im surprised nolan can fit.
cos nolan is long oval helmet,
kyt spec always states asian fit for rounder head.

ECE is not that great of a standard to adhere to, particularly in modular helmet due to the way the testing is conducted. for a full face it might be ok since there is less point of failure, but there are many cases of ECE approved modular that has the chinbar come undone on more rigourous testing.

personally i only use helmet that are at least SHARP tested. and more so for a modular. basically i am willing to use a ECE approved full face, but will only use a sharp approved modular...

Yes, SHARP approves ECE method of testing chin bar of flip-up helmets, and adds the Latch % during testing as a guide. SHARP complements ECE, by adding on higher impact velocity than ECE. (https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/sharp-testing/)

Snell is a different story. (Source: https://www.webbikeworld.com/why-most-modul...t-snell-rated/)
So far, just 2 are certified, LS2 FF394 and Zeus 3000. (https://www.smf.org/cert search keyword "modular")

interested you tested Arai but Shoei is out of your budget...

anyways, AGV has asian fit that might suit your needs too

Arai tested for fun, just want to try

looks like good news for modular helmet testing: ECE 22.06 update

nice. about time. perhaps i will need to edit my post to reflect ECE 22.05. lol

what's your thoughts on SNELL? this is the one that gets refreshed more often, compared to ECE and DOT.

SNELL is the gold standard, so really nothing much to say other than its the SAFEST money can buy.... but with one big caveat, there are some helmets that will never pass SNELL even if they are as safe as other SNELL approved coz of the features that immediately disqualify them (ie. internal visor and modular).

SNELL is focused on racing and the testers deliberately test the helmet at what they feel are the weak spots so they are more comprehensive. however, SNELL rated helmet might be noisy, lacks feature, uncomfortable, etc. so while it is the gold standard for racing, it is not necessarily the best for everyday use.

call me a sucker for buying into SHOEI's marketing talk, but i agree with its philosophy of "Active Safety" even at the cost of SNELL certification.

in conclusion, i still use SHARP as my preferred standard (until the ECE 22.06 comes into play).

yeah, comfortable helmet (and gear) reduces fatigue, and indirectly reduces the chances of it from happening. SNELL has few modular helmets, but that's not my thing. let's see how ECE22.06 goes, and pray it doesn't raise helmet pricing.

on another note, here's something to kill time with.
