Not sure if these babies are sold in the US, but quite a popular brand in Europe. It's been some years since my open face Shoei became too old to countenance wearing and in this latest UK heatwave, I've missed not having an open face helmet to throw on for short trips to the shops etc., so I shopped around and Voila!
First impressions for what is a sub-£100 helmet are positive. It's well put together, plenty of Italian style, comfortable and light and the noise levels are OK with my ear plugs in situ. There's a more detailed generic review of the brand below* Yesterday's trip out to the Dentist was much more pleasant with a cooling breeze around my chin and the 15 miles or so passed without sweat or drama.
Disclaimer: I know and accept that an open face lid does not offer anywhere near the protection of a FF, but I choose when I wear it accordingly and was pleasantly surprised to be reminded of the greater visibility afforded by an OF helmet!

Very nice Neil. I liked this one too...but like yours better.
YES! So good to see riders pick the safest color! (according to studies I've read)

my Nolan is from Italy, too.....but, I swear, "NOLAN" sounds like a guy from East Orange, New Jersey!?
....and my oldest son just named his new baby Nolan! (probably not from my helmet...but after a famous American fastball throwing major league baseball pitcher)

Nice looking.
I got a new modular LS2, even tried it on at the dealers, and find after an hour of use, it gives me a headache. Wanted a helmet for cooler days than my open face.

Got one of those too! Mine gives me jaw ache after an hour or so. I'd bought it about 2 years ago so felt sort of justified in handing it on to eldest lad and treating myself to a new OF helmet. I have an AGV FF for the cooler days, but loving riding with this Caberg and it's so light compared to my FFs.

I watched a video on helmet buying.
He said wear it around the store for at least 20 mins!
That worked well for me twice.

Good advice Stig.

Looks nice and light . Doesnt seem to be the huge balloon on the head shape I have run into
now and then.
I use a modular most days and love it. I just also bought a dual sport because I like
the space between your mouth and the helmet . I have 2 half lids but dont use them as much ,
due to having to wear ear plugs for wind noise and of course no lower jaw coverage.
