Re: Caberg Trip
I had one of these, and short-term they're quite good helmets. Unfortunately, the build-quality on them is horrific.
The padding inside will go flat within 2-3 months of daily wear, meaning that a helmet that was nice a snug initially ends up very loose and wobbly. Worse than this is the retaining mechanism for the visor - it's made up of a piece of plastic with a plastic pin sticking out on the inside, with the visor having several dimples down the side that the pin fits into to hold it open at various points. Over a few months the gaps between the dimples in the visor wear away so that it just flops open and closed (bad when doing lifesavers at above 50mph and visor lifts). After replacing the visor a few times the pin itself wears away meaning that even if the visor is replaced for a new one, the pin isn't long enough to seat securely in the dimples.
