Schuberth Helmets

I have purchased four Schuberth helmets from SPORTSBIKESHOP and can’t fault the service from them, however, Schuberth helmets, as perfect as they are, have an Achilles heal. It may just be me but all my Schuberth helmets leak through the top of visor in heavy rain. Rain drops penetrate and streak down the Pinlock, making it a challenge to see clearly, this is even worse outside of daylight hours. The fact that these helmets are excellent overall, this issue lets them down. The comms system is excellent but again, it has its flaws. The microphone gets in the way when closing the chin guard, this is a minor issue as you can push the microphone out of the way but, when making dynamic adjustments whilst riding it can be a distraction. The fitting and comfort are exceptional IMO, I know they’re not to everyone’s liking and they’re very expensive but, this is a vital piece of PPE and you get what you pay for.

This is my third Schuberth helmet very comfortable and better ventilation

Overall this is a good helmet, being one of the few flip fronts with a peak, so if that's your use case too this is probably the best you can get. Few negatives though, this has a very strange shape when in place, and the way it nips behind your skull makes taking it off perilous if you are wearing earbuds for example, they always go flying! The peak while clever is also prone to jumping position, and you can only change the position back with two hands, so bit of a thumbs down for that. The ventilation from the chin is also poor, and due to the airflow on an autumnal day it is VERY prone to condensation at the sides of the visor. I'll still wear it for my use case, which was dawn & sunset rides, but overall I am pretty disappointed, my HJC i91 is a far better helmet. I would not suggest buying this online, learn from my expensive mistake and make sure you try it on in store somewhere. I am a 2XL in the HJC i91, and the correct size of this for me was XL.

This helmet is so comfortable and is top quality, very pleased with my purchase.

After inquiring about the fit of the helmet I was contacted and reassured I could return the helmet if I found it to unsuitable. That was good enough for me. As it transpired it was a great fit.

I knew what I was buying as this is my third SCHUBERTH lid, just the best for touring - built in sun visor and peak to keep the rain off, comms for music, chat and GPS all at the same time.
