Looking for cheap/used gear
motorcyclegear.com now; I've used them for all my gear needs and their customer service is top notch. It's sort of a pain if you need to return things, but no more than any other online retailer and they give you 110% back to cover your shipping costs. Just wait till it gets back before reordering to use the gift card.

Used gear is better than no gear any day and it's good your trying to get your woman geared up too. As for the exo's they are a great value, they aren't just ok helmets for a cheap price, they are actually a quality lid. As for Shift the brand is done for, kaput, out of business. Thats why all their stuff is one sale now. Too bad actually, some of their stuff wasn't too bad. Better ****** it up quick if you want any of it.. once it's gone it's gone.

You can ONLY choose a helmet by trying it on. Scorpion helmets, besides being very heavy, give me a wicked headache almost the instant I put them on. They're extremely round in profile, and my head just isn't that shape. They test out pretty well under the Sharp scheme (see SHARP Helmets - THE HELMET SAFETY SCHEME), though, so if they fit you properly, they're probably a great choice!
Don't buy a 'used' helmet.
I had a great experience buying my helmet from Competition Accessories (compacc.com). They did much better on price than their 'advertized' price for the helmet I bought. I bought one of the many brands that sets a minimum advertized price, but since I called them for help and advice instead of just buying off the site, they gave me a different, non-advertized price. I'd most certainly buy from them again.

As for the girl, I ended up picking up a Scorpion EXO400 Paradise off ebay for $9.50 with $15.00 shipping. It was "new" from an actual motorsports store, just an outdated model. If it's crap it was only $25 wasted, im sure I can sell it for that. Also, she already has a leather jacket for now, it was just her helmet was like from the 80s 
As for myself I am looking at a EXO 700 matte black for like $75 that was "worn twice with minor scratches".. awaiting more pictures...
Not sure if I should go with that and risk it or pay $200 for a new scorpion exo 700 in matte black
(I really like that matte black with silver mirror shield)
Anyone have advice?
Also, going to check out that MotorcycleGear.com now

Have exo 400 and it works great for me. It's lower series but very good quality.
I bought my stuffs from Motorcycle-superstore close out and streettrackracing. You can basically get some closeout items for dirt cheap price.
