Nolan makes some of the most aerodynamic helmets, including the Outlaw full-face model, which is surprising as they still have a stabilizing spoiler. Spoilers often lead to greater wind resistance and noise, but Nolan's engineering has gotten around those pitfalls with their unique polycarbonate shell. Even though it's a modular, it's still relatively quiet.
Constantly coming up with technologies that improve the ride for wearers of full-face helmets, Nolan has included many features centered around the face shield. How well you see is vital to your safety, and you will enjoy the independent, exterior, short dark shield to shade your eyes from the sun. Theoretically, this extra mini-shield doesn't catch too much wind, but I'll be the first to admit that I'd prefer an internal sun shield.
The entire optically-correct face shield offers UVA and UVB protection and is both scratch and fog resistant. The interior lining of the Outlaw is removable, washable, hypoallergenic, and antimicrobial. It is perfect for the mysophobe in all of us. This helmet is designed with the idea that you're going to eventually want a N-Com system for cellphone use, MP3 use, or bike to bike communication. The N-Com is also from Nolan, so these products will be perfectly compatible.
This is Nolan, so you'll get a DOT-certified helmet with excellent ventilation and protection. They have every basic feature you could want, except for a good range of colors. The Outlaw comes in black, both flat and shiny. For under $300 Nolan really does make great, comfy helmets.
