Verified Customer Reviews for Nolan N100-5 N-Com
If this helmet was a beer it would be Carlsberg.
Bought to replace a Nolan helmet I've had for a number of years.
Medium size is a good snug fit for me. The lining is removable for washing and is well padded.
Supplied with Pinlock already fitted and visor provides a tall and wide view. Also fitted with chin bar lock in the up position and dual control lift. Supplied with 5 year warranty.
I've known about Sportsbikeshop for a number of years. Great website, great reviews too.
Needed a new helmet and wanted value and quality along with good service. I got all three with Sportsbikeshop.
Never needed the option of a return if it didn't fit properly, although that was very reassuring.
I chose the Nolan N100-5 as I previously had a Nolan and was very happy with it. The new one is even better and more comfortable with better field of vision too. Very happy customer.
Have one for myself and one for pillion rider, very comfy and this was size small, rider 56cm head and size spot on, good field of view and not too noisy, but always wear earplugs whatever lid worn, on special so really good deal
Bought this to replace my old Arai, the Nolan is my first flip front helmet and I am very happy with it. I would normally buy a size 62 as per my old Arai, but this helmet was either 61-62 or 63-64 so I went for the larger size and it's a great fit but the 61-62 would have been too small for sure. The ventilation is very good, my old helmet would mist up as soon as the visor was shut at lower speeds but this Nolan stays clear all the time even in the rain.
The flip down sun visor is a bonus and once you get used to finding the slider and button to lower and raise it, it is very useful. There is a reasonable amount of wind roar at higher speeds but not a major issue and probably to be expected with a flip front helmet.
As always Sportsbikeshop had it delivered the day after ordering and via DPD who I cannot fault for their great service
Fit spot on my size, great viewing angles, good padding but not too tight, I'm 61 and xl fitted perfectly, like strap very secure and fact Nolan n100-5 on sharp tests never had flip front open up in crash real comfort ,get one while on offer,white great in summer doesn't trap heat and visible to others
On returnung to biking I always had Nolans in the past and reading the reviews of this helmet i ordered one. I cannot fault this helmet, its comfortable lid up or down, i wear spectacles and that isnt a problem at all and what a beauty too
Having worn medium helmets forever, with manufacturers switching to narrow shells I've had to go up a size. Consequently, this N100-5 is comfortable but not snug.
As with previous Nolans it is without doubt a good helmet, far better then the far more expensive Schuberth I had. The full size pinlock is yet to be tested but on previous Nolan it's worked, unlike on other helmets I've had. The chin vent is a little difficult to find and its' effectiveness has yet to be tried.
The only down side with the Nolan, as it seems with all modern helmets, is wind noise around the base. So you have to wear ear plugs but if they come loose you're going to get a touch of tinitus.
Bought this because unfortunately my Nolan N104 broke a cable in its chin bar release mechanism. Was only 5 years old but got used in all weathers. Bought this because I knew it would fit. Was bit tight on forehead at first but after a few days it had bedded in nicely. Happy with helmet at this price.
Went for the Nolan N100-5 after a lot of research. Fit true to size, well made and oozes quality. Wide visor aperture with pinlock already installed. Good ventilation when used in closed position. Excellent sun visor, unlike previous helmets I have owned where they don't come down far enough. Very quiet by any standards let alone for a modular. Highly recommended.
Bought helmet for my wife. Reason as I have bought N-Com system to link with my Helmet.
Fits perfectly and again service from SBS is excellent.
Never had a modular helmet before, but fancied having one. Tried on at a local store and felt fantastic - comfort and fit. Always had SHOEI in the past but now prefer NOLAN and X-LITE - Drop down visor better than on my old GT Air
Helmet was tried and fitted perfect, wanted intercom as well but it will not arrive till later this month, other than that excellent service and customer care.
This is a replacement for the same model that was stolen. I had to have the same one because I've been so impressed. The flip mechanism woks brilliantly, the sun visor is excellent and the fit is snug but comfy. Recommended.
Good service from Reading Sportsbike Shop - very helpful on trying a number of different helmets and good advice offered. Very pleased with eventual choice. The Nolan is very comfortable & plenty of features and much cheaper than the equivalent Shoei which was my initial preference based on my experience of my old helmet. Minor niggle - I was used to the D-ring fastening rather than the Nolan's ratchet fitting, but I've got used to the latter now.
The helmet is well made and feels like a quality item. Fit is good and hinge mech works well. Fitted Interphone intercom no problem. Good peripheral vision and visor is good. Quite noisy at anything above 60mph. When open the bottom of the visor section sits in line of site by 5mm which is distracting. Works well in open face mode below 50mph
I am delighted. The helmet is comfortable and every bit as quiet as my Shoei Neotech but for less than half the price. The aperture is wide, giving good visibility and is also quite high which means I don't need to bend my head back. It also has a nice, quality feel to it. Highly recommended.
From a service point of view, I had to order the helmet in which arrived quickly unfortunately I need a big size this took a bit longer but even so only a week and a half. The exchange was simple and handled in store.
The Helmet is very nice, it is reasonably quiet and the visor flips up very close to the helmet so does not act like a sail.

About
Nolan
Great companies are born out of great passions. Nolan has always meant "passion for two wheels". The history of Nolan began in 1972 when Lander Nocchi, an entrepreneur in the motorbike and car accessories sector, decided to produce motorcycle helmets that could be lighter and more affordable than those on the market at the time. He purchased, from a company in the United States, an innovative plastic material, Lexan, which was light and versatile, and started producing polycarbonate helmets. In the following 37 years, other important ideas have been put into production, and they proved to be well known and highly valued products by thousands of customers in more than 70 countries around the globe.
