Schuberth helmets?

Buy what fits best. If you crash it, replace it.

Some of us even clean em from time to time.

Unless you have a snoz that is of exceptional size, there wont be a problem. Don't have to wear sunglasses which can be a pain plus you get to look like Maverick from Top Gun.

Maverick was a sulky little muppit. Now Iceman was the business..... Though cant help bit see all the homosexual connotations now in retrospect

Anyway. Thanks for you feedback all. The last two lids have been Arais and its time fora change

I've been using a C3 every day for almost 2 years. It's a great helmet - much better than the LS2 and Nolan that I had before it. As others have mentioned, it's light, quiet, well ventilated, comfortable and convenient.

I do however have some minor gripes with it. The anti-fog on the sun-visor doesn't work very well at a standstill - perhaps this is just a result of the excellent neck seal. I get quite a bit of rain entering the chin vent when open and it splashes up the inside of the visor. The back of the helmet is cut quite high so rain goes down my neck when I turn to check before changing lanes. There used to be a slight whistling noise from somewhere, but maybe I've just gotten used to this now. And finally I bumped into something the other day and scratched the visor, but there are no replacements in the country, so it'll be at least 2 or 3 weeks before I have a clear view again.

Having had my moan, I'd still buy another, or better still the C3 Pro. And I'd be a really happy camper if the supplier could keep a decent stock of spares😜

Sales person pulled back the liner. Label inside: manufactured by schuberth.

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

I'm not sure about now either, but I do know that Schuberth made my old Series 5 bimmer hat. I'm not sure about my private Series 6 Evo or my work Series 6.

The pivot is all that let the C3 down, and that's after constant use for a couple of years. It's probably be fine under regular but not constant use.

The head shapes are slightly different from the bimmers too. The only real way to know if it's a good fit is to try them on.

Basically, any of the high end helmets are great helmets. I just have my personal preference.
