Hi Handy1!I have always wanted a higher end helmet over The HJC that I have been using over the years. I have had many models of the HJC brand. I have been drawn to the Schubert C3 for sometime, but could never bring myself to spend that much for a quality helmet. I have found some good price reductions on there helmets. I lean toward the C3 pro and have founds some at a somewhat reasonable price. For my wife ,I can only find the C4 pro in a women’s helmet. Not that she has ever had a helmet made for a women,but thought I would go that way this time. The reviews for a touring helmet lean to the C3 pro over the C4 pro. I have a C3 pro and aC4 pro in a shopping cart waiting for me to hit the buy button. Should I buy both helmets in a C4 pro ? Keep searching for a women’s C3 pro or hit the buy button on what I have.
If you are still looking for a modular helmet, I highly recommend the AGV Sportmodular Carbon helmet. I just bought one this past month to replace my Schuberth C3. The AGV is more comfortable, just as quiet, and much lighter. I was able to get the Carbon/White model for $599 on CycleGear.com but I think others are selling it for about the same price.I have always wanted a higher end helmet over The HJC that I have been using over the years.

Over my years of riding and wearing helmets, name the brand and I have probably owned it. All said and done however, I always end up going back to Shoei. More bucks, but, you can get replacement liners for the shell, the fit (on me) has always been the best.I have always wanted a higher end helmet over The HJC that I have been using over the years.

Congrats. However, I had to chuckle just a bit.I know, it's an older thread. I've had a Schuberth C3 for way too many years now, and I have replaced the liners, sun visor and a couple of visors over that time, but it's worn out. I'm gambling, but I bought into the new C5 and the built-in Sena SC-2 communications system from Champion Helmets in Amsterdam. I don't have them yet but as a couple of guys have said they have gone to a split liner that can accommodate more head shapes, meets the stricter ECE22-06 safety standards for 2023 and is P/J certified. My specific choice of style (Eclipse White/Black/Yellow) should be here in less than a month. I'll report back how I like it.

Bought one for my summer helmet. Great lid.Over my years of riding and wearing helmets, name the brand and I have probably owned it. All said and done however, I always end up going back to Shoei.

Have owned full face, half shell "Beanie" style helmets, you name it , I have owned them. The closed (full ) face is nice 'cept you get a LOT of road noise and dirt coming up from the road and into the helmet.
Currently own a Shoei 3/4 face helmet, model is J-Cruise.
You won't find them waiting on the shelves as they are not the "fashion " helmet of the month so to speak. No graphics just a nice looking no moto-geek helmet.

Their test confirmed my personal experience. The Shoei Air has become my helmet of choice when riding the RT. It's the quietest and most comfortable helmet by a wide margin and I own a lot of helmets. Their sizing fits my noggin perfectly.Champion Helmets seems to offer some pretty authentic helmet reviews/comparisons on youtube.
On a quick note referencing the c3pro face shield and the rain. This is what happened to me. My lack of paying attention maybe. I never fully closed the face shield. I found out that it is fully closed when forced past the final detent. Hard to do with one hand wearing gloves and riding. So for me this allowed some moisture in on heavy downpours. Now I know better. It is just slightly open for venting I guess until fully closed.Their test confirmed my personal experience. The Shoei Air has become my helmet of choice when riding the RT.

When riding the GSA I prefer the ARAI XD 4. On really cold days I reach for a Schubert C3 Pro. It keeps my head warm and doesn't let any moisture in.
The Shoei Neotec fits me a little more comfortably, but unlike the Schuberth, its face shield failed to keep the rain out. Several repair attempts along with face shield replacement could not fix this shortcoming.
