I'm getting on really well with the Caberg Justissimo GT.

You get the odd whistling noise and the Caberg anti fog isn't the best but going to get a fog city insert for it.

Very happy with it

Now I just have to cancel the Shoei visor and pinlock that I order from Racevisors yesterday :(
Glad you got one that fitted you. Annoyingly when I went to buy one they didn't have my size.

One thing to beware of though in these outlet stores is just how old the stuff might be. When they didn't have my size Schuberth I was looking at some Arais they had on display and noted the "born on" date which is stamped on the chin strap said 1999! A ten year old lid? No thanks.

How mcuh did they want for that?! In fairness though, if it's been stored properly I don't think that would detriment it's safety. Mine was made 05/06 ish I think but as such was £120 off the RRP.

Sorry can't remember the price, but as it would be replacing an Arai which was made in 04 it just didn't seem right!!!! True if they've been stored well the aging process would be reduced but I'd still not trust something that may have been kicked about a warehouse for quite sometime.

That'd be exactly my concern. I'm really funny about lids though

I've had Caberg Trip for a couple of months now. It's fine, so far. I removed the chin curtain thing as it seemed to intefere with the anti-fog when raining. The padding is still in place and it doesn't leak, unlike other reviews I've read. The sun visor is a god send. It can be a bit noisy as there isn't much padding around the ears, but on a long journey ear plugs would help. Most of all it's very comfortable, and looks the business.

My N103 has the little tag that means it's certified as both.

Now I stopped smoking I cannot see me ever wanting to buy a flip front lid again.
