Pretty sure I have, I'm not where it is so can't check. Only used it for my NZ trip so far. as s touring helmet it was fantastic. First time I've had an internal sun visor and it was great but at times I did wish it was a bit darker.

Mines in Matt black. That design Blade linked too is pretty cool though.

I have one too.

It's a nice lid, quieter than my Shoei, seems fairly well put together and looks good.

Only downside is after about 30-40 minutes it starts to give me a headache.
It must be the shape of my head or something, but whatever the reason it means if I want to do anything other than a run to the shops or a lunchtime blast I need to get my trusty Shoei out.

Looks good though!

I have messaged Bratty a few times but nothing back either. Shame as he is a good lad and friend and missed on here. Hope he's OK and comes back when the time is right.

Agree about Bratty. Only met him twice but he was a thoroughly nice bloke to talk to. Hope he's ok and back soon.

It's a nice design but my personal opinion is the Shark is the better helmet and better buy especially if there is a further 20% off.

Have you used this website? Unfortunately couldn't find the Nolan lid but the Shark gets a great review and the impact test results in the head graphic are impressive.
