I saw a Caberg Trip on ebay - looked like a nice helmet with some good features, and they only list for about 89 GBP as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, they're not available in the US at this time so can't try on. Flip-ups seem to run snug as a rule, though, although the HJC was true to size (for me). I have a daughter in London so I may ask her to look into a Caberg for me. Anyone know of a place that offers good discounts over there?
The trip will not be available in the USA.. It is being produced under license from Caberg, but is not made by them.

I tried to track down more USA info for what Caberg is going to offer, but finding that out is dern hard.. .there is a "new line" on the way fro the US market but the helmets won't be here until August.. errr... anywho.. A trip style helmet does not appear to be on the plate for the US market.

I was goign to buy a Trip for my GF, as it has the double visors, but I could not find out if the Trip uses metal catches on the flip mechanism, so I opted for a Justissimo, from the UK of all places... bought it used on ebay for $55Uk..
