Anyone ever hear of Caberg helmets in Italy

[Bombman]

I found these while researching for modular helmets. www.caberg.it . Here is a youtube video of their modular ADV helmet. Looks pretty cool, I am researching getting one shipped in. Only problem is they are not DOT certified, only European. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbJSEsshOd8#t=41 .

In renting I had to wear one as a loaner and I've tried others in shops. Definitely had an odd shape for my Shoei head.
Also be aware that if you scratch the visors or need other parts you will pay more for the air freight than the parts cost.
They do look cool but we are fortunate to have so many other choices available.

Saw the reviews and watched the videos. I like it but no U.S.A. suppliers? At least I could not find one They have been in business since 1974 and have not set up shop to sell in the United States. ??? $50.00 + to ship. :'(

I have a Caberg Sintesi that I picked up in Europe a couple of years ago. It's my favorite helmet (others are a Schuberth C3 and Shark). Great quality, so I'm guessing their other models are good too. It's ECE certified and looks legitimate so no DOT sticker has never been a problem for me. Quite a few different Caberg helmets are reviewed on webbikeworld.com.

Caberg has sold in the US before and look like they will again soon. http://www.cabergusa.com/

I have a Caberg Justissimo modular (http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/caberg-justissimo/) that used to be my daily, regular-wear helmet until it got too hard to get the shields for it. I bought it here in the USA, and it's DOT certified, but they had a distributor here then (back in 2005 or 2006, around there). Once they went away parts supply dried up and it was, as has been mentioned, too expensive to have shields shipped over here from Europe.

It's among the highest quality polycarbonate helmets I have ever seen, and the only one I have ever worn as my regular hat. Up until then I had been strictly a composite, laminated shell guy. I love that Caberg, and would gladly get another if they stayed in business here in the States.

I wore a Schuberth C1 just prior to the Caberg Justissimo, and I liked the Caberg way better than the C1. That said, I wear a Schuberth C3 now, and it will take a truly amazing hat to get me to change from my C3. It's fantastic, and light years better than the old Schuberth C1.

Hope this helps!

Re: Slightly related

I've had two Nolans'(Italian) and I like the fit and the glove friendly quick-release buckle but the shields scratch-up way too easy. No more.

Very popular in the UK - especially there flip up version with drop down sun visor. I found it a bit heavy compared with my Shoei multitech- but then again very cheap / good value.

I have a full face Caberg... The one with the giant sliding vent on the top. REALLY lets the cool air in! I really haven't been wearing it much. Guess I would be willing to sell it if anyone was interested. Let me know I'll check size and post photos.

I have had a Caberg, very good quality, nice helmet. A modular helmet will only be DOT certified, which is ok. Go to Motorcycle consumer news for their helmet dot vs Snell test. For awhile they did not have a US importer due to competation from China and others, still a great helmet.
