Here is a copy of an e-mail I have just sent to MotoLegends. Thinking of upgrading your C3 Pro..? Try before you buy.
I rode for a few hours over the weekend and have grown to really dislike the C4.
The visor doesn’t mist up any more but the sun visor does! The front vent hardly lets any air in.
I ordered the same size as my old C3 Pro and the C4 helmet doesn’t fit my head half as well. The C3 Pro fits like a glove, the C4 is very uncomfortable on a long ride, almost painful after about an hour of riding. After about 1 hour I had to stop and let my head recover before riding any further!
To be honest the C4 is a great disappointment and a bad choice on my part. An expensive mistake..
I am telling you this so that you can advise other customers of the problems, especially, if like me they think this is supposed to be an upgrade from the C3 Pro; as far as I’m concerned it isn’t. I don’t know how to tell Schuberth directly as their web site has no contact details but, as far as I’m concerned, they have dropped the ball with this one.
For long journeys I will use my C3 Pro, the best helmet I’ve ever owned in 30+ years of motorcycling.

I am sure some people will get on fine with this helmet but, for me, it is no where near as good as my old C3 Pro.
If this post stops people from making the same expensive mistake I have made it will have done its job!
