Hello and welcome to the Nolan N100-5 review. This is the top of the range touring helmet from Nolan, and it’s equipped with some great features. It has a slim design with a large viewport and internal sun visor. In addition to this, it has an ultra wide field of vision which makes riding more enjoyable than ever before. The N100-5 also comes with a communication ready ear pocket that allows you to use your intercom system without any problems at all!
ECE 22-05 approved
ECE 22-05 is the European standard for motorcycle helmets. This means that any helmet you wear on the road must be ECE 22-05 approved. The helmet must also be marked with an “e” to show that it meets these standards.
So, how do you know if your helmet is ECE 22-05 approved? The easiest way is to look on the inside of the helmet. The sticker should be somewhere in the back, often just above where your head rests when wearing it.
Dual homologation and ability to ride with helmet in open or closed position
The Nolan N100-5 comes with a dual homologation, meaning it can be used in both open and closed positions. As such, this helmet has an internal sun visor that can be raised or lowered as needed. There’s also a chin bar that can be raised or lowered as needed.
The internal sun visor will fit into either the up position or down position depending on your preference.
The internal sun visor is tinted and will help provide you with a bit more protection from the sun’s rays. The chin bar can be raised or lowered as needed, depending on how much protection you want from the elements.
N-Com communication ready
The N-Com system can be added at a later date, and it’s worth noting that adding the system to your helmet will increase its price.
The helmet’s visor is also anti-scratch, which means that it will protect your eyes from any debris or branches that might fly up and smack you in the face. The visor is also removable, so you can swap it out for a clear one when riding in bright sunlight.
The helmet comes with a removable chin guard, which you can use to protect your face from any debris that might fly up. This is especially useful if you’re riding in the desert or other areas with large amounts of dust. The shield also has an anti-fog coating on it, so fogging isn’t a problem even when temperatures drop below freezing.
Ultra wide viewport and class leading internal sun visor
The N100-5 has a wide viewport for increased visibility and an internal sun visor that automatically retracts when not in use. The shape of the internal sun visor provides an unobstructed view in every direction, while its automatic retraction system means you need never worry about manually deploying it or storing it away. The N100-5 is the top of Nolan’s range, so you can be sure you’re getting the highest quality helmet available.

Visor locking system
The visor locking system is a key feature of the Nolan N100-5. The visor can be locked in the closed position, or in the open position. To lock it, simply slide your hand to where you feel a small lever under your thumb and push up on it. To release it, simply push down on that same lever again.

Microlock quick release buckle system
The N100-5 features a unique Microlock quick release buckle system. The chin strap is designed to be easily opened and fastened with gloves on, making it easy to operate even in the coldest conditions.
The N100-5 comes with a detachable liner, which is designed to be worn in extremely cold weather. The liner features a fleece chin guard, which helps keep moisture away from the face and neck.
The N100-5 has a double shell design, which provides excellent protection from outside elements. The outer shell is made of Ballistic nylon and the inner layer is constructed out of Gore-Tex material. This combination helps prevent water from penetrating through the helmet, ensuring that it stays dry inside.
Clima Comfort lining with Silver+ technology and sanitising treatment
The Clima Comfort lining has Silver+ technology, which wicks away moisture and keeps your head cool. It also prevents odours from building up. The sanitising treatment that the cap receives during its production process neutralises any germs that remain after washing.
It’s also easy to remove and machine wash, so you can keep it clean. The sweatband is made from breathable material that lets air circulate around your head and keeps you cool during hot days in the sun.
