Nolan N102 helmet
Last year I rode in a group of 3, where all of us used Nolan N102 flip face helmets (bought early 2008). And the things worked incredibly well. After 7months and 28000km they all still work as they should. We would have had the chinpiece up and down at least 20 times a day and still no drama.
I took a nasty fall and have a nice serious scratch right across the chin piece of mine, so they stay closed in a crash (as far as I'm prepared to test it).
Noise can get a bit irritating at 100kmh for extended periods, but a neck scarf cuts out a lot and so would earplugs. In particularly dusty conditions the visor hinge can stiffen up a little, but a clean and some silicon spray fixed that.
So I think they do their job well.
