I bought the Scorpion exo 1000 helmet this weekend and I gotta say its the best 300.00 I spent on a helmet. Ive had SHOEIs HJCs ICONs and a previous model scorpion EXO 400. Its quiet, the inflatable cheek pads give a snug feel, and no more shield swaps because its got the built in flip down sun shield. at highway speeds buffeting is minimal, and the air vents actually really work... I can barely hear my motor anymore, which is cool but kind of scary being that my exhaust is pretty loud so paying attn to how much noise im making is a little tricky but anyway....Anyone looking into buying a new helmet on a budget and wants to get thebest bang for your buck check this one out....

 

I was about to get this helmet too, but the it's so freaking heavy! I liked all the neat features, but in the end, the weight of the helmet affected my decision the most. I opted out. I chose my AGV XR2 helmet instead.

 

I looked at that one too...admittedly the 1000 is a little heavy but the weight is very well distributed front rear side to side... oh well sifferent strokes for different folks I guess

 

Yes the EXO-1000 is a really nice helmet. It is a little bit heavier than some others but the features it has are pretty nice.
