Very nice looking helmet. I have a Shoei Neotech II, and there are a lot of similarities in the styling between the Caberg and Neotech, judging from the pictures. I think you will love the micro ratchet chin strap, as the Neotech also has it, and I like it a LOT. I think a modular is a very good compromise between a 3/4 and a full face, and being able to open the chin bar you will find very handy in multiple situations.
The only thing I personally could not do, is order a helmet from overseas, unless I had tried on the exact same model here locally first. I have tried on so many different helmet brands over the years, that it is scary what a little bit of fit difference can make in terms of initial, short, and long term comfort. I remember, for instance, trying on a Shark ( if I remember brand correctly ) modular. Fit on my head was comfortable, but the inside of the chin bar was only a fraction of an inch from my chin. I was interested in a Schuberth, but when I tried it on, the interior shape did not fit the shape of my head and was uncomfortable immediately. HJC was my first modular, and I found that their size large was about 1/8 inch bigger than most others. It was one of the most comfortable helmets ever, but I went to Shoei after I discovered the HJC had ( back then, different now ) plastic chin bar locking components.
I can see in the pictures your Caberg has steel chin bar locking posts like the Shoei, so I bet it has steel latch components as well. Congrats on what looks like a very well designed helmet!
