The C5 is no doubt awesome and is at the limit of what I'd spend, although I added the slick Sena 50 series based SC2 system. How does this carbon C5 feel while riding? Noise compared to the regular C5 or similar Shoei?

I've added a Cardo Edge, upgraded speakers, a Brake Free, and tinted face shield to it. I've just worn it for 700 miles in 3 days, which included monsoons and 95F heat. I can say that compared with the Shoei it is significantly lighter (no end of day/next morning neck aches), significantly quieter (preventing headaches, helping intercom clarity), totally watertight (pinlock standard), supremely comfortable (premium interior), and it flows much more air. It's all positives, except Ii prefer the Shoei chinbar release mechanism. Overall though, I've owned literally dozens of helmets and still use four of them - but this has quickly become my favorite one I've ever owned. And at $1,600 it really ought to, right? But the gamble paid off IMPO.

It's never a waste of money buying good riding gear. I am always amazed at the number of people who are happy to spend $20 000 or more on a new bike, and wear whatever cheap helmet their dealer has on the shelf. I've always been glad of my protective gear the few times I've been sliding down the road. Thanks for the video.

Well said. I've lost count of the number of people I've know put paper bags on their heads when riding because it was a 'bargain' to buy. I always say your broken arm will heal, your broken head is another matter entirely.

I've owned many helmets over decades and currently have four in use - but this has become my new favorite over the first 1,000 miles I've ridden in it. Quality is never cheap, but I actually think this one is worth it for the lightness, quietness, comfort, and perceived protection.

You have to have the "Schuberth Head" to wear one their helmets. They have the most limited shell sizes amongst the high end, high price helmets. As an example, Arai models have incredibly customizable 5 shell size sizes plus the tear off interior layers. I bought Schuberth S2 size L back in the day and barely wore it. It became a nice decoration in my living room. Their C3 or C4 size L is too small and size XL is too big for me just because of their limited shell sizes. Buyers should be aware.

Good feedback. Schuberth do offer multiple shell sizes and customizable interior layers for the C5. In addition, the interior and exterior shape are both totally different from the S2, C3 & C4 helmets - none of which fitted my head well IMHO. The C5 is different and works for me, but I did have to size up one size compared with my Arai and Shoe helmets. But as I mentioned there are some good options and buy the one that fits and feels the best to you as an individual. For me, with several helmets at home to choose from, this has now ecome my personal favorite.
