I was given a beautiful gift by my family, blank check for a new helmet. This is a search that has gone on for several monthes before given the blank check. Thought I had it down to one helmet (95%), Shoei Multitec, then Schuberth came out with the C3, with pinlock. All those monthes of searching out the window!

What is the opinion of my learnerd friends in the K1100 community. All comments welcome, remember I live in Europe so product support should not be an issue.

Can't speak to all the virtues of the C3, but the retractable sun visor is a very nice feature. (My Caberg has one.) Last I checked, the Multitec did not have it.

Only the Reasonists. They believe in an evidence-based world, something called Rationalism. But it's a tiny group, not so influential.

You're right, The Shoei gives you an extra tinted face shield. the wife has a Caberg, which she really likes, only she choose the regular full face. They improved the sun visior on the C3 where it falls further over your nose where the C2 was a strip (think robo cop). Looking for noise elimination and comfort as the key factors.

Take a look at the HJC SY-MAX 2 - it has a internal sun visor also (two position)
