The MDS M13 is a full face helmet that provides full protection. Full face helmets provide greater protection than their open face counterparts and have a lower rate of detachment in an accident than other types of helmets. A helmet is the cornerstone of your riding protection gear; and for the most protection you need the MDS M13.
The MDS M13 helmet has you covered. The High Resistant Thermoplastic Resin shell which is available in 2 sizes (weighing in at around 1550 grams) covers the head: front, back, top, and side. Safety studies show that 15% of impacts are to the area between the chin and visor. The MDS M13 provides impact resistant protection to this crucial area. The visor is attached utilizing AVG’s XQRS (Extra Quick Release) System. This system allows for tool less replacement of the standard scratch and fog-resistant street 12 visor in a matter of seconds. The quick release buckle makes for easy putting on and taking off of your helmet. The MDS M13 helmet features an efficient ventilation system to keep you cool. A front air intake and a rear discharge help promote airflow without buffeting the head and neck. The helmet is lined with antibacterial Dry-Comfort material which helps wick moisture away and is completely removable and washable. You don’t have to sacrifice style for safety with the MDS M13. Express your individual style. The MDS M13 comes in the standard black and white colors (matte and gloss), but stunning brush designs are available in red, blue, and silver.
A correct fit is crucial to proper head protection. Your helmet can’t protect you if it doesn’t stay on your head. To get the proper fit you must measure your head at the largest part. Take a tape measure and measure the circumference of your head right at the brow. Then measure your head around the eyes. Take two or three measurements to be sure you’ve got it correct. This helmet is available in 5 sizes.

The circumference of your head provides a good guideline for the size you need for a helmet. Use a tape measure to measure the widest circumference of your head. For most people, this point is about an inch above your eyebrows, along the junction of your ear and over the lump on the back of your head. In the size chart you will find which size fits the circumference of your head in cm.
All heads are different and that is why manufacturers make different helmet shapes, this can be roughly categorized into three shapes: round, oval and round-oval.
Most motorcycle helmet manufacturers provide a predominantly round-oval fit so that they can appeal to the widest possible audience. Keep in mind that the fit of a helmet is very complex and difficult to describe exactly. Small differences may therefore also be possible within these three categories!
In general, the helmet sizes and the corresponding number of cm do overlap. If your previous old AGV was size L, chances are you also need an L for your new Nolan. But as mentioned before, there can be small differences in fit per brand and even series. That is why it can happen that the cool new helmet you've been eyeing, even when you have measured yourself well, simply wont fit well.
You can check the size and fit in the following ways:
A good "tight" fit is what you are looking for, after all, you don't want your helmet to suddenly start shifting while riding. If you think the helmet is too small, keep in mind that the inner lining hase to be worn in a bit, and the helmet will become a bit wider when used. The cheek pads in particular usually feel quite tight in the beginning but quickly become more comfortable. The best way to determine whether a helmet has a good tight fit or simply is to small, is to keep the helmet on at home for half an hour to an hour. If you don't start to suffer from a headache or get red pressure spots, Then it's all good!
The ECE (22.05 / 22.06) standard is recognized in many countries around the world, but not all countries accept this standard for road use. It is important that your specific helmet has the correct certification for the country you are in.
The USA does not require helmets in every state. If you still want to wear a helmet for safety reasons, then there can in any case be no discussion about the certification of the helmet. Want to know which rules apply per state? You read it here.
Although the above quality marks are well known and widely used, there are also countries that use their own unique quality marks and only accept these. The following countries have their own certification: USA (DOT), Brazil (NBR), Japan (JIS), China (CCC).
