Nolan N80-8 N-Com - Mandrake Metal White / Blue / Red

After a couple of months use, overall, I am really impressed with the fit, finish, construction and quality feel of the N80-8. Personally speaking, I like the understated non-graphic solid colour, it's subtle but classy looking. Although i'm use to a double D ring, I find the micro-ratchet chin strap easy to secure and release. i have seen reviews which have been critical of the lack of airflow through the top vent but i've found it fine, I never find myself guessing if it's open or not, you can feel the airflow inside the shell. The dropdown sun visor works ok, lowered by a lever/ratchet mechanism concealed in the chinbar, the sunvisor itself would benefit from being darker. Good wide field of view through the visor with a very positive staged closure and an easy visor removal/ refitting. I've fitted a Cardo Spirit HD intercom and encountered no issues with the installation. As an aside, I have previously owned Arai, Shoei and X-Lite helmets and this Nolan is just as impressive for a fraction of the cost.

Excellent service as usual from SBS, I have ordered and tried on quite a few helmets and finally this one fits. Excellent Nolan quality and looks great as well, comes with the pinlock fitted so really is out of box and straight on.

Excellent service from SBS just took the helmets that did not fit back to the brilliant team at Harlow, no fuss easy and convenient.

Great fit got the small and plenty of ear room compared to other lids I have comfortable lining light weight helmet very low wind noise . Got the ncom to fit in it easy to fit and Great intercom can't fault lid at all

I bought this helmet to replace my old N87 after my crash. So I fully recommend Nolan as a brand. Great fit with modern aggressive looking design and premium feel considering the price highly recommend, also I found it very easy to fit the Nolan intercom system.

The N80-8-N exceeded my expectations. I was after a N87 but after no available size I opted for the N80-8. Simply put the lid delivers smiles all round, great price, correct fit with no niggles.
If Carlsberg done helmets it would be the N80-8!

N80 8
Comfy bit tight getting on but good when on, sun visor best quality, looks good, well made, wind noise not too bad for cost, but bit of water getting in in rain, so went for a shoei lot more money, obviously no problems, shame as I really liked nolan n80 8

Purchased to replace my six year old Nolan helmet. Still the same very good value.

Really like this helmet. It looks good, fits my head great and is well ventilated.

Originally ordered the large for my 59cm bonce, but it wasn't quite snug enough, ordered the medium and it's perfect.

SBS dealt with the delivery and returns in their usual slick and easy manner. Highly recommended.

Seen a helmet on another website and asked sportsbikeshop if they could match it, within a matter of minutes they replied and said yes, I ordered it on the 25th Dec, and it arrived on the 28th of Dec, I can't recommend them enough, A lovely helmet that fits perfect, So 5 star service from me.

Stunning colours, very comfortable and looks great! The only downside is it's very noisy at higher speeds

Nice fit, looks good but a little noisey over about 50 mph and that's not good. Will see how it goes, might change at a later date.

Nolan Full face helmet.
Comfortable interior with nice features: glasses fit well, good sun visor which is easy to use and comes down low. Decent vents which are easy to use whilst riding. A bit noisy at speed. Overall a good quality competitively priced helmet.

I'd never really considered buying a Nolan helmet, as the brand doesn't really shout 'cool'… but then I remembered that I'm a middle-aged, sports-tourer biker who is far more interested in comfort and practicality than impressing other people! Great, comfortable fit, pin-lock sorted, slots for glasses, sun visor and intercom ready too.. incredible value and still not a bad-looking lid… why pay twice as much for a different brand when it's all right here??

Brought this to replace my AGV and it was the first time ever trying a Nolan on. I've done around 100 hours in it. I can honestly say it's comfy, build quality it good, noise levels are good, the quick release is easy to work with gloves on. The position of the visor when it comes down is perfect for me and is easy to operate. The air vents are easy to find and operate. The weight isn't a issue for me I have worn this on 12hour riding days and it's mega no issue the night or next morning. I haven't came across any issues as of yet. But ask me in a couple of months about this helmet again and we'll see what I say then. Would advise on my experiences.
