If you curious why this helmet costs so much, you'll discover the answer the first time to disassemble it for cleaning. I recently took mind apart for cleaning and installation of the SMH 10 headset. It took me watching the video on youtube and about an hour to dissemble and clean the parts. After letting them dry for a few days (its always good to have spare helmets) I set upon the task of reassembly. First step is make the special tool they show you in the video out of a spare coat hanger. Then the headliner - that goes in easy. The cheek pads are the tough items given the anti-roll strap system Shuberth uses. But patients and enough beer will usually result in success. The neck roll was equally tough to install given the wires from the SMH 10. I think it took an hour total to reassemble. Its nice to know I didn't miss my calling building helmets at the Schuberth factory.
Lastly, while the pin lock system works great at preventing fogging, riding a lot of gravel roads behind other riders will result in dust getting between the pin lock lens and the face shield. To clean that out, you'll need to remove the pin lock from the shield and wash and dry them both.
So its a great helmet, just be prepared to spend some time when its cleaning time.

Easy to use and works well with the iPhone 4, but I had a hard time hearing the music at highway speeds. I mounted this on my Shoei Hornet helmet. At slower speeds, I could hear clearly. It could just be me, I do not have great hearing.

Is the insulated liner removable?

It doesn't state that the insulated line is removable. It normally is, but I want to know for sure before I pull the trigger on these for my fiancé. We do a lot of 3 season riding and will rarely need the warmth of a quilted liner in pants.

When are the going to put these on clearance?

I keep waiting for RevZilla to get desperate enough for more warehouse space to knock some cash off this jacket's price. I want one, but I might just wait till next spring, unless they drop the price to get me off the fence. Of course, by the time they do, the color I want or the size I need will be gone.

Hi, total newb here and getting a spyder in the next 2 weeks.

I am interested in the C3 helmet for safety reasons, comfort and communications. I have enjoyed your videos, very informative for a newb. My question is on the communications system, and is it compatible with the spyder or does it not matter what bike your on?? Thanks////will be looking at lots of things including clothing.....no shorts and short sleeve shirts while riding? Are you just a sweaty mess everytime you ride in the heat? Thanks
Its actually cooler feeling to ride with a mesh jacket than just short sleeve shirt. The mesh jacket keeps the sun off you. I've found that mesh riding pants are also cooler than jeans. Also the motorcycle specific clothing does a FAR better job keeping the skin on your body than jeans and t-shirts in the event of a wreck.

what is the difference between this and the Sena Smh-10 other than teh blue tooh difference?

It also appears that the wires are not part of the base as on the SMH10, but instead plug into the unit. Perhaps the unit doesn't detach from the helmet as on the SMH10.

I have more questions about this unit (like is it compatible with an SMH10?). Hopefully, Revzilla will be producing an video about this product. Their vids really answer these questions well.

will the boom mic (or regular mic) work if i use earbuds with a built in mic or will the earbuds mic supercede the sena microphone?

You have an iPhone? If you have ear buds plugged in your iPhone, all music and calls will be played through the ear buds and that microphone. There is no way that I know of playing music through one output and taking calls on another without physically changing the source on the phone. You don't really need to do that. The phone and music features work well on this unit and when I have received a call, they didn't know I was riding until I told them. I was moving at about 55 mph at that time.
