f. The helmeT
Ventilation system 3 – head ventilation
There is a large air inlet cowl with
a three-stage adjustable ventilation
system on the top of the helmet shell for
ventilating the surface of your head. Air
entering the helmet via this inlet cowl is
directed via channels to the top of the
head. A new and innovative rain conduit
system prevents water from penetrating
into the helmet, even in heavy rain.
Inside the helmet, the head padding
system enables direct contact between
incoming air and the surface of the head,
thus making for quicker removal of heat
within the helmet. The ventilation is
adjusted by means of a slide on the air inlet cowl that is easy to
operate even when wearing gloves. Moving the slide backwards until
the first lock-in stage produces partial ventilation, moving it further
back opens up the air inlet to the full extent.
Summer and winter adjustment
The ventilation of the C3 can also be
®
adjusted to suit the seasons, weather
conditions or your personal preferences.
While it is preferable to have the air
current flow directly onto and cool your
head in summer, in autumn/winter you
can reduce the volume of or divert the
often very cold incoming air by covering
the ventilation channels by means of the
head pad. To do so, raise the middle
bar of the head pad slightly and fold out
the fabric flap located behind the front
section of the head pad.

Ventilation device 4 – interior air
extraction
The C3 is equipped with a constant air
®
extraction system. Air inside the helmet
or flowing in through the head vent is
directed via the air channels in the inner
shell to the back of the helmet. The
reduced pressure that prevails in
the neck area ensures that the air is
constantly sucked out through the
special netting material fitted in the
neck pad, thus guaranteeing a pleasant
climate inside the helmet.
Ventilation device 5 – minimum level
of fresh air
The special shaping of the chin vent's
upper zone provides the helmet with a
guaranteed minimum ventilation function
that ensures a constant supply of fresh
air. The air entering by these means is
regulated so that the rider barely notices
it, but so that it guarantees an effective
supply of fresh air from a speed as low as 20 mph (provided
the helmet is fully in the air flow when travelling). This function
counteracts any build-up of misting on the visor plate and any
excessive concentration of C0 , even when the helmet is fully closed.

Warning:
To ensure that the ventilation system can work properly the
helmet must be fully in the airflow while traveling. If the helmet
is not in an airstream when travelling (i.e. behind motorcycle
fairing) or if you ride at lower speeds, the ventilation system
may be unable to function adequately, possibly leading to
increased concentration of moisture and/or C0 in the helmet.
