which shield do u guys think?
That's a tough one for me because I really like the look of the mirrored ones the most, but I think they scratch too easy.
Also, are the mirrored ones even available in the "everclear" fog free version? Because the fog free is a must have for me.

kilgor both do come with the everclear anti fog coating... And ya it's a tough one foe me too.. One reason is if you watch the track bike gear review for the exo 700 it shows the silver smoke and it looks like it perfectly matches the black chromeish looking emblems on the forehead. But the picture I posted it looks more silver. But I'm sure that depends alot on the lighting

i have always liked the mirrored ones myself. plus for me when we go out and wind up riding home in the dark i always find it easier to see with the mirrored vs. the smoke.

I have 2 scorpions and neither have lost their emblem.

For the money... I'd say it's pretty hard to beat the scorpion 400/700, actually.

I think either of them would look so much better with a mirrored shield, but I hate night riding with dark shields so I stick with clear and just wear sunglasses.
Now that I know they make a mirror anti-fog that isn't too bad at night, I'll probably pick one up to try.

And Z, I don't think you'll have a problem with it matching. Not enough that anyone would notice.
