Well, my new D.O.T. approved Daytona Eclipse modular helmet (a.k.a knock off Caberg) arrived today. Unfortunately, they sent the wrong size. The helmet looks identical to the Caberg (modular, integrated pop down sun screen, etc.). However, it doesn't feel as solid as my Arai. But that's a $480 helmet vs $109 helmet. Padding is adequate but not thick as the Arai. I have a feeling this will be a noisy helmet but I wear ear plugs, have a high windscreen and listen to my tunes so this shouldn't matter. I'll always have the Arai if it doesn't work out.
I saw this helmet last year. It replaces the Caberg Jarrow model that I wear. Let me know once you have road tested it how you like it. I asked the lady what the differences between the Jarrow/Caberg @ $299 and the helmet that you bought. She indicated that there are slight variations in the design but the price point difference comes in the labor costs. Italy versus China. Please advise me of the workmanship and quality of the new helmet. Ride safe. It looks good!
