks look Cool with their hat hair and even Cooler with no hair. (I bet it is!
Calls me vain? Umm....I could be

It's white with a bit of blue and red I think. Hint of motorrad for the boxer cup. I can take a picture you want but it's covered in flies.
No hair is the way to go. Forget wash and go, just go

Re: Hi Viz Modular to go with vest
Modulars are great but a bit heavy. My next helmet is going to be lighter (Under the 3-1/2 lbs my Gmax GM54S modular weighs), modular, and must work with my Sena unit. Airoh are the lightest and make a hi-viz but size only goes to XL.

Re: Hi Viz Modular to go with vest
Smart choices! Looks good!
I have a LS2 FF386 Hi-Vis Yellow Modular Helmet that has been fine for me.
I am particularly happy it has a Ratchet strap!

Re: Hi Viz Modular to go with vest
I have the N44 HI viz it has great visibility, pinlock, sunshade and good venting. I put the nb4+ comm unit in mine. It's Bluetooth compatible with any Bluetooth device so phone, GPS,or tablet is no problem. Intercom will connect with other manufacturers com units. Plays mp3 sound is good but not enough adjustment. Not a big fan of Nolans website for updates. Nolan makes a ok com product but could still use improvement IMHO. Helmut is slightly on the heavy side and not as quiet as I would like but overall a good design and they do stand out in a crowd.
