I have a caberg and a viper, both with inbuilt sun visors. The viper has bluetooth also for music/phone calls.

Caberg is heavier and more noisy than the viper but has better anti-fog capabilities.

Being honest... I wouldn't recommend either, but on a budget of £80, you'll be lucky to find anything else. I haven't looked around but a viper minus the bluetooth or perhaps non-chin up caberg would be your best bet. (Non-chin up lids are lighter and less noisy, atleast at your budget's level...)

My Viper is matt black and looks pretty good, I changed the speakers inside as they were crap, its fine for listening to music but sadly (and annoyingly) being able to receive phonecalls while moving is impossible.

That said, it was my mum who was calling so its very likely that the fault was at her end as she seems terminally unable to use a mobile phone.

Seem to be lots of bad reviews about the Viper Helmet. Mostly complaining about build quality and noise.

I've never tried it myself, so couldn't say.

Can't go wrong with the Caberg V2 for the money. I miss the inner visor on my new lid.

I'm sure you can pick them up fairly cheap these days.

Before you buy a Caberg for its Sun Visor, take one outside and wear it with the visor down and up. If the sun visor appears to magnify the view, then put it back on the shelf.

Alternatively, just buy a Schuberth in the first place.

Never noticed that with my caberg, in terms of them being shit; you get what you pay for and for £100 its decent. Don't know how much you spent on your schuberth but I believe they're pricey, the OP only wants to spend £80 or so.

Picking one up, putting it on your head then putting it back on the shelf is hardly a rigid testing criteria.

Viper build quality is no better or worse than the caberg. Only thing I would say, it takes a wee while to get used to the caberg lid, it can seem claustrophic to begin with due to the goggle shaped visor. It is comfy, but its also heavy. (This is the chin up model, don't know about the non-chin up...)

Personally, I wouldn't want to spend lots of money on a helmet. There are safety standards that all helmets must adhere to, as long as those are reached then I'm happy. Spending £500 on a helmet then worrying about scratching it or laying it down etc etc etc seems like to much hard work.

I never had a problem with my Caberg 'magnifying the view', it just kind of...stopped the sun glare.

I'd suggest not taking our word (clearly opinions on the same item can differ from person to person) and instead trying to visit a few different shops who stock the different brands, try them on, visor up, visor down, usual helmet fitting jiggles etc. You'll soon see if one definitely isn't suitable for you.

If online prices are way cheaper, you could then go buy online, but I'd tend to buy in the shop if possible (if the shop has been helpful in letting you try lots on). Less chance of postal damage and helps keep the shops going.
