Default Caberg 104 V2 Graphic

Well I've got my new lid...


Looks nice and the integrated dark visor is handy, though I have noticed that it does fog up a bit. Seems to get allot of air flowing though it even when all the vents are shut though that might be because of the anti-fog system for the main 'clear' visor. I have noticed a bit on noise even with my plugs in, but I will see what it like with out them on a short journey.
The other thing I have noticed compared to my old helemt is that the chin seems really close...

Not the world's greatest helmet, but the inner visor system, excellent styling, and the price, make it very good value for money. I certainly like my V2.

Yep I couldn't grumble for the price, as its my new 'Winter' helmet. Can't be worse then my 'J1 Plus', but do you find the front of the helmet sits very close to your chin?

For me it's fine, I think it really depends on the shape of your skull, hence always try a helmet on before you buy. Yours is a little more neanderthal, which might be the problem .

I know that Mr Toad found that the inner visor touched his nose, which again, hasn't been a problem for me.

It's certainly noisy though, with a huge windrush coming up underneath the front/chin area, and which is why I always tuck a Buff in around the front. The vents do absolutely nothing, doesn't matter which way you switch them.

So from this I have found that I have a huge neanderthal like skull and my nose is like Mr Toads as it sometimes touches the inner visor (depends on how I sit it really).

Cheers.

My wife and I have these, they are good but the oringinal internal visor isnt dark enough, thinking of getting the dark black. I think they are about £25.

I'm not sure it's any darker, I think it's just a replacement (but happy to be proved wrong). For me, the tint is just right, strangely allowing it to be used at night in a brightly lit urban environment, which if peeps wonder why I should wish to (and why I almost permanently use the inner visor) is simply that I have very sensitive eyes.

Along country lanes, however, it's best not to .

I tried it without the earplugs in... Oh my god! I didn't think it could be as noisy as my old J1, but I was wrong.

I have the same helmet and also find it very noisy. I got a wind deflector with the helmet which makes a small difference to the airflow under your chin but a buff seems to do the trick a lot better.
