Actually the Caberg Trip was one of the 1st lids to be tested as both open and closed.

Closed its as good as any other closed faced lid for chin protection.

My only issue is with the fit.

I had the same Issues with the Caberg that Liz had. It went from being an OK fit to a terrible fit very quickly. It got so bad that I could hold the chin bar and she could turn her head right round inside it. I replaced it with a Shoei and thats lasted 3 years and still fits as good as it did when we bought it...

Are you wanting a new lid because your other ones had it, or just cos you fancy a change, a stylish one at that

when Sam & I go out for a ride together we both have these, as they hold the bluetooth comms.


I much prefer to wear my Arai.... TBH

So I can't hear her....

I had one of those caberg trips, it was cheap and the only thing I could get at the time and I had to be in wales... after I foolishly broke my caberg V2 in half. Very draughty and steams up worse than any other lid I've tried.

The XR1000 I replaced it with is worlds different... it's like a cuddle for my brain...
