I've been using a Caberg Trip for the last 12 months.
It was a very tight fit to start with, and I kept going back to my Roof Boxer, but once I'd got used to the Trip, it was the one I'd grab on the way out! The fit has loosened up now, or adjusted to my shaped head, and it's a comfortable fit, even with several hours wearing at a time.

Some people say they're noisy, but I haven't found it to be any noisier or quieter than most other helmets - besides ear plugs are always an option!
The flip down dark inner visor is so useful, and Caeberg have got a winner here with this, especially as it's been priced to stop the competeion making a dent in their sales.

Over here, Cabergs seem to be incredibly popular.
Not surprising really, with the Trip selling at £89.99!

The flip up section doesn't seem to flip up high enough for me, so if you're talking to someone with your helmet on, you find yourself tipping your head up so you can see them!!
Shame it isn't like my Roof Boxer which flips al the way over to the back.

You can tell it's a relatively cheaply made helmet, all the bits feel mass produced and flimsy, but after a year of use, nothing has broken on it.

Lastly, I've got it in matt black, and I reckon it's a cool looking helmet!
