Received my C5 from the Netherlands last night. First impression, this thing is nice! The interior material feels nicer than my Arai. All the features work as described. I didn't order the Sena SC2 but after seeing how it integrates into the helmet I'm almost regretting that decision. I just recently changed to a Packtalk Bold so I passed on the Sena built in.
One big disappointment, it didn't come with the custom fitting pads described in the ads. I've sent Champion an email, but rereading some of the info I'm not sure I interpreted it correctly. Or they changed it. It may not matter, fit is really close out of the box. I have a long oval head, the only helmet I have found that works all day is the Arai Signet series. Wore the C5 around the house, freaked the cat out and got called a Martian by the gf, only the slightest pressure on my forehead after 45 minutes or so. I suspect it will be good after break in. Might need slightly larger cheek pads, we'll see.
I'll report back on Champion's response.
