Had to go out of country to find a modular (because I wear spectacles), hi viz (because I'm smart) extra, extra, extra large (big head) helmet.
Really wanted to buy local, no dice, or from Revzilla because of their easy return policy & quick shipping, they only go to 2XL.
Also wanted the most hi viz ----100% hi viz if possible.
Had to settle for the most I could find in a modular 3XL.
Unless my head changes shape - this should last me out to my demise - or the Rapture.
Years ago - had to settle for 'Cab' yellow. But Nolan has since introduced a 3XL modular in hi viz .....
Plus I know how Nolan's fit my head size & shape.
It has the flip down sun-glasses thing (which I rarely use), and comes with a PinLock - which I'll install, and the larger sizes get a larger shell (not just thinner padding)
These Nolan's have a very wide field of vision for easy shoulder checks, and are cut low in front for checking my rev's :)

Stock photos of L size I take it Stig? So how far afield did you have to go to source the helmet?

Well, might be able to see it if I climb a tree in my yard.....
The Netherlands.
Down around West Virginia, I think that is.
Free shipping. Also, $50 less than prices in USA. They also sell it in some cool colors not offered here.
Tracking says to look for it in 2-4 days from now.
I've purchased stuff from Holland, France and Germany the past 25 yrs. No worries.
I wouldn't do this if I hadn't worn same style and brand for yrs. Fit should be fine. If not it'll cost me that $50 to return it😊
Kinda strange.....happened to watch . newer youtube of a fellow, crashed
off his bike and being attended to --- wearing this same Nolan helmet!

Also.... I always thought NOLAN sounded like some guy from New Jersey --- NOT Italy!
Then....3 yrs ago my oldest son named his new baby boy Nolan! Looking at that boy's noodle....I think he'll be wearing my 3XL Nolans in a few years.

Good read Gramps! Glad your new bit of kit is getting nearer. Just considering retiring my old IS-17 for the new HJC I bought last Christmas.

Tracking shows the helmet left Charles De Gaulle airpot last night and is in Memphis, Tenn this morning!
Not sure why Kymco parts are stuck. I guess, ships are not getting unloaded like airplanes.
