Lol let me rephrase, it's not loose at all, just not super tight. I like it now that it's broke in, feels real snug and comfortable on.

Found my best deal here....ended up with RKT101. Fits great to my actual measurements I took before ordering, very comfy.

I had an HJC CL-SP last year.. was a bit too loose (XL) I replaced it with the exact same EXO400 that you linked up (large). I love it.. great value for the money.

I found a EXO-700 for only $30 more than the EXO-400. Going to look into what the differences are and decide which one to get.

Here's the EXO-700, its less than $125 shipped.

You dont need to go through ebay..

I think it was $10 to ship my EX0400.. SBTG is pretty good.. got my helmet and 1 set of gloves from them.. the first place I shop is newenough..

If you like matte finish helmets:

EXO400 for $49.95

The clear shield alone is $35 plus shipping.. so for about $15 you get a helmet too! unreal... almost makes me want to buy another one.

Thx just ordered the black/gold EXO-400 for $49 now have to find a gold mirror shield to go on it. The site was on extended back-order for the extra shield.

And it was cheap enough so i wont feel bad if i upgrade in the near future.

I would have done the same thing, bboi. I have 2 of those helmets and I like them a lot. You can't beat the features for the price. I think you're gonna like it.

i hope so, it has to be better than my HJC....that lid sucks. It doesnt have any kind of anti-fog or sound deadening or anything. Was joking with my brother that a mirror visor is going to cost as much as the entire lid did lol.

The biggest sale for me was the anti fog shield too, also the price lol. Even after shipping its cheaper than the knock off PGR brand i was looking at on E-bay.

Yeah, my HJC seems way heavier and the shield fogs up like crazy.
The Scorpion is way better looking, fits better, doesn't fog, better vents, more aerodynamic, etc.
It doesn't seem any quieter than the HJC, tho. I quess it depends which model you have.
