Default Re: *Warning* Flip front Helmet thread.

Hi, I now use a Schubert C2 which is excellent, comfortable/quiet although a little heavier than some, there are some good deals on C2s as it has been superceded. I also have a Takachi which sits low and resticts neck movement but good value for money also a cheap Lazer for "guest" use but has pinlock as standard.
As a spectacle four eyed wearer flip fronts are a pre-requisite unless wearing contact lenses.

I have the Caberg Jutissimo too. No complaints from me. Doesn't fog up much and is comfortable. Bit heavier than others though. Also got a Caberg V2, but As its my only two helmets cant comment about others.

Only because there are certain topics that people will avoid ...

When I went to get my current lid, Shoei Multitec, I actually went specifically for the Caberg Jutissimo, but the the Multitec was lighter and much more comfortable. At the time (August 200 you could pick up a Multitec for £260 online, but the prices have shot up since.

But the multitec doesn't have a sun visor, which is the biggest bonus with flip fronts for me.

I had a Caberg J1 when they first came out and it was TERRIBLE bits fell off it and it was really heavy, since then I went full face my Arai gave me headaches, the OGK's I had were good but the AGV TiTech Evo I have now is brilliant.

I bought a Caberg Justissimo GT off a very nice fella on here

; )

And it's great, it's plays a great note at speed but nothing I can't deal with, infact I don't 'deal' with it, I just notice it every now and then. The only problem I have with it is that the anti-fog on the caberg is a bit poo so thinking of getting a fog city insert for it

I would like to query whether this is tested as an open or full face lid?

ECE 22.05 has 2 sub types -P (protective chin bar) and -NP (No protective chin bar).

I wouldn't be happy doing most of my riding in an open face lid, so I'd want to be certain that any flip-face lid I bought had been tested as a full face helmet.

Dunno, but the Jutissimo scores better than the multitec in the SHARP ratings.

I've read the internal visor system mists up, but as I don't have a jutissimo, I can't confirm that.
