Default 3/4 and full face convertable helmets?

I currently have a half helmet and its nice, but I want to get a second helmet that is 3/4 or full face. I heard about Nolans convertible helmets that are full face, but the jaw bar can be raised and lowered in essence giving you a two in one helmet.

Here are two I'm looking at

Nolan N102
Nolan N100E

Three quick questions

Is Nolan a quality helmet manufacturer?
Anyone have experience with these types of helmets?
Any other companies make a helmet like this?

If you have a fat head, you may have trouble getting one that fits... i can use the term "fathead" cuz I am one.
Make sure you try them on

Best to try em on and get the one that feels best to you. I use a 3/4 because the full was not working for my fat face....if not for that small problem I would have bought the full.

Also look into Caberg Justissimo.
It also has a retractable sun shield. the chin guard can come off easy to make it a 3/4 helmet.
I picked up from Victory cycles.
Here is a link to article.

I have the H-D Stealth modular andI LOVE it. (It is actually made by KBC I believe.) I had a Fulmer Modus modular before that but it was not comfortable on long rides. (Not enough padding or ventilation.) HJC also makes a nice modular.

I'v been using a Nolan N100 for over a year. I love it. Very comfortable. Easy on an off with my glasses on.

Lots of manufacturers make them now.
Nolan
Shoei
KBC
HJC
and a host of others. Read reviews at helmetharbor.com and webbike world.
bought a few helmets from helmet harbor, good on line vendor.
