My C3 pro has been a pain in the arse since January. In wet and cooler conditions it either leaked or misted up. Its' been to dealers, been to TranAm, been to Schuberth and had all sorts replaced, changed, repaired etc. J and S have now agreed a full refund as it now doesn't leak or mist up, it just lets moisture condense on the inside of the visor. Leaving me to believe as I always did, that its a ventilation (or lack of) issue.
So new helmet time. When I was first looking, I liked the Shark Evo one 2 due to the ability to flip the top over completely, but the helmet felt clunky putting it back to a full face. Oh how I may regret not taking that helmet.
Anyhow, since I have the SC10U com unit, it'd be nice to just transfer this to another Schuberth. I also like the wide visor, the feel and the warranty. The C3 is a step sideways, the C4 has an over the forehead microphone and gets awkward reviews...The E1 is missing reviews...
I notice that the E1 is very similar to the C3 pro (bar peak and chin vent) but can anyone confirm whether the large chin vent actually allows more air in and helps with circulation inside the helmet, across visor (so to speak) as opposed to just being a channel for air to cool the lower chin..if that makes sense? I am not bothered about the peak, in fact I'll probably remove it straight away so don't feedback on the vibes etc of said peak...
Your thoughts on ventilation and anything else you can think of? PS I can't afford a neotec 2...
