Nearly ordered one of these for £79.99 but luckily tried it on first.

Found it to be fairly heavy and it didnt work with my glasses plus the sun visor when down cut my vision in half so I effectivly had a shaded horizon.

On the plus side it looked pretty well made so I guess if it fits then fair enough :scooter:

i've taken up wearing earplugs in my trip as its too noisey, plus they do mist up badly. its a good summer lid though i'd say.

I was thinking of the Caberg Trip too. I have a Schuberth C2 at the moment and I find the noise awful. Maybe I have an odd shaped head but I don't think so. And the mechanism for the internal visor seems to have buggered itself too. Most disappointing for a helmet that cost me £270 a year ago.:(

caberg trip
 

Hi there Howie. I wear a Caberg trip because it was the only helmet I could find that allowed me to wear glasses and did not feel as though the sides of the helmet were pressing the stays of my glasses into the side of my face. I have used it in thunder storms and torrential downpours and fog and mist.

It does mist up slightly in the rain but I find that if I leave the visor open a crack this mist disappears. It is noisy (wind noise) but only over 60. On the plus side it fits like a glove, it is affordable and the sun visor is brilliant. My only real gripe is the cost of replacement visors. (25 quid or 25% of the initial helmet cost!)

As has been noted it is like all equipment, very subjective, and what works for one may not work for another, this works for me.

I will be buying another Caberg trip when it is time for a replacement.

Hope this helps.

I had a Caberg many years ago, and thought it excellenent for the price, now have a much more expensive and quiter and lighter and doesn't mist up BMW helmet, but if you don't want to spend silly money the Caberg is good.
I fitted a fog-city that cured the misting for about £19 and its tints itself when in sunlight :thumbup1:
I would buy a Caberg again

btw a visor for the beamer helmet is £39 and takes about 4 weeks to get one !

Liking the modded Trip.
 

Having used my Caberg Trip for some time now I'm liking it more with a few tweeks.

My criticisms of it - poor ventilation, noise and tight fit infront of my chin have been sorted with the following solutions.

The noise was easy - earplugs. I'm converted now - I find I'm fresher after any long ride now by using earplugs.

The ventilation has been hugely improved by removing the inner lining from the flip-front. It is soft molded rubber and restricted airflow and space.
Now I have all the air I want and no fogging (to be fair I haven't had any rain since) but don't have the urge to raise the visor for fresh air now.

The extra space is a bonus as I use a Scala Q2 headset and the mike now fits a lot better. I have made a thin replacement for the removed liner (out of a plastic ice cream container lid) which still flows the air but deflects moisture.

I would suggest any other Trip owners with these issues to have a fiddle and see the improvements.
Now it's working as I wanted and as a result would recommend the Trip.

Caberg Trip Helmet
 

Hi,
I have (or had) a Caberg Trip flip front helmet, yesterday morning I had the missfortune to be hit by a pigeon. Travelling at just 40 mph (me not the little feathered bugger) the pigeon hit me on the chinguard section of the helmet and sheared straight through it, I'll leave the ensueing facail damage to you imagination but trust me its not pretty. A pigeon is not a particullarly big bird and we didn't collide at that great a speed, there seems to be a definate safety issue with the Caberg Trip, it is quiet comfortable and full of features but if you value your head I'm not sure this flip front helmet is the one to buy.
Hope this helps

Wonder if you had a dodgy one Damo... I had an "off" 2 years back when a taxi driver pulled out on me and I was wearing a trip. I got about 20 free air yards and landed sweetly straight on the face. I got a small amount of gravel come thru the top of the visor as I slid along the tarmac. When I came to rest, the helmet was pretty scored up but intact... And luckily so was my melon !! I was that impressed I bought another trip the next day ! :)

Rode with this helmet for over a year and half. From freezing conditions in Northern Pakistan to very hot dry deserts in Iran and even torrential downpours in SE Asia.

Overall? Extremely happy! It is an excellent fit for my head and although it is loud I ride with noise cancelling earphones which completely remove the noise problem. No problems with misting and the helmet did very well during the rainy season barely leaking at all.

This is a budget helmet though and you should expect what you pay for. Being cheap I was willing to modfy it a bit as well and have come up with a solution which makes me prefer riding with a helmet than riding without.

Dunno how well it would fare on safety tests now though.

Ive been using the Caberg trip now for over a year,i find mine very comfortable and the flip down sun visor has come in very usefull at times, but mine unfortunately is prone to misting in rain and cold weather and the visor clicks up too far on the first notch, not sure if there is a way round the misting problem using some after market product ?

Now replaced with the Konda, which is the Trip plus bluetooth, which I don't use. The trip gota 5 star SHARP safety rating and was just about the cheapest to do so and the only flip front.

I counter the noise with earplugs and don't bother with them unless I am going on faster roads out of town. The flip down sun visor is brilliant.

I have used in the freezing cold and hot days and always felt comfortable. I ride with the front top vent open all the time and have no issues regards fogging.

I really like my Caberg Justissimo flip front, as a spectacle wearer the inner sun visor is fantastic, and the helmet is very flexible, full face, open face, inner dark visor, if it werent so noisy it would be close to perfect. It has had four years use now and although feeling flimsy nothing has broken, IMO the inner visor positioning on the Trip (I got one for SWMBO) is not as good and the operating lever is not as convenient, earplugs an essential.

Caberg Trip v Shoei Multitec
 

I used a Caberg Trip for the last 2 years. Noise was the only issue - everything else was fine, apart from the inner visor lever/slider, which is on top of the helmet. It came loose and fell off. Unable to get a replacement. Bought a Shoei Multitec. What a waste of money. It was quieter than the Caberg at low speeds, but at 60+ a loud, deep noise would actually hurt my left ear. Unlike the Caberg Multitec, which was spacious around my ears, the Shoei Multitec is very snug and close-fitting, which I suspect is what makes it quieter at lower speeds. However, in the few days of fine weather that we had recently, it also made me sweat. I then discovered that unlike the Caberg, which has a complely removable lining, The Shoei's lining is fixed. You cannot remove it to wash. In Greece last summer my Caberg Trip helmet got very smelly, but I was able to wash it. Was I p****d off!!! Have just sold the Shoei. Had it about a month - lost £170!!! I am going to buy another Caberg.
