Hi Don,
How ya doin?
Last summer Mikey and I were doing our best to replace our existing helmets. We spent a lot of time trying to find, I believe they were SZ/C Arai's that J&M was involved in the design of. It became so frustrating with Arai's new policies that we started looking a the Nolan Classic's. (N100E) I already had a N100 that I used when riding the ST or Blackbird, so I kinda had a feel for what they had to offer. To my surprize, when at our local dealer the N100E's fit so much different than the one I had it wasn't funny. The chin strap was much shorter and almost to the point of hurting, yet the fit of the helmet was good. Maybe it was just that one helmet I don't know, but I really would suggest what has been said many times before, "try it on before you buy"! There just seems to be too many variations that I would be afraid just to order. Had I had done that, and got the same helmet I tried on I wouldn't be very happy. I do think they make a nice helmet, and it has tested quite well with good reviews, but you need to make sure of that fit! I did have one concern as to how well the ear pockets were going to accept headsets, but that's when I had quit my job and we put that expense on hold for awhile.
