Can't help you with any experience but, I like what I saw and read.

Once I get the winnings from my lottery ticket, I'll get one and let you know.   cooldude

Tony,

  I have been wearing a Shark Evoline helmet for several years.  They are good helmets and feature the full to 3/4 helmet conversion and is very comfortable.  Pricing is about the same.

I found that website...great reviews. I am trying to avoid having to win the lottery to get the Schuberth C3 Pro North America...the Schuberth COncept helmet has been great and I really want the C3 Pro...but they are expensive

I like my c3 pro. There is good, and there is cheap, but good and cheap, are a rare combonation.  cooldude

Best quote of truth ever.

I wanted a Roof myself but I don't have the head shape for them.  I have always spent more and gotten great helmets , Arai, Shoei and even when I bought my first HJC I bought from the top AC line.  It's your head, and your comfort, and that head is locked into that helmet for hours on end, so IMHO spending more to get the quality you really want is worth it.

I'm in the same boat. I have an older Concept that has seen better days, and would love to get a C3 Pro. I was shocked at the price a couple of years ago when I first started looking, but there are several others that are up in that same rarified air. I'll probably make that jump this year.

Odd you posted this whereas I was just looking into this helmet yesterday. Got to a review that said it leaked in the rain, and I bailed on any further investigation.

Now looking into a Shark.
