After trying on about a dozen helmets I finally tried this one, and it’s a perfect fit! I like the stylish colourway too, and the detail of greyscale rose patterned lining. The sun visor is really effective, I just wish the lever was slightly easier to operate with thick winter gloves on.

Good helmet but quite snug.

Bought this for my wife after her not being on bike for 18 years, she had her eye on another helmet but then she spotted the Scorpion Exo. The moment she tried it on she absolutely loved how comfortable it was and also found out it has a drop down sun visor built in. We went out the next day and she said there was hardly any wind noise which is a bonus, highly recommended.

It is a pretty quiet helmet and with the pinlock obviously it doesn't steam up. The sun visor is a bit difficult to drop with thick gloves on. Air vents actually work.

The Scorpion EXO-491 is a strong contender in the entry-level helmet market. It offers a good balance of features, comfort, and safety for its price point. While it has some compromises in terms of weight and noise, these are generally acceptable given its affordability. For riders seeking a practical and well-equipped helmet without breaking the bank, the EXO-491 is a solid choice.

This is my third Scorpion helmet, for the price you get a stylish, light, comfy helmet it's my go to lid whenever I need a replacement.
I use this one for trackdays and have a modular flip front for road use I can't fault them , good wide view visor, easy to operate drop down sun shade , emergency pull out cheek pads should the worst happen. Slightly noisy but not a problem with ear plugs in.
