I just ordered a C3 in Hi-Viz yellow from Revzilla.
It's supposed to do that: another case of safety police keeping you safe , If you want to keep the shield up at speed just remove it completely. It only takes seconds ........ otherwise Duct Tape (NASCAR approved).I have the C3 but not the pro. The shield keeps coming down when I have it all the way up and I get above 40mph. Any ideas on how to keep the shield open on these models?
I have both the Pro and Old C3; the Pro does stay up a little longer, maybe 60 mph but it still slams shut at speed (and I hate it when it does). My reply may have been a little sarcastic but on hot days I really do just remove the shield completely.I read somewhere that this issue was addressed on the new C3 Pro and the shield stays up at highway speeds.
My issue with my Nolan was noise; the Schuberth is quieter with the face shield off than the Nolan was buttoned up. Like seats, everyone's preference is different, I've found nothing works for me like a Schuberth, others may hate it.Thats too bad I never had that issue with my Nolan N104.
That's because you're riding an old, slow, bike and live in an imaginary, faraway place !haven't had the C3 Pro visor close on me yet, ......
I have to admit, the bike is old ('93) and from your point of view I do live in a faraway place (the neverlands), but she ain't slow (cruising at 120mph is nothing) ;-)That's because you're riding an old, slow, bike and live in an imaginary, faraway place !
Even faster cruising at 193km/h :beer3:!I have to admit, the bike is old ('93) and from your point of view I do live in a faraway place (the neverlands), but she ain't slow (cruising at 120mph is nothing) ;-)
I'm going to give this suggestion a try as it sounds reasonable. At this point anything would be an improvement to the shield slamming shut.As Tom said, the C3 Pro shield is designed to close at speed. I am told that if you stick two of those furniture bumper pads under the shield it will increase the resistance and the shield will stay open.
I use the Sena SMH10 speakers in my Shoei Multitec, and I wear foam ear plugs. With the Sena and my iPhone turned all the way up, I can hear intercom, music and phone calls just fine, although sometimes I turn it down for some songs. Outside of a helmet, I believe I have pretty average hearing. Another point of reference... my brother has a new Shoei Neotec (modular). He says it's so quiet that he's had to turn his Sena down, compared to the same Sena in his old Bilt modular helmet.My real question is if anyone has experience with helmet mounted speakers. I've always worn ear plugs for commuting and in-ear buds for listening to music or books while touring. With the Schubert SRC system, I'd be mortgaging my child for a wireless audio system, but will I be able to hear helmet speakers through my earplugs?
Thanks for this reference. The last time I tried helmet mounted speakers, I couldn't hear a thing at highway speed. I'm guessing they've improved in the last decade!I use the Sena SMH10 speakers in my Shoei Multitec, and I wear foam ear plugs.

I don't own a Schuberth (Neotec here) but I do ride with foam earplugs and a Sena SMH10R system. I find that the music volume is fine at local, in-town speeds and a little low at highway speeds but I can still definitely hear it. Personally, I would rate the quality of the sound (depending on the original recording of the song) through the Sena system at a 7.My real question is if anyone has experience with helmet mounted speakers.
