C3 is a great helmet, mine is black, came with a pinlock visor which is also brilliant and there isn't a quieter helmet on the market.
The only complaint I have is that stupid cover that fits (or doesn't) on the chin.

oh i had a caberg justissimo, but after 3 years of daily use it was knackered. it was also very noisy and the matt finish was almost impossible to clean.

i know use a cheap £40 lidl flip front for commuting, spare visor and cheek pads and 3 year warranty :)

That`s the one I couldn`t remember :yup: very comfy. I rate the Shark, I`ve had the Alex Barros for a few years and it still fits very well, only a small amount of give.

Going to try one of these ...they seem good value compared to the C3 almost £200 less..although Im not buying on price,just what fits best and works for me!

How would you rate them for noise??

I bought a new Shoei Multitec flip helmet.

Nice spec, came with extra tinted visor and pinlock insert and kind of tufted edging so its snugger arounf your neck etc.

Tried the extra edging...crap...took it off.

Helmet seemed to work fine round home etc but on long journey and where I had to use motorway the noise was terrible...just air noise...even with earplugs in its very nosiey.

So woulnt recommned it based on the high noise level.

Think next one will be a Schubert C3. Also heard good reports on the BMW helmet.

Eric.

I believe the BMW helmet is just the Schubert but rebadged and a little cheaper?

Mrs C(M) has an Evoline too. Has the BIG (in her opinion) plus that you can actually flip the jawpiece right back and it's homologated as an open lid too. She says it's a quiet enough lid.

Stop Looking.. Bought one!

Went over to try one or two lids at Helmet City, they had the Shark Evoline which is a nice bit of kit..tried one on, fit not perfect but good..good features, even rideable with lid open..sod it.. I'll have one!!

Then.... they got a C3 out..wow..this thing fits perfect, great build quality and so bloody light compared to the Shark, which aint that heavy but its a big shell compared..
No contest! No money now either..its £200 more!

Oh well..thanks for input guys..

got this one :
