Default Helmets

Been searching for a decent helmet for the past week, anyone come accross a website thats got themn on sale ??

Found this one but dont know how the fit will be on it, my HJC is a small and fits a little tight. Tried on one of the new speed and strength helmets and a medium seems to fit better. Anyone know how this scorpion fits compared to other helmets.

What I do when I order a helmet online is goto a store and try one on of the same make. I havent looked at new helmets in a few years but I am sure their has to be a local bike shop thats stocks scorpion helmets, thats the best thing you can do honestly.

Haven't found a shop in town that has scorpion, only seen icon, speed and strength, hjc and i think bell helmets. Only haven't been to one place in town and was hoping to order this one tonight. That way it will be waiting on me when i got back in town friday, but guess i'll wait and try some on when i get back in and keep wearing my crappy hjc til i find something better lol.

Scorpions tend to run a size or so smaller than other helmet brands fwiw. LOVE my scorpion lids though

Go to the Scorpion Website and check for a local dealer near you. I love my Scorpion, I have the 700, looking to get a 1000 for next year.

I'm luck (and not-so-lucky) Revzilla is here in Philly. I went in and tried on my JR RKT101 Carbon Fiber before buying it. Think they still have some last season carbon fiber helmets 50% off.

Went by there today and had to beat a hasty retreat before I left with a Shark Evoline (went in to pick up another set of riding jeans)

I normally wear a medium in helmets (HJC and Bell) But I ordered a Large Scorpion and am glad I did... It's a little loose, but still very snug. I think a Medium would have been too tight.

You know you can buy bigger cheek pads, may help in the looseness...
