Schuberth E1 helmet
I want to share my experience with the new E1.
Positives:
- quiet and comfortable.
Negatives:
- under continuous light rain, water does collect on the visor from the vents, at speeds above 80kph.
- after 3 weeks of use, the adjustment mechanism for the cap packed up and it was no longer possible to do anything with this bit...
- One week later, the visor mechanism also died. The visor was no longer holding in place at any speed over 50kph and closing from itself.
- 2 days later, a pin holding the SRC collar broke, making the helmet basically useless.
Schuberth support:
I gave the dealer the helmet back for fixing. It took 4 weeks to get the helmet back. The cap mechanism and visor mechanism were changed, but they forgot to fix the SRC collar. So, back out again to Schuberth... I assume it will be another 4 weeks?
I was prossibly unlucky, but overall it was a bitterly disappointing experience with Schuberth. I would never buy a helmet from them again.
I don't find it good value for the very high cost. And I am still not able to use my hemet.
