The Nolan on the right is lighter, and, since I never ride behind a screen of any consequence - it has considerably less presence in the wind!
Weirdly - they both fit my head very well!
Both are full-face, modular helmets and the N-100/5 is a much brighter day-glow yellow.....not available at the time I purchased the other Nolan.
I cannot wear a full face, non-modular helmet because of my spectacles.
I never ride with either helmet in the flipped-up position. I use that option only when getting arrested or gassing up.
Both were purchased mail-order from the Netherlands - after trial fitting at my local dealers.
Much larger color selection and saved quite a bit of $$ compared to U.S. sellers.
Shipping from the Netherlands to Ohio?? - 4 days! and free!

That is a remarkable shell size difference Stig! I'd steered away from AGV for years after having one which pressed on my temples and was agony after an hour. Then I was tempted back last year after spotting a £300 example reduced at end of season(!) to £150. Took a punt and so glad I did as it's so much better made and more comfortable than my HJC. No doubt the manufacturing process does improve year on year. (My days of paying £500+ for Arai or Shoei are now behind me, barring a lottery win!)

I'm an eyeglass wearer as well, but have managed to wear full helmets, some are hard to get glasses on, sliding one bow on, twisting the helmet a bit, maybe a little bend in the bows, yes, a PIA
my newest helmet though, no problem,
