Default Scorpion EXO-700 Helmet

Does anyone own a Scorpion EXO 700? I am looking for a full face helmet to wear during the rain/cold mornings and maybe even all the time. I found some EXO 700's for $99.99 and it seems like a good deal but wanted to see if anyone had any experiences with them. Thanks

It's a damn good helmet if they fit your head shape, like most any of the other big name helmets. Some people have a Scorpion shaped head, some an Arai, some Shoei.

A while back I was looking for a full-face for the same thing, before a long trip. I went to a local Triumph/Yamaha/etc. dealer with a lot of cheaper helmets and tried them on. I usually wear a large - turns out some larges pressed my face flat and others wouldn't go over my ears, while others fit. The size difference between brands was huge. I ended up with a Vega 2XL (even though my other Vega is a large). After trying it at the store, I bought it from a deal on Ebay for half the price. So, go try some on.

I have had a few different helmets over the years...
All I will buy at this point in FF is
Scorpion...
The price, quality, fitment...
Ratings, tests..
And all that other stuff, has them compared up there with the likes of the real expensive helmets.
I like my scorpions. There is currently 3 in my home..

Default exo

i have one and i love it, gets a decent airflow with all the vents open on those hot days. it has the no fog shield which works great, and not too heavy.

Thank guys, I'm going down to the local shop this morning to try on some Scorpions and others and if it fits right, looks like I will try the scorpion. Right now I have 2 half's and a 3/4, If I can find a FF thats vented enough hopefully I can bring myself to start wearing it haha. I'm still partial to wearing nothing. The opinions on the Scorpions seem like comfort and venting are pretty good so we shall see.

I like the Scorpion helmets but the giant power rangers looking "S" glued to their helmets doesn't do it for me.
