AGV are a smaller fitting helmet than most but that won't matter if yer trying them on. What that means though is your normal helmet size may not apply.
Some people have touching faith in the SHARP ratings. They are not gospel, they are a guide - and they are flawed. It's possible that situation has changed over the last year or three but I can't be bothered reading it all up again. Some of my helmets have five stars, some don't. If I could only have one helmet it would be one of the Arais which only get three stars, but for my money they are a superior helmet to the five star hats I have.

Trevor Pierce, Budget, First European, all have AGV.
...I just put my own stars on...one helmet I have has about 10 of them, in different colours and some stripes too...
Thanks a lot for everybody's replies, it's been great having so much input on a very new thread. I've been on other forums that don't get replies like this one!
Regardless of the star rating, Cabergs are very nicely made helmets and are way better than they should be for the price. I've had a couple and they've been comfortable and quiet. Buy a snug fit because the padding quickly relaxes to the shape of your head.

After about 20,000km the answer to my own question.
Do not buy for use as a daily all weather helmet.
Rowdy as all hell when windy or wet.
Some materials, screws etc in the lining and moving parts are not up to wet weather use.
The advertised bt unit is useless, and the external control panel not available.
My advice to myself a year ago... find a better helmet or only use it on sunny days.
It works OK for me, but I'd agree that the buttons on the microphone are a bit awkward and take a while to get used to.
I like the fact that it's a sealed unit without any external fittings, means I can leave the helmet lying around no worries.
Seems to work OK but it's the first headset I've had so got nothing to compare.
I'd agree my old Caberg didn't have the best fit and finish.

Hmmm, to be fair I never actually tried the unit... that said, I see no point to a unit you cannot adjust the volume on the fly.
I was also unable to find a positive review... Even the vendor advised against buying one. Said the distributor told them to avoid selling them.
