Chromeburner, which is a euro site, so there is that risk. Mine was actually a bit tight, but I was able to remove some of the foam in the ear pads and a ~1/4 inch rubber sheet at the forehead to gain enough space and be quite comfortable.

Having a DOT approved helmet may not be A issue for some, but it was for me.
Some sellers from the UK and other counties and sites like Amazon , Ebay, ECT, sell Schuberth sell the ECE approve only Helmet cheaper
Than stores and outlets here in the USA with DOT helmets.
The Choice is up to the buyer.

I picked up an original Neotec for $499 absolutely 2 months ago. I imagine they are getting hard to find now. Very happy with it.

Helmet, Helmet. We don't need no stinking helmet.

Actually, most of the time, i'll use my half helmet, sometimes out in the hill country with sparse traffic, none at all. When it's bone cold, or in the hundreds with a long ride, i'll use the 3/4 mod. to keep the sun off my mug.

Ah Yeah, I remember those days, No Windshield, No Helmet.
Those were the days of thunder.
I have to use Full face modular now, I just had liver transplant from cancer in the liver. With the anti rejection Meds I can not be in the sun or the cancer will come back.
I hate the slimy Suntan lotion, so it means long sleeves and a Schuberth full face modular with the sun shade that pulls down to cover my face, and nose

Best wishes to a brother in arms. Cancer sucks. Recurrences suck worse.

Leaning towards the Nolan because it's rated for riding at speed with the chin bar up.
Update - ordered the Nolan helmet today. Should arrive in about a week and I'll post my review after I get some miles on it.
