I bought the N42 last year. I agree with many of the observations here. The mini tinted shield I use rarely because it doesn't come down far enough. The regular shield is great and I've not had it come up in winds. The quick release is just the best. I've read somewhere that the Nolan's were a little better suited to rounder heads, I had a little discomfort on my forehead as it seemed to tight but now it's settled in and I like it and would buy another Nolan.
