    I quite fancy one of these meself.

    I googled some older posts here from Mr. Auvache and others who claimed
    that the Caberg's made them look cool, especially with the internal
    tinted visor down.

    Are they still the perros cojones, or are their better ones about now? I
    particularly like the idea of being able to put it on and take it off
    with glasses.

    The latest ones seem to have a bluetooth option - has anyone tried that?

    TIA

    Face it, it'll take more than that to make you look cool :)

    PS Badminton before Thursday?

    Not talking about Schuberth by any chance are you? There *is* a new
    bluetooth system for them,[1]
    Available in Germany. Sort of.
    [1]But not in UK[2]
    [2] Yet. The wankers that laughingly call themselves "UK Agents" know of it,
    but not when or how much.

    I have a Caberg, and wear glasses, and although it's possible to
    remove the helmet whilst wearing glasses, I invariably take them off
    first.

    I had a quick try of the Caberg Justisississississisimo today - not bad,
    and I do like the flippy up and down sun visor thingy.

    However, I also tried the Shoei Multitech - muuuuch more comfy, and
    lighter too.

    I need to save a few more pennies. Their RRP seems to be about 285 quid,
    tho' I can find it online for less than that. In the shop of course he
    tried to warn me off and said the cheaper ones on t'internet were 'grey
    imports' and they they wouldn't have any warranty/after sales service
    yada yada. Is he, (as I suspect he is) talking guff?

    I got one of these the other day

    I do like it, interior visor is just the right tint to be useful,
    Helmet is very easy to wear.

    I got my Caberg primarily because I don't have to fart about with me specs
    when I take the helmet off or put it on.

    I don't know about it looking "cool" (too billiard ball shaped for that),
    but I've got no complaints about mine apart from it being a noisy fucker if
    the rubber neck/chin shield isn't modified.
