I have a Caberg Trip that I use most of the time (but yes its a little noisy. I do have the Nolan N42 (open face) as well for when its hot and I'm around town. Who I do like about open face its the much better viewing angles.

Absolutely!!! In my big accident, I did fall face first - fortunately whilst wearing a full face Arai. I don't want to think of the consequences if I'd been wearing an open face helmet.

+1, suits me. Don't let the noise bother me - think I'm going deaf anyway!
Pardon? :)

I currently have the Caberg Konda, very similar to the Justissimo. This is my 2nd Caberg and I find them really good and robust. Maybe slightly noisier than a non-flip front but not by much. Easy to clean, new visors available and of course they come with the intenal dark visor which flips down at the touch of a lever which is great on those sunny evenings when riding into the sunset to live happily ever after (Mr Grump accepted of course :lol: ).
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'! :lol:

I hadn't rode a single mile on a bike before making my mind up.
I had to hold somebodies face together until the ambulance arrived after a fairly low speed tumble.

Clocking up serious road miles didn't qualify that guy to say anything, not that he could speak if he'd wanted to.
