Maybe other brands are better but I find the tinted part isnt dark enough (its better than nothing but nothing like a pair of sunglasses) and that it dont come down far enough meaning your always looking at the bottom edge of it rather than completley through it.

    Ive never had any trouble with it fogging up, though I dont use the tinted bit that often and the main visor didnt fog up at all when I first bought it so maybe its the same issue with the tinted bit.
    I have one of these as well... true the tinted could be darker but I have a mirror visor fitted and use the drop down visor quite a bit with that and it works good...
    I find the inner does come down far enough and had no problems with fogging yet....

    Hi. These are a good value for money helmet with the ECE-22.05 safety standard. They would retail from shops around the $350-$400 mark. They cut out a good amount of sound and are very comfortable. These are an impressive helmet for the price and I am sure that whoever buys one would not be disapointed. (If you purchase 1, it would be great to hear your comments on here.)
    Cheers.

    I mean cabbages are just not safe ....... !!!

    I have just purchased a Caberg V2 Rhyno flip up, with a dual visor, and I am very pleased with it. One of the lightest flip ups around, awesome quality, relatively quiet and a 5 star sharp rating. Cost me $425 from the local importer.

    Anytime I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right there is a 90% probability I will get it wrong

    Good to hear. Just curious, who is local importer? Where did you get the lid from.

    Last time I called NWA, who were supposedly the listed Distrib. but they said they were not interested in bringing them into NZ.

    I do recommend Red Cabbage as I find it more stronger then normal Green cabbage

    All flip top helmets by definition are noisier than non flip tops... you have two great cracks running down the side of your helmet.

    That would be true, but some have to be better than others....such as the shuberth(sp) in there advetising ,the flip front isn't that much higher decibel
    wise over there other full face.
    Any i would hope so for the price.
