This is my lid. A flip face 90 pounds (about $400 here ) Sharp score the flip face helmets both by stars and by recording the incidence of failure of the flip to stay locked in place. The Caberg Rhino/Trip scored 5 Stars and the flip face remained locked in 90% of impact tests. The only other 5 star flip face (BMW $y$tem 5) stayed locked 100%, while the typical score is something like the 4 star Shark Evoline which only stayed locked for 75% of impact tests.

Interestingly Schuberth make the BMW helmet yet their own C2 scored 4 stars and the C3 got 3 stars??
I had an LS2 flip face fly open when I turned my head sideways to look before changing lanes on the Welington motorway at just under 100km/h. Just about tore my head off....blardy thing. The dealer sent it back as it was near new and the manufacturer said there had been a "number" of failures similar. Its a pot plant holder now.
