I have the Caberg Justissimo GT with integral sun visor. It is a heavy lid(1800g), and has a lot of wind noise. I wear ear plugs most of the time, so the noise is not a problem, and I've got used to the weight now, so for around £160 it's a good value lid.

Caberg Justissimo for me.....like someone said, best of both worlds is a flip up with added bonus of a sun visor.  You can have it up before setting off or before slowing down and if some crazy car driver cuts you up on the motorway.....you can put it back up and give him a word of advice.  One also looks like a topgun if one has the visor down lol.

Hi biker32/fellow tyke!  Welcome to BMThumbs Up   I have the Caberg Justissimo flip up too, I must admit its a great helmet and i loved it but I've since got a Shoei 1100 and it's so much lighter and quieter.
