Modular helmets

[fireblake]

Hi all,
I'm looking at getting a modular/flip helmet and was wondering what are your thoughts on designs, weights, ease of use with the flip front, ease of getting the visor off?
I'd prefer one with an internal sun visor and with pin lock on the main visor?


Cheers for any opinions?

Monday to Friday I use one of these for my commute. Never had any probs with it. It's a tad heavier than your usual Arai and the shell size is a bit larger so it is a neck braker if you wanna cover lots of miles very quickly.

Had a few flips including the Justissimo and J1... For price the Cabergs are good if your on a sub £200 budget..
Recently bought the Caberg Duke and found it to be a lot quieter than the rest of the range.. Think its down to the internal visor adjuster being on the top of the lid rather than the side. Definately a lot less wind noise..
It also has a lock for locking the front in the up postion..
I did find i had to go down a size on this one but fits great.. Just added a scala rider blootooth system to it too so takes speakers easy..

I fancy the Shoei Multitec but doesn't have the sun visor.the Caberg range looks good too, a shame about wind noise, this is the only thing you can't find out trying it on in the shop?

the visibility you get from flip up helmets is great but i'd be too worried about faceplanting to wear one all the time

I've had 2 Cabergs, a J1 and a Trip. The J1 was ok but heavy, the Trip was noisy, steamed up badly and let in water above the visor.


When the doc told me I had tinitus and the likely cause was biking I decided to invest in a Schuberth C3 and it was a revelation. Very quiet, well made and the pinlock is excellent, but as snapper mentioned it is pricey. Got mine new for £350 though.
