I've been using a Caberg for quite a few years now, can't remember the model of the first one but been using a Duke for 4 years. Really like it.
I know some people find them noisy but it doesn't affect me.....although I am thick skinned and half deaf :lala:

I have one. I find it quite comfy and good if you wear glasses. Plenty of space for earpieces. The flip up was a bit stiff when new but was OK after a few uses. There is a slider to lock the front if you want to lock it up and I've accidentally  moved it a couple of times  and been unable to flip the front down after setting off. It has a very high safety rating. Noise wise it doesn't seem too bad but I generally wear ear plugs. Overall recommended as a budget helmet.

Went for a caberg duke 2 in white for £118 including pinlock , I wanted a Schuberth C5 but could not reach out the £499 as needed new tyres so bought the duke 2 & new tyres instead

Early days but seems great value for money helmet

on my second one now with no issues, as I wear glasses its very comfy, but try to keep away from black. Just been in France for a week and it tends to get rather warm, buy a white one if you can. For the money I paid it is well worth it and has a good safety rating. :thumb:
