Manufacturer details: Nolan

More than just a helmet

Nolan has been developing and producing motorcycle helmets since 1972. Today the Italian firm is one of Europe's leading helmet manufacturers. The driving force behind this success story has always been a passion for offering bikers ever-better helmets. This continuous technical enhancement - not only in terms of helmet design, but also production technology - means that each new helmet model incorporates still greater quality, comfort and biking enjoyment, but most importantly of all, greater safety. For Nolan, safety is the utmost priority for every helmet that leaves the drawing board. No surprise, then, that Nolan does not make use of external suppliers. From raw materials through to final inspection and packaging, the entire production process is carried out in-house at Nolan.

Info

The Pinlock system offers optimal protection against annoying fogging of the visor. An anti-fog Pinlock inner lens is attached by means of two small pins to the prepared Pinlock outer visor. The airtight space between lens and visor ensures clear vision and therefore significantly enhances road safety. The Pinlock system can be fitted to many helmets made by Shoei, Schuberth, Nolan and Lazer.
