Default Scorpion helmets

The word is getting out about this new product line from Lake Forest California.
http://scorpionusa.com/

I checked these out the other day when I was at a grand opening near Ortega. These things make you wonder because of the price, but ther are legit. Just picked one up for my GF and she absolutely loves the difference from her older HJC. Much more comfortable and also quieter. They have a kick *** antifog on their lenses. I couldn't make the thing fog at ALL. Also standard are the breath guards, which are unnessary with the anti fog. Shield change out time is about 15-30 seconds; a bit slower than my Shoei, but OK. Great looking helmet.
I recently went to look at Moto helmets as my Fox is getting old. I tried on all the new lines...Fox, HJC, Troy Lee, Scorpion, etc...
Damn !! the difference a scorpion makes. The absolute best fit and most comfortable moto helmet for sure. The best is the price...under $150 for either street OR moto. I picked up my girls Exo-400 for $130 after tax.
Think I'll be getting a moto and a street backup.

I like the scorpion helmets also but found a deal on a Shoei Z-II. I might have to write a letter to santa.

I just picked up a Scorpion exo-700. Totally dig that helmet. A little louder than my old Shoei, but much lighter and I love the anti-fog. Great ventilation too.

Only problem is the nose-guard showed me exactly how crooked my nose is from being broken so many times. [sm=owned.gif]

Oh yeah, I picked mine up off of craigslist - used like twice for $60.00

I just bought the EXO-700 Fury. It is by far the most comfortable helment that I've used thus far...which isn't a ton, but still. Great ventilation, great anti-fog, and suuuuper comfy.

I don't have one and do not know anything in detail about the helmets, but one of my friends has one and said that it is a great helmet with one complaint. He says at high speeds that it has a tremendous amount of wobble, compared to his HJC.
