So have now had a chance to ride some time with my new Schubert S2 and my impression is good. It's a huge improvement over my old HJC Raptor in all areas.
It's pretty light, the noise reduction is really really good and the ventilation system works (nothing fancy here - it just works). Visor offers good visibility and the included fog resistant lens works wonders without detracting from the view (much).
Sun visor is located on the left hand chin and is easy to find and operate and is nice and big.
I had some trouble getting the chin strap to the right length and early on it rode too far down on my throat. However it's fine now and the click latch system is easy to operate with gloves.
The chin flap works well and really seals you in there, however I've noticed the velcro it uses to attach scratching my forehead when putting on the helmet. Minor annoyance and I don't know if it's in there wrong or it's just my head shape.
On the subject of head shape: I'm a fairly standard head (tending towards slightly eggy) and fit most helmets - and I find this one supercomfy. I prbly wouldn't recommend it for ppl with very round heads - but try it out.
The visor's only detracting factor is that it operates easily between fully open and fully closed aside from the last click to lock it down. This click needs a finger on each tab on the visor and one (thumb) on the chin to click it. Nothing too bad but still.
Also I like that it's ready for Schubert's own comms system although I haven't tried it out. Given how quiet the helmet is I believe it would work really well. As a matter of fact I mostly ride with the visor slightly up because otherwise I feel a little shut out from the world.
So in all: Very very nice product, but a few minor issues that takes it away from full marks.
