Nolan N102 Crash helmet ,and any other flip front

[duckspeed8]

Hi all , just after a bit of feedback on the Nolan N102 flip front crash helmet , been using a Caberg J1 plus for last three years and been happy with it , was thinking of buying a Nolan N102 to replace it as it's a good price for a flip front helmet.
Was just wondering if anybody has any good or bad views on it , fit , finish , wind noise , problems etc...
Others to choose from are the Shoei Multitec or the Schuberth C2 ( lots more money ), or another Caberg ,the Justissimo.
All views on any of the flip fronts on the market welcome.
Cheers.

I use a Nolan N94 (sometimes) and all I can really think to say about Nolan lids is that the lining is by far the most comfortable I've tried.

Just wassocked my Shoei Syncrotec today (see my post) after three years use.
Found it to be an excellent helmet in terms of fit (when I first tried it on and closed down the front I couldn't get it off my head with the strap undone).
Opening mechanism simple enough to operate and secure enough when closing.
Little bit heavier than some helmets I've had and slightly noisier than a full face.
Have an Autocam setup inside the helmet and used the spectacle leg channels for the boom mic wiring without being able to notice it once fitted.
Only real complaint would be that the lining wasn't removable so needed sponging out every now and then.
I've not had a look at the new version yet, but it will be high on my list for a replacement helmet as I imagine it will be a newer, better version of what I had.

I’ve used the Lazer Revolution, the Shoei Synchrotec and now have a Schuberth C2. (As you probably guessed, I like flip front helmets. – I had BMW system helmets before that.)

The Lazer was cheap to buy and felt cheap. It was very noisy when on and the padding gave significantly with age so that it became progressively a looser fit. The only good point was the added sun visor which meant you didn’t have to swap visors between tint and clear for day/night riding.

The Shoei was excellent and was a very good fit. It was very light for a flip front and was pretty quiet. I was most disappointed when I had to get rid of it after a spill and even more so when I could not get another Synchrotec as the Multitec had replaced it. I would have had a Multitec had Shoei not used a double D fastener and stuck with the seat belt buckle type used on the Synchrotec.

My Schubert is pretty new and I’m still getting used to it. It is a very good fit for me -to the point of giving me a slight headache on the first couple of longer (over an hour) runs. It is reasonably light and extremely quiet. It is a little more difficult to close the front down as the ‘chin skirt’ is quite snug and needs to be adjusted as the front is being closed. The inbuilt sun visor appears pretty good although I have not yet had a chance to use it properly.
