Scorpion ADX 2 - Lewis Matt Black / Orange I have had other brands and for the price this surpassed them all. Quiet and comfortable and vents are adequate for removing heat
Scorpion ADF-9000 Air - Desert Matt Black / Silver Comfortable, great vision and very quiet even with the fitted peak.
I've never had problems with the peak affecting faster trips so have never removed it.
The visor mounting as others have mentioned needs some force but it seals well. The inbuilt internal visor is useful in low direct sunlight but you have to remember to clean it occasionally or when you come to use it, it will be dirty and smudged.
Overall great helmet and I'd buy again
Scorpion Exo-391 - Aaxo Matt Black / Pink Comfortable, removable pads, really great to know I could try it on and return if it didn't fit. Easy to open the visor with gloves on, doesn't seem to steam up much.
Scorpion ADX 2 - Lewis Black / Red Super quality, comfort and stylish. Finish is superb and the features feel more like a much more expensive helmet, which makes this helmet stand out.
Scorpion Exo-Tech Carbon Evo - Solid Black Helmet is very light wearing it. Voice is very precise in what position you put it in easy to operate over flip reason quiet helmet very pleased with my purchase.
Scorpion Exo - 491 - Matt Black I do have a big head but the helmet size is got is very snug but then protection feels great and it feels good quality and also looks cool.
Scorpion Exo-GT SP Air - Matt Black / Red Took a long time to find a helmet that fit my funny shaped head, needing an XS compared to the previous 1400's S.
Scorpions newest touring/sports helmet. Outside shell is a composite structure and has a styled shape with adequate but effective venting, though limited to just the 2 front openings. Internal linings are snug and ear space is generous, fitting my elephant lobes well even with head phones. The helmet has removable covers for where speakers can fit for a comms unit and the outside has a capped port where one can be mounted. Being so new to the market, compatible comms and mounts are hard to identify at the moment. Internal sun visor as well but had no need yet to use it.
2 visors are in the box, clear and smoke tinted, but you only get 1 pinlock insert that you fit yourself on either of the visors. It is a 120 and it works flawlessly as it rained during the CBT but the visor never fogged up. Also noticed that there was very little ingress of water anywhere. had the visor not fully closed at one point doing 30+ and no rain or damp patches on the padding.
Does well in strong gusty cross winds and wind noise is low to moderate, though my experience is limited as this is the first helmet.
Though mid-range pricing, a very good first helmet to get.
