Caberg Trip v Shoei Multitec
I used a Caberg Trip for the last 2 years. Noise was the only issue - everything else was fine, apart from the inner visor lever/slider, which is on top of the helmet. It came loose and fell off. Unable to get a replacement. Bought a Shoei Multitec. What a waste of money. It was quieter than the Caberg at low speeds, but at 60+ a loud, deep noise would actually hurt my left ear. Unlike the Caberg Multitec, which was spacious around my ears, the Shoei Multitec is very snug and close-fitting, which I suspect is what makes it quieter at lower speeds. However, in the few days of fine weather that we had recently, it also made me sweat. I then discovered that unlike the Caberg, which has a complely removable lining, The Shoei's lining is fixed. You cannot remove it to wash. In Greece last summer my Caberg Trip helmet got very smelly, but I was able to wash it. Was I p****d off!!! Have just sold the Shoei. Had it about a month - lost £170!!! I am going to buy another Caberg.
