I have recently read many reports about Schuberth's new C2. Users say it is polar to the previous version regarding noise reduction. I am very attracted to the operable sun visor system. I also understand it has a new and improved venting system that actually works. Users say the vent system throws enough air to actually move your hair. I dont know if there are many retailers around to try them. With something as personal as a helmet, I hesitate in buying without trying. Good luck.
