Re: [ST] Anyone try these two helmets yet?



I have the Caberg, and I didn't like it.  It didn't fit well for me.  It
gave me pains around the ears, and because of my head shape, it didn't sit
low enough for the visor to come down as far as I would have liked it.  It
was also very loud, and without earplugs, it would leave my ears ringing
after an hour ride

On the positive side, it was easy to open, once you learned how to grab the
button right, and the visor was really cool.  No problems clearing my
glasses.

Really, my dislike was mainly that it didn't fit my head, even with an XL.
I could deal with the noise given it was a flip-up and I understand that is
a common trait. I had to go with a helmet for a longer more oval head.

(I'll sell it to you!  Low useage) <grin>

PS.  The State College Shop has a new White Tiger.  Very Sharp!
