Default On the search for a new lid

have kind of been thinking about this one:
Scorpion Eternity Chameleon

right now I have a Sparx Helmet and after about two years of having it the cheapness is starting to show. looking for an upgrade to a nice mid range helmet where I dont have to spend a paycheck on it.

Scorpions are good helmets at their price point. I've met the factory marketing guy. Saw the display/demonstration of their helmet features, etc. Good stuff. Wouldn't necessarily classify them in the top tier but good nevertheless.

Scorpion is a good helmet. For the price, you cant beat it.
Go with a line that has the speed view feature, an internal tinted visor. It's really nice to have. Some lines have a feature that lifts the visor 1/2 inch. It helps with anti fog and ventilation. Look for the little lever on the shield.

think that one i posted up would be decent? i found it for like $165 then i'd just buy the blue visor for it also. i dont mind switching seeing as i have been doing that for the last few years anyways.

I have both a scorpion EXO400 and recently bought an EXO1100. Both are great lids especially for the money. Even though I wear the 1100 almost exclusively I will still hang on to the 400 as a spare
