Sizing, and comparison to Shoei

I wear a Shoei X-11 size L, marked 59-60cm and it fits perfectly. Which size C3 will work best for me, and has anyone here switched from Shoei (that they liked) to a Schuberth C3? Thanks.

Additional info: I tried a HJC Sy-max size L and found it to be awful. It crushed my forehead while at the same time feeling loose everywhere else and it even rolled forward 3/4 the way off my head despite being strapped snugly.
I used to use a Shoey.
The Schuberth in the same size became smaller, and much squeezing the sides of the head.
The chin was also difficult to fit.
I had to give up the Schubert envying people who do not have a 4XL head. By the way, after this I tried the Scorpion EVO 900 ant it is worst than Schuberth.
My wife tried a larger size but was a little loose. But most people I know use a larger size for the Schuberth.
The best way is to try it. Helmet is very personal. Go to the store, put on his head and keep it at least 10 minutes.
Ride safe and good luck!

The EXO-900 Transformer Helmet gives you the freedom to choose between Full- and Open-Face configurations with the added benefits of detachable peak visor and dropdown sun visor. This makes the Scorpion EXO-900 truly unique and gives you options that no other modular helmet can offer. In seconds and with no tools, you can convert your full-face helmet to an open-face version to meet the changing riding conditions or style preference if you ride different motorcycles or scooters. Features AirFit helmet pump air inflation system for a custom fit. Cheek pad and neck roll adjustment system for improved fit and wind noise reduction EverClear no-fog shield system KwikWick washable wicking liner Retractable SpeedView no-fog internal sun visor Toggle Aero-tuned vent system Polycarbonate composite shell DOT / ECE approved
 

How loud is this helmet?

I have a transformer style helmet from another brand. I find it to be excessively loud. It caused me to buy $60 earplugs that only help a little. Even when it is fully closed up, the wind thumping against my ears is terrible, so I don't wear it anymore.

How loud do you find the EXO900 ?
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!
The phrase popularized by Milton Friedman also applies to helmets.
You get what you pay for.
It's a good helmet remembering that the noise sensation inside helmet derived from the quality of the helmet itself added to your motorcycle aerodynamic protection.
Sometimes your head is in a turbulence zone provided by the windshield.
Sometimes no protection is better than a little protection. Find your comfort zone.
Among the modular helmets this this is good.
But there is not $ 600 bucks helmet.
I hope this helps.

Are these the same size as BMW Helmets?

I have a 60-61 system 5 helmet, so would I be the same in the schuberth? I believe in the BMW I'd be a 61-62 in the flip-up, as they are a slightly tighter fit. And I can't try on a schuberth as we don't have them here.
If you can try the System 6 will be fine.
The hull have the same size.
The shin section of BMW S6 is a little smaler than the C3.

Is the Schuberth SRC System compatible with BMW System 6 helmet manufactured by Schuberth?

I have a friend that are using this "set".
But I think that BMW comunicator is the better for system 6, with easier operation.

While this product is water resistant, it is not waterproof. It Should not be used in heavy rain or snowfall. In any event, the silicone cover Protecting the charging jack Should always be tightly closed When exposed to any rain or snowfall.

How much should shoulder armor cover?

I received my Rev'it Air, and the Large was a bit tight. I ordered the XL and it fit better. I noticed the shoulder armor on both jackets covers more of the deltoid area and actually very little of the top of the shoulder. I watched the YouTube video on the jacket and the fit seems to be the same on the model. The armor is below the seam which rests on the corner of his shoulder, giving him protection mostly over the arm. Is this how shoulder armor should fit?
It's correct.
Most of impact injuries hits the top part of the arms than the collarbone. When it brokes the fracture was caused by indirect impact.
