A C3 that fits around my head means my chin is pushed against the front of the flip when closed, and one that fits my chin rattles on me noggin.
An thats pretty much the story across the board with all flip fronts. I'm no Jimmy Hill (TD will confirm that), but just can't get one that I'm confortable with, so have resided my self to the fact that I won't be getting one.
I've not tried the BMW System lids or the new Caberg's (Konda / Sintissi), so will give them a go before I give up.
Personally, if you're going to get a lid you've not had previous experience of TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.
Most likely get it cheaper on the net, but a good bike shop will probably match, or at least get close to a web price if they want the business. If they don't you know you can get it cheaper once you're happy with fit.

I bought a Konda too. I haven't had any problems with the anti-fog coating and it's the first helmet I've had which doesn't fog up when it's cold. In general, the build quality is excellent. It's draughty though.

btw, HJC do a Bluetooth ready version with nice little recesses for the earpieces, it would be nice if all the helmet manufacturers settle on a standard mounting for Bluetooth devices.....

I had a ride using the Caberg Justissimo and I was impressed. A bit creakier putting it on and taking off but fine once it's in place.

I've got one and I much prefer it to the last flippy lid I had (Schuberth C2). Very comfy and more chin room compared to a lot of flippy lids. Fairly quiet, but not as quiet as my Shark full face, but I wear ear plugs anyway, so it doesn't matter too much. For the price, hard to beat. It doesn't steam up either (the Shark is poor on that score).

To me, the biggest 'name' ripoff I know

Nice one, I've just got back from Germany and I've got to say the HJC IS MAX is a great helmet, as comfy as my Arai and perfect for touring.
I bought mine off eBay for £25!!! (It was unused btw )
