Sports: Re: [DucatiST] Re: Helmets

Yeah, the Caberg's are cool.

Personally, I prefer the Suomy helmet. They fit my extra large noggin pretty good, are reasonably light, and are relatively quiet at speed. Shoei's are a good choice for me too, for I seem to have a Shoei type skull.

I'll buy, and wear, a flip-up type helmet when a Moto GP road racer wears one. (running and ducking). =8^).

Now, back to watching the Indianapolis 500 race.

Agree with Ian. I've used the Caberg now for many years and fine them brilliant. Don't know why they're not more popular, maybe ain't trendy enough ;-) Don't find the internal tinted visor noisy at all.

Good luck
