Nolan N60-6 Sport — The Ventilation Specialist
Italian brand Nolan has made helmets in Bergamo since 1972. The N60-6 Sport uses their Airbooster ventilation architecture — 7 intake channels, 6 exhaust — which makes it one of the better-ventilated helmets in its price class.

- Shell: Lexan polycarbonate
- Weight: 1,350 g (size M)
- Ventilation: Airbooster Technology — 7 intake channels + 6 exhaust channels
- Visor: Dual Action System (DAS) anti-scratch visor; PINLOCK 70 EVO lens compatible

Why This Helmet Works
13 ventilation channels at €199 is a real differentiator. The Airbooster system channels air through the crown and chin simultaneously. If you ride in summer heat and want a full-face that breathes, this is the pick in the sub-€250 bracket.
The Polycarbonate Caveat
The shell is Lexan polycarbonate, not composite fibreglass. That's standard at this price — the same trade-off applies to the Nolan N80-8 and most sub-€250 helmets. If shell material matters to you, step up to the AGV K6 S or HJC RPHA 91.
⚠️ Verify current certification at point of purchase — ratings may vary between production runs.
Vegan Verification Notes
Lexan polycarbonate shell. Clima Comfort lining is polyester microfibre — no leather, suede, or silk used. Nolan confirms synthetic-only materials on all N60-6 Sport variants.
