What a great helmet the design is amazing it came pre wired for communication devices' and it's so comfortable and lightweight the visor seals so well there's plenty of air vents to keep you cool. In my honest opinion the best helmet I've ever owned
This may not be the least expensive helmet on the market, far from it but you get the comfort and quality you expect for your money.
You also get top notch sound. with harmon/kardon speakers and a microphone built in you simply have to add their mesh coms system by Sena and you have a concert hall on your head, with superb, deep sound.
I normally take an XL or XXL helmet size. In this case I bought an XL. It's so comfortable. Okay so, as usual, the cheek pads arbitrarily tight but I expect them to mould to my huge head and be a perfect fit pretty quickly.
I love the mat finish of my version, which keeps the price down a bit too. There are some really cool versions though.
I can highly recommend this helmet. Of all the helmets I have this is by far the most comfortable and it meets the new safety standards.
Excellent helmet, quiet but I always use ear plugs and exceptionally clear and wide visor. Great ventilation. Now riding with visor fully down when I used to ride with visor cracked all the time.
Very impressed with the fit and finish of this helmet. Not as quiet as they claimed but just as quiet as my Shoei. The drop down visor is a breeze once you get used to feeling where it is.
The Schuberth S3 - Daytona Red is awesome, looks and feels perfect, was delivered quickly and had to go a size down which was sorted by sports bike shop quickly and efficiently. Only reason for 4* was because despite the built in speaker/microphone I'm spending another $265.00+ on top of this for the module to make it all work so this is really a $930.00+ helmet (come on Schuberth selling partially fitted but without the module seems like half a job) but I'm sure once it arrives and fitted to the helmet it'll be a 5*
Technical spec is spot on. The interior is snug and feels great. Sound reduction fantastic. Visor removal so easy and a sun visor that is easy to locate and drops smoothly. Colours fantastic. I took the plunge and brought Comms kit to and it's amazing. I can hear and it's easy to operate
As you'd hope for a premium helmet, the S3 meets expectations. The chin straps are positioned more forward than usual for comfort when wearing, but this does mean they don't help give clearance to your ears when putting the helmet on. No buffeting at all no matter which way you face. Still some noise, but not the high-pitched wind noise of other helmets. Accommodates glasses nicely. Brilliant service as usual from Sportsbikeshop, and gave a price-match.

Schuberth motorcycle helmets are, and always have been, developed and manufactured using a quality oriented approach. Since the late 1970's, Schuberth have specialised exclusively in the production of head protection technology, cementing their position today as THE motorcycle helmet specialist. As well as motorbike helmets, Schuberth also design and manufacture helmets for the police, fire service, military and other areas of motorsport, most famously for use in Formula 1. The fact that Michael Schumacher has chosen to work with the brand for so long speaks volumes about its pedigree, and the company's commitment to the development of helmet technology. This commitment is made further apparent by the fact that Schuberth are the only bike helmet manufacturer in the world with their own acoustic and wind tunnels. Via their base in Magdeburg, Schuberth are, quite rightly, proud to promote their "made in Germany" message and now export motorbike helmets to more than 50 different countries throughout the world.
