Default Scorpion exo 400

ive been lookin at helmets for a while, and without trying anything on i had kinda set myself on a exo.
so today i went to the motorcycle shop and tried a bunch of helmets on and the exo BY FAR was the most comfortable one i tried, it felt like a big pillow around my head lol

but my question is, how is the ventilation in the the exo 400 (sting to be exact) i know the padding is so soft and its all around, but there is so much padding that it feels like it may be smothering. so anyone that has one can you tell me how the ventilation is, and will it be bearable in 90+ degree weather?

EDIT: Also the CL-15 draco stuck out to me b/c the design, and the dragons on the back look really tattoo inspired which i think is awesome... but then i put it on my head and.... well... it was the most uncomfortable thing ive ever felt haha, so does anyone have any other opinions on this? i know HJC are pretty popular, so it really surprised me how stiff the pads felt

No helmet is fun in 90+degrees. Riding is barely fun although I ride every day of summer in so cal. What you want to do is get a motoX helmet and wear goggles. Thats what I do. I trust my helmet that keeps me safe in the desert on the street. Actually, during the summers, most of my gear that I ride the streets with is my gear that I wear in the desert. Flame away...[:@]

Also I wear HJCs and the pads break in to be really soft.

ok. ill think about the HJC and probably go try them all on again before i decide what to get.

also anyone w. the exo 400, do your sunglasses fit underneath them? i have oakley halfjackets, so if anyone has just so happened to put halfjackets on while wearinga 400 i would like to know how that workd out, or just like i said, anyone who has a exo400, how well do you guys's glasses fit while wearing it?

Your sunglasses will fit fine in the EXO series helmets.

I've had my EXO-400 Warhawk for over a year, it vents great and is very comfortable. I have an HJC too, it's pretty good, but for the money, go with Scorpion.

Oh yeah, my glasses fit fine in the helmet.

good. venting is one of my main concerns, but that review says the venting is poor, but you say its great... so ihope its great, lol.

and it also says it smells like chocolate inside??? the ones i tried on didnt smell like chocolate so i think the ppl who wrote thatreview got a "contaminated sample" lol

All the new helmets have their own scent. Its not like chocolate, I dont think. It is just the NEW smell.
