Schuberth C5 - Eclipse Blue

Having previously had a C3 and C4 pro,and liked the quality and fit, l knew that the C5 would be a suitable choice. However, l was uncertain about the sizing so l ordered a Large which arrived in less than 24 hours. It proved to be too large so l immediately ordered a Medium which was perfect, and the quality seems to be up to the Schuberth standard. The service provided by Sportsbikeshop was as usual, first-rate.

This helmet is so full of quality details it puts the previous models in the shade as well as other quality lids. The fit of the SC2 intercom is easy as the speakers are already in not the nightmarish strip down of old. It's s roomy life so I'm a 58cm I've went for a 57cm and it's perfect but try one on.

A truly great helmet. my third Schuberth helmet and easily the most quiet. The fit suits me perfectly and there was a massive price reduction because of the release of the new Shoei. I also like to open the visor with either hand and this is much easier with a Schuberth

My 3rd Schuberth, first flipfront one. Very snug & comfy fit. Quality materials. Quiet as my old S2. Good ventilation, tested in the heatwave. Sun visor is not good enough, only half as dark as the S2 & no option to buy a darker one (yet)Sun visor lever is easy to use.
Main visor good but really heavy rain still gets in through the top even with the improved top edge profile. I would recommend this C5 helmet. Only not excellent due to poor sun visor.

Originally bought a white c5, from sportsbikeshop Leeds. Once home I found it had a paint defect. A quick call to sportsbikeshop and they dispatched another one for collection from Leeds. This helmet also had the same defect. In the end I paid more for the eclipse blue.
Initial view, helmet feels well made and comfortable. Hope it's as good as the Arai it's replacing.

After being pressure sold by a SBS staff member the Neotec 2 in July I finally relented and went back to what I know and love. The C5 is comfy, quiet and feels like a quality product. The intercom is a dramatic improvement to the C3 and easy to install again something the Neotec can't claim. The C5 is brilliant… don't listen if SBS staff tell you differently. If you want a Neotec with intercom I've got a brand new hardly used one.

Excellent value and fit. Staff were helpful, knowledgable and more than happy to bring different size and livery samples to try on.

Having used a Shark Spartan for a while I decided to try the Schuberth, mainly due it being quite and a premium brand.
Slight problem with 1 built in speaker not working but a quick call to SBS and a replacement helmet was on its way.
The helmet is of course heavier than I was used to, especially with the front raised but that's only to be expected. Mechanically the lift front solid and fits well when closed.
It is quieter than my Shark was but not by much. Most noise seems to come from around the neck area.
Very stable at speed (70mph max of course !) including when it's windy.
Added the clip on intercom system which is good but a little fiddly to get used too.
Size was about right but needed to push the foam padding in a bit round my ears to make it more comfortable for my glasses and after using for a couple of weeks is now ok.
Overall a well built and designed helmet which I am happy to use but not convinced it was worth a good few hundred pounds more than a new Shark Spartan which it the time was half the price but you don't know till you try.

Opening the box and you see that great finish. Put it on, fits snug and feels plush. Easy to use. Plus sportsbikeshop were terrific as usual

Replacement for my C3 Pro and whilst I have not worn it in the rain yet, it is comfy and quieter than the C3, even on the motorway.

Bought this after watching the sportsbikeshop review as I wanted a quiet flip open helmet for touring, the sizing is perfect I'm really pleased with it, best of all it was delivered next day.
Thank you.

My first Schuberth, coming off of an Arai that was a little on the loose side having lost weight. The large size C5 was a snug fit, and just a tiny bit too tight on the forehead. I ordered a thinner neck pad to sort this. So far very happy, ventilation is very good. I wear ear plugs so can't really say if it's quieter than others, but certainly at motorway speed it's a much smoother helmet than any other I've owned, and I ride a naked bike.
