-------
The first thing that I loved about the helmet was the weight, as compared to my prev Nolan N100, this was alot lighter.

All the reviews that I found in the net were generally true.

But here's my 2 cent as compared to my N100.

It was alot lighter as mentioned, but I was pretty comfortable with a Nolan XL but the Justissimo gave me a slight headache (On the top left and right side of my head) if I were to wear it for more than an hour.
*Prob cos I have quite a round head.

Next thing that I don't like about this helmet was...
The wind noise!
Note, the road noise was fine... but the wind noise was a killer!
*I do not have a habit of wearing ear plugs.

The N100 was easy on the wind noise but the road noise was quite bad.
*But I have grown accustomed to listening to my ST1100's purr.

But this helmet scored high on the cool factor as compared to the Rhyno, (Where the lever for the visor was on top of the helmet)
*It just did not look as cool as "flipping" it from the side of the visor like the Justissimo.

Was more cooling than the N100.

But the specs mentioned that the visor was fog resistant... I beg to differ... It never failed to fog up the first couple of mins when I flip the visor down.

Price - Great
Coolness - Superb
Wind & Road Noise - Could be better
Visor - Fail

Also, Why can't they made those caberg logo sitckers so we can choose to peel them off if we didn't like them........
