Helmet choice; Schuberth/Shark
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2013 10:21 pm
Hi
I currently have a Caberg Justissimo flip front helmet. I like the flip front but there are two small niggles. One is that even with the chin vent open I find that I have to ride with the visor slightly open to prevent misting, I might add that the inside of the visor is treated with anti-mist. The other issue is noise. When I put in my ear plugs it goes quiet but when I put my helmet on it is as though the ear plugs have been taken out. This happens irrespective of which of the three types of ear plugs I have. It is quieter than without ear plugs but not as quiet as without the helmet. Is this normal or a function of the helmet/my head/ears?
This started me thinking on chaging my helmet. The two options, provided the fit/cumfort is OK, could be either a Schberth C3 or a Shark Evoline 2. The Schuberths have a reputation for being very quiet and has pinlock but at a cost. The Shark is more wallet friendly but does not have pinlock so would it mist up the same as the Justissimo and would it be any quieter.
Has anyone out there had a Justissimo and either a Schuberth C3 or the Shark Evoline 2 who could give me their comparative comments.
Thanks
Jeremy
