Any one got one of these?

Have hit the floor twice in my caberg gt so I've been looking at replacing it. I'd buy another caberg but the build is poor and the front it resting on my chin.
Nolan fits nice in the shop but how much noise and is it worth the extra money?

correct sir

I have a N102 which for a flip front I find fairly quiet, but saying that I always use ear plugs.
The build quality is good but replacement visors are hellishly expensive.
The 102 has an external flip up smoked sunscreen which is a crap design, I think the 103 has the sunshade under the visor = much much better.
When I bought mine a got a fit that felt slightly too tight, this has now settled in to a comfortable snug fitting helmet. Would I buy another 102?, probably not, but I am tempted by the 103.

Thanks for that. Tried one on and it feels good although a bit heavier than the old Caberg but feels far better quality.
And yes the sun visor's now internal.

Once off road so nothing bad. The other one though,,,

Just over took a car, flicked the bike out too far to the left into the dirt to get a better view round the next right hand corner. Lucky I was on the Dominator so hardly any damage to the bike.

I bought the N103 at the backend of last year to replace the crap N102 (and I mean crap!). SO far so good and the internal sun visor is great. Noise isn't an issue but I wear earplugs every ride. Nice and comfy and a good fit. Colour choice is limited so I bought black.
Beware the whitevanman!

I've had one for a while now and I am very pleased indeed. Replaced my Schuberth S1 which kept fogging up in damp/cold or wet weather.
I also have the N-com bluetooth intercom gubbins too which works very well indeed with both my iphone and autocom separatly or together.

Got it yesterday, wasn't the colour a wanted but I'm still keeping it.
Haven't had a good ride with it yet as I've got an infection in my left big toe and can't change gear. ranting.gif
