Black with gold dragons, how could I refuse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with this lids biggest selling point&#8230; it&#8217;s supposed to be the quietest lid on the market, and when you put it on in the store you&#8217;re immediately grabbed by how little noise there is, the second thing that surprise me was how &#8216;lush&#8217; the inside feels next to your skin. It&#8217;s the difference from going from a \u00a31.50 disposable razor to the very latest Gillette Fusion, it&#8217;s like walking off hard stone into deep pile stately home luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second thing which surprises you is the internal sun visor, Schuberth where the first to introduce this, and in my opinion still implement it in the best way. A quick flick of the slider on your left hand side and it&#8217;s down, again a quick flip and it&#8217;s up &#8211; easy to do at 5mph and 130mph (so I&#8217;m told ;-)). If it was left up to me I would have made the internal visor a few shades darker, but to be frank I&#8217;ve not come across sun strong enough to make me want to put extra sun glasses on &#8211; not even that low autumn glowing red ball that normally makes me pull over and grab the glasses&#8230; and there-in lies it&#8217;s benefit &#8211; no pulling over when you get surprised by the sun, or if the sun suddenly goes away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The S1 is also one of the safest lids on the market, it&#8217;s what Schubert call S.T.R.O.N.G<em>.S<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>S. &#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp; RIM<br>T.&nbsp;\u2014 THIN-WALL<br>R.&nbsp;\u2014 REINFORCED<br>O.&nbsp;\u2014 OPTIMIZED<br>N.&nbsp;\u2014 NON-WOVEN<br>G.&nbsp;\u2014 GRP<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has A.R.O.S<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thelondonbiker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/10\/Schuberth-SR1-aros-system.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thelondonbiker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/10\/Schuberth-SR1-aros-system.jpg?resize=264%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1374\" title=\"A.R.O.S\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thelondonbiker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/10\/Schuberth-SR1-aros-system.jpg?resize=264%2C300&amp;ssl=1 264w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thelondonbiker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/10\/Schuberth-SR1-aros-system.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A.R.O.S. &#8211;<br>Anti-Roll-off-System<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which will stop the helmet being pulled off your head in the case of an accident. A rather clever idea and one that inspires confidence in the though process behind this lid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, but certainly not least important, this lid is really warm, it was a little too warm over the summer, but now the weather is closing in I&#8217;m rather glad of it&#8230; it&#8217;s like being wrapped in a warm blanked&#8230; no cold air sneaks in past the neck huger and I don&#8217;t have to put up with running eyes that my old lid used to cause as cold air streamed past my neck and hit my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only failing with this lid has been the outer visor &#8211; it&#8217;s not very fog resistant &#8211; most mornings I have to open it a crack to let in a little bit of air &#8211; most of the time I can just open the front vent &#8211; but if you&#8217;re sat in traffic &#8211; forget it &#8211; you&#8217;ll need to open it. Not the end of the world, and a very small failing for what is, overall, a very comfortable, very warm, very safe helmet. I can&#8217;t recommend it enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelondonbiker.com\/blog\/reviews\/\"><strong><em>If you enjoy this review &#8211; I&#8217;ve written a few others you may like.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I apparently own the best helmet money can buy, it&#8217;s nice to know that my \u00a3350 has gone some-way to giving me the quietest, safest lid on the market.
