This is a SWEET looking helmet. It looks just like it was taken out of a helicopter cockpit. That's good and bad. It looks cool, and the aerodynamics down its sides make it quieter than average. Here's the downside: it's a BIG helmet. The outer shell is HUGE. I'm disappointed the pulldown visor is clear and not tinted, although, you have to wear a second set of glasses anyway, because of the turbulence that makes your eyes water. It comes is a really neat military-style pack that can hold a lot of gear AND your helmet at the same time. I got it for a price that was too good to pass up, so I have no regrets. I like it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Schuberth C3 Pro Hi Vis Helmet The new Schuberth C3 Pro has been redesigned to improve on the original C3, which was already one of the quietest and most technologically advanced helmets ever produced. The rear spoiler, which has been further optimized in extensive wind tunnel testing, turns the C3 Pro into a real sport helmet which also demonstrates outstanding aerodynamic properties at high speeds in excess of 100 mph. With its enhanced aeroacoustics of 82 dB(A) at 100 km/h the C3 Pro is one of the quietest helmets in the world. The C3 Pro also incorporates two integrated antennas for increased ranges and better FM radio reception prepared for the fully integrated communication unit SRC-System. The inner lining, made of carefully selected materials such as COOLMAX, Interpower and Thermocool, has been extensively re-shaped and redesigned and sets new benchmarks with respect to comfort. New or Updated Features Redesigned shell is more aerodynamic and provided more downforce at higher speeds with little buffeting Interior helmet sound levels have been reduced to 82 dB(A) at 60 mph C3 84 dB(A) Interior liner has been completely redesigned with fewer seams and a more universal, interior fit Improved EPS with integrated antenna for SRC-System which improves radio and Bluetooth range New micro-lock ratchet chin strap Larger reflective panels on neckroll Improved faceshield ratcheting Integrated sun visor has a new look and improved quality Acoustics A quiet helmet means active safety for the motorcyclist. This permits the rider to concentrate on riding particularly at higher speeds. Many hours in the Schuberth acoustics wind tunnel have ensured that the C3 Pro is quiet. The comprehensive acoustics package with optimized helmet shell, wind deflector and ergonomic shape of the neck padding make the C3 Pro at 82 dBA one of the quietest helmets of all. Acoustics package makes helmet quiet Installation of a wind deflector enables the aeroacoustics and consequently the noise level to be improved still further. Only 82dB(A) at 100 km per hour (with naked bikes) Outer Shell The outer shell of the C3 Pro is offered in two helmet shell sizes and combines an aerodynamically optimal shape with excellent protection. It is manufactured using Schuberth's typical compression molding process and thus permits great stability and a low weight. Shell material S.T.R.O.N.G. fiber Helmet shell technology from SCHUBERTH permits low weight Glass fiber with a special resin added is compressed in a vacuum at high pressure to form a helmet shell which is exceptionally sturdy Perfected aerodynamics for higher speeds Upward lift 0! Directionally stable No oscillatory tendency No buffeting Spoiler integrated into the helmet shell SRC-System Ready The C3 Pro is by default equipped to accommodate the SCHUBERTH SRC-System C3 Pro (sold separately). To guarantee ideal radio reception for you, the C3 Pro is already equipped with two integrated antennas to boost reception and a Bluetooth connection. Optimum reception at all times Bluetooth antenna for wireless mobile, GPS and intercom connections to other SRC-System owners FM and Bluetooth antennas integrated into the helmet for optimum reception EPS The helmet shell of special EPS foam is modular in design to ensure optimal shock absorption. This complex segmentation guarantees enhanced force absorption and distribution and maximum safety. Made of specially optimized EPS foam Complex multizone foaming allows optimal shock absorption Inner Lining A special inner lining of the C3 Pro which was developed according to the innovative Comfort Fit concept ensures that the helmet fits comfortably and securely in all situations. The combination of carefully selected COOLMAX and Thermocool materials and the additional use of Interpower coatings also make the inner lining a highly-effective moisture removal and cooling system. COOLMAX pad system, completely removable and washable (hand wash, 30C) Optimized fit Variable for effective ventilation Adjustable for summer/winter Allergen-free Antibacterial Removable comfort cheek pads and head band pads Ventilation The C3 Pro is equipped with a further development of the proven C3 ventilation system. Thanks to the new design of the ventilation elements, the supply of fresh air is increased by up to 60. The combination of multipath channels in the EPS foam shell and the head/chin/mouth ventilation ensure that fresh air is distributed effectively over the entire head area. A.R.O.S. and Neck Strap The Anti-Roll-Off System (A.R.O.S.) especially developed by SCHUBERTH is provided as a safety feature in every SCHUBERTH motorcycle helmet. It ensures that the chinstrap is closed and correctly adjusted The helmet cannot pivot off the head from behind The risk of contact between the chin section of the helmet and the chin or throat of the rider is minimized due to the small angle of tilt The consequences of the helmet coming into contact with the chest as the result of an accident are reduced Precise setting of the chinstrap length through adjustment on both sides Micro-lock ratchet lock Faceshield The EasyChange visor mechanism makes changing visors extremely quick and simple without use of tools. City position offers maximum ventilation while traveling at slower speeds Pinlock visor prevents shield from fogging DOT and ECE certified.
 

Is there going to be an orange version?

Any word for the orange version as the non pro C3?
I don't know about ALL orange, but mine is black on the sides with a big, wide orange stripe down the middle - the EXACT same orange as my '03 Triumph Thunderbird Sport.

Does it come with a second tinted shield?

On Disel's site it shows both and doesn't say extra. I could see it going either way, let me know what is in the box. (sky78 version)

Thank you!
Adam
It does NOT come with a tinted visor. Too bad. The visor doesn't block the wind very good by itself, anyway, so I have to wear sunglasses underneath. It DOES come with the most awesome helmet bag ever. It's a military-style miniature duffel bag that you can throw over your shoulder to carry your helmet AND some extra things. Neat bonus, but not tints.

Wear progressive glasses will the helmet allow for the frame?

Live in AZ strong sun which pop down shade is better smoke or irridum?
I have to wear a pair of wind-jammer eye protection under the visor because the shape of the little clear visor lets too much air come up under and your eyes will water like crazy. Your glasses will fit, but do they do much wind-blocking?

Sunglasses and speakers?

Will it accommodate my sunglasses and a pair of speakers?
Thanks in avance
You will have to wear sunglasses under the visor. There aren't any tinted visors that I've seen, and I don't think it would be easy to change it out, anyway. Plus, even though the overall design is very aerodynamic, the visor causes turbulence - just enough to make your eyes water is you don't wear something underneath.
Speakers? I don't know. I wear earbuds, and there is room for me to reach in there if I need to adjust things. I've never had much luck with helmet speakers.

Until what speed is this helmet designed for?

Can I ride with it at 60-80 mph comfortably?
Thanks in advance
Absolutely. It's pretty quiet at speed, because it is pretty smooth all over. But it is a BIG shell, and there aren't any vents, that I can see. The visor doesn't block the wind much. I have to wear some good wind-blockers underneath.
