    Excellent start today, sun out and the roads are dry, with odd patches
    of ice (but nowt to worry about). So the Caberg secret weapon flip down
    visor is, erm, flipped down.

    First impression is good, it's very comfy, although not quite as good as
    my old Nitro (but then that's been fitting to my head for three years).
    The very cold start gave the fog free visor a good test, and that was
    excellent, no fogging at all there. The flip down did mist a little, but
    not too bad, and it cleared quickly when I got moving.

    It's a tad noisier than the Nitro, I tried it without plugs on the
    outward journey, but it was bearable on the half hour run to work. Much
    better with plugs in on the way back. I've had worse though, the HJC and
    Bell lids were terrible.

    The flip down visor was great, the sun was still low and I didn't notice
    it at all. It even helped with that flickering you get past trees.

    In all I'm satisfied with my purchase.

    I tried one on and it was the first helmet in a long time other than
    Arai which impressed. The V2 in matt black looked particularly spiffy.

    No, it's a full face lid, but has a flip down tinted visor inside the
    main visor.

    I thought it looked nice, I wanted blue because I have blue textiles,
    and I like blue anyway.
