i tried it on and i actually thought it was pretty nice for the cost. scorpion and kbc are pretty much the only "cheaper" branded helmets i trust.

Like everyone else has said, it's an awesome helmet for the price. When I was doing research on helmets, I came across a J.D. power & associates review (can't find it again) but it covered all the major brands of helmets and only Arai and Scorpion scored a perfect 5/5. The only gripe I have with the helmet, and others have had, is that it gets loud. I'm not sure how much louder it is compared to, say Shoei or Arai since this is the only helmet I've ridden with, but it would've been nice if it were a tad quieter. $200 for the exo-700 is tough to beat though...

I have a exo-400 and I love it very comfy and not too noisy. It also impossible to fog up the shield because of the breath deflector thing. Its much better then my rf-800

I have never heard a bad review about scorpion helmets other than some people say its a tad bit noisey. I have a scorpion EXO-700 and I LOVE it! I am a big scoprion fan. Lots of people with more expensive helmets love it too.

Interesting, I might have to consider one of these for a replacement helmet.

Anyone know how they compare in size to HJC?
