Motorcycle Sweetness – Caberg Justisimo

I recently blogged about ordering a new helmet. 
It arrived the other day and I can tell you that this is the best lid I have ever
put on my head.  The Caberg
Justisimo is da bomb!

I had tried on the Schuberth Concept helmet and I find them to quite similar, with
the Caberg coming in a good $150 cheaper.  My old lid, the HJC Symax, fails to
hang with either of these two.

Justisimo Pros

• Modular helmet.  Flip up chin bar.
• The latch is metal, not plastic like the HJC
• The chin has a metal bar running through it, unlike the mere plastic shell of the
  HJC
• The latching mechanism is smooth and solid, with several positions for holding the
  chin partly open.
• The flip down sun shade!  This is awesome.  I will never have another helmet
  without this feature.
• The chip strap is good quality, not just a webbing with a D-Ring, like the HJC
• The finish of the paint is superb. Metal flake black.
• The optional chin apron to protect my chilly beard
• Noise level is very acceptable

Justisimo Cons

• A bit heavy, but then I am no pencil necked geek.  I am a hot dog necked geek.
• The fit for my head type is perfect, but my head size is 61cm.  That falls between
  Large and Extra Large sizes.  I opted for the XL and the helmet could be a bit
  more snug.
• The chin strap link is hard to master with my gloves on.
• The chin latch button is in a place that is a bit awkward.  I could open the
  HJC with my thumb, but in theory the helmet could be opened in a slide and I could
  chum my pretty face.

I feel very lucky that I got the fit right the first time on a mail order helmet that
I had never tried on.
