It's about time I got a new helmet - I have looked around and one has floated to the top of my wish list: Caberg Drift Evo Carbon. It ticks all my boxes but I have only ever had AGV and Shoei lids before.

Any experience of this particular helmet, or Caberg ones in general? Unfortunately my head measures up as right between the M and L sizes; I am hoping to get to a shop to try them one and see how they size up.

I had one in use daily for 3 years, everything worked fine then eventually rain came in the inside of the visor in heavy downpours.

Caberg Vox, with internal sun visor and ratchet strap. Highly rated sharp test, came with pinlock, 89 quid.
It lives on, donated to a mate. He loves it.

Been using a Caberg Duke for a couple of years. Quite noisy (though as a system helmet that is hardly surprising) and sun visor could stand to be a bit darker. Those are the only complaints, I'll probably get a duke 2 when this one is done, in the hope they fixed the sun visor issue.

Internal visors are ok in summer, but commuting at 5 degrees, low sun, they steam up. Without the sun visor down it didn't steam up once due to pinlock.

Have had 3 or 4 over the last 10 years.

Lovely bit of kit. Had a nasty spill around 7 years ago on one, it came up trumps that time.....

Will be my first point of call when I need a new one.
