Re: [DucatiST] Schuberth C3 helmet, anyone want it? $

 

I own a C1 (Ducati Red), a C2 and know that the C3 fits me well.
However, I've found Schuberths to be dire on my ST.
Shuberths are fine when I ride nearly upright (Monster and previous BumW).
In a crouch, on the ST, the top of the visor opening obscures my vision
unless I tilt my head back unnaturally. On a real 'bum in the air'
sportsbike, I imagine it would be excruciating.
I wear my Nolan Air, or Shoei Multitech on the ST. What's really great
about the Schuberth, for me, is that I can wear my glasses while I put
it on. I've had one pair of glasses wrecked and several near misses,
when the wind has blown my glasses off the tank while I'm putting my
helmet on. When I tried the Shoei on at the dealers, I just managed
to get it on wearing glasses and thought that it would get easier when
I had more practice, but I was wrong.
