clothing and helmet » X-Lite X-1004 Carbon

I'm interested to hear if anyone has tried one of these yet:

I'm wondering whether it should go to the top of my shortlist for my next helmet, next to the System 7 and the Neotec 2.

I've no experience of X-Lite helmets, but I know they're made by Nolan, which I do have experience of. I find my Nolan N100-5 to be brilliant in every aspect, so I'm sure that carbon fibre X-Lite will be superb.

that looks really interesting I have the schubsrth c3 pro which is good in many way but sits down low over my forehead and haven't found a foam to put in the top of it that stops this well. Thinking of waiting on the c4 pro carbon or even a C5 but they may have the same problems.

10 years ago had a nolan that just whistled all the time so went off them, however this helmet could be good, cannot find a weight even on xlite website. Now to find a place to try one on, bet there is nothing in Cumbria

You’ve got to try it.

Long time ago I listed after a particular helmet, but when I eventually tried it on it didn’t fit me at all. I was very disappointed. And learned a lesson.

I used to think my head was “Arai shaped” because I loved a Quantum, followed by an RX7, but next time round I found that the latest generation of Arai was not comfortable.

My C3 Pro is extremely comfortable and convenient so I forgive it’s poor ventilation and tendency to steam up in heavy rain.

My S2 Sport is also extremely comfortable, but hasn’t seen much rain. Or heat.
