modular helmets - likes and dislikes
Good day and Happy Easter,
I am thinking about getting a modular helmet and would like to get others opinions. If you have one, can you respond with your likes and dislikes and also brand recommendations.
I am thinking about the Nolan.
Thanks,

I have a Shark Evoline Series II. It's a really nice helmet with two caveats. It's big, and it's noisier than a regular full face helmet. It took some doing to install the Edsets unit, but it's a great helmet that I'd recommend to anyone.

I have this -Symax 2
cheaper than the high end ones
works great, was worth it ...
can ride with it open (up) to about 30 MPH, then can flip down with the shield up to about 45 mph, then closed up for highway speeds ...
I would buy another one if this dissappeared, maybe a more expensive one - I like them that much - great to flip up to talk to friends, or quick store purchases ...
easy to put on with it UP, can leave your sunglasses on
I tried one on for size at the dealer - then bought online at big discount -list price was nearly 2x what I paid ...

I have a HD flip helmet as well and love it during spring and fall and when traveling during summer when rain is in forecast.

I have an HJC and it work well. I pretty much ride with it year round, every once in awhile I might put my 1/2 on but rarely anymore. I really like the shark evo helmet, but the cost is high.

+1 about the only down side is that they are a little spendy, mine went over $500 bucks after I purchased a couple tinted shields.
