New hat time £££

[Prizam]

So far I have managed around 30,000 miles out of my HJC. It is defiantly getting towards the end of its life.

I have been round the houses looking at helmets, and have settled on the Schuberth C3 Pro. Best fit, comfort, acoustics and features. I also really like the Schuberth C3 SRC Bluetooth Communication System. Am using a crappy £30 ebay jobbie at the moment and whilst it works, it can be uncomfortable, radio is crap and it is now starting to crackle cut in / out.

My only problem with the proposed Schuberth solution?

The price... £750 !


And that's about the best I can find.


My challenge to you... Am i getting the right helmet?

Can you find the lid and SRC system cheaper any ware else? (And not in white or yellow)

Help me save a few quid so im not eating beans for a month!

Putting up a fight is it?

Sportsbikeshop will do it for 700 so that's a start.

Every time i look to replace it my wallet runs away, so the HJC lives on.

Will take a look at Sportsbikeshop.

Whats this show in London all about then? Probably wont get time to go though.

The HJC is crap if im honest. Wont have another.

Worth a look at shark, though i mostly after the austic properties of the Schuberth.

Tom - Will PM, but donr hold out much hope of it working.

OP - I'd recommend this. The German sites aren't much cheaper now (£680) so getting it from somewhere in the UK and from a PHer is the way to go imo.

Yep, have a price that hurts a little less from Tom. Need to get my nogin measured and try on a couple to be sure of size and then will give Tom a cal to get it orderd.

Dont think it will be this weekend though, have missed my window of oppertunity to get out of the house for now.

As a follow up and closure to this thread, i eventually got my ass in gear and brought a C3 Pro through SAS Tom on here.

Great service and a good guy, went for a slightly nicer pattern on the lid so cost a little extra, but worth it.

Hat turned up a week later, everything as expected. Fitted the SRS (What a pain) and was up and running.


Probably covered nearly 1,000 miles in it now.


- Not as quiet as I had hoped, still need ear plugs for anything long distance motorway > 90mph
- Fit takes a while to get used too, I had a red mark on my forehead for the first week of using it.
- Pin lock is epic, i will never be without one again.
- Flip front takes getting used too. One morning i was confused at the amount of extra wind noise i was getting on the motorway... Turned out the flip lock had not engaged properly on one side.
- SCS, it is great. but bloody complicated. Cough or sneeze in the helmet and it starts listening for a voice command.


All in all. 8/10. Maby my budget HJC was better than i thought.

Buletooth will pair with almost anything.

I dont have the viability issues, though do know what you mean about the strip at the top. I only see it if i look for it.
