Caberg Trip

Anyone got one of these?
I was thinking of getting one as they have the flip down sun visor, which I think will be handy for the low sun at this time of year.

I haven't seen that one but I'm thinking of replacing my Roof Boxer with a Caberg Justissimo purely because of the flip front and sun visor.
Any input regarding either would be nice.

There is another thread running on the Justissimo.

I have just ordered on, so will be able to give some feedback soon.

Opinion seems divided - some say fantastic, some say rubbish.

From what I can sift out, some visors leak water in from the top, some find them noisy, some say that they are not up to the Arai/Shoei standard and that the lining material is 'rough'. Others say 'best flip front' helmet. All 'flip front' helmets weigh more than conventional helmets.

They seem to be marketed by FM Helmets - I had an FM Helmet years back and it was fine, not up to Arai/Shoei standards, put not the same price!

I too am going for one because of the internal sun visor.

I have a Justissimo - prefer it day to use than my Arai RX7. Comfy, quiet and fairly easy to fit the Autocom speakers in. They also do it in matt silver which matches my very fast Adventure

I have the Caberg Justissimo, no problems with water leaks, as for noise I use ear plugs if am going to be doing motorway driving anyway.
The only fault I have found is that the visor mists up a bit in winter, just cracking it open cures it, suppose I need to put some anti mist stuff on really.

I feel that for the price (mine was £129.00 on special last year), they are a good helmet. Wouldn't have been without it in Germany this year, could not have ridden withhout flip up front
Could possibly seem heavy if you are used to a lighter type of helmet.

Compares well with my AGV for noise.

I have to agree with above comments.
my Justissimo has been perfect on G/S and Yammy.
not too noisy and took a while to bed in, but the flip down visor is perfect

Got a justissimo - It had problems with waterleaks down the visor - they provided a new seal but the problem seems to be from water getting into the flip face mechanism then appearing behind the visor. I suspect this is more of a problem on a bike with a fairing which gives rise to odd wind eddies. I've had misting problems as well and as soon as you raise the visor a bit to clear it, water pours in rendering it useless. A pity as apart from that its a good lid and the sun visor is ace. A summer helmet methinks

I got me a Caberg Trip at the show last week and (so far) I'm well chuffed with it

It ain't too heavy, it hasn't leaked and the noise is different, but no worse, than my old Shoei.

The flip front is really handy. It's the first time I've ever worn one and once I got used to it I hardly take the lid off at all for Petrol Stations or for stopping for a break.

The sun visor is really useful and easy to operate. The low sun is not really much of a problem at all now. But that might have something to do with the fact that its dark on the way to work and on the way back now and just just started happening after I'd bought it.....spooky
But really, it does the job well and the early and late sun is not the problem it used to be.

It seems pretty well made, I don't know how long it'll last, but for less that a ton it'll do for me

Cheers

The Caberg Trips are good helmets for their price. They also have buckets of room for our headsets to be fitted. I know I fitted plenty over the NEC bike show

That just about does it then, which ever ones feels the most comfortable I'll be going for it. Hope it's helped you to Demon it was your thread afterall
Thanx.
