Thumbs up Schuberth J1

Back in the spring I purchased a Schuberth J1 helmet, I liked the idea of an open helmet for the summer with some protection afforded by the chin guard.

I no some will tut at the loose of protection afforded compared to a full face but life full of compromises!

The additional visibility is a revelation after my last two C1 flips its quiet, light and ventilation is amazing.

I’ve done several long rides in it now 400-500 hundred-mile days it’s so comfortable and cool to wear only got to around 90C but the helmet is matt black!

Just started commuting into London again (bugger) and the added spiracle vision is giving me a definite edge filtering through the traffic and so far the helmet is not feeling to cold. I’ve been wearing a thick buff round by neck and a thin one as a facemask.
I had intended to use the C1 again for the winter put so far I have not felt the need but temps have not really been below 0C yet.
Also of note has been the lack of misting which is normally a plague for me at this time of year.
