I have the EXO 700 and I'm happy with it. It's one of the few helmets that fit me comfortably. It's stable at highway speeds (doesn't lift) and fairly quiet too. I got the optional chin guard and tinted visor. Ventilation is good although sitting at stop lights for any length of time the visor will start to fog but clears right away when moving again. A strange thing happened to me when I was caught in a rain storm, I was soaked, but even with the helmet vents open my head and hair were dry. I personally would give this helmet a excellent rating.

I gotta agree with stardon. Its a great helmet. Ive had it for 2 months now and have had 0 problems. It fits my big head very nicely. I have though experianced some fogging of the visors when it rains. The tinted mirrored visors do scratch really easy though. So if you get one of those, just be careful. You will not regret this helmet. Best protection for the money.

I have the 400 and love it. It blew my old HJC out of the water. The Scorpions, in my opinion, vent very well. I've never had a fogging issue with the no fog shields. I think the mirrored shield will fog because they don't list it as a non-fog one.

it depends on the application..it vents well on most bikes...I don't get enough air flow on my vulcan so its always fogging/condensation below about 55* out
any other bikes its great, comfortable, and quiet...

I've been wearing mine for over a year and love it! Crash tested a few times too...different helmets of course. ^_~ I don't think it's noisy at all. Then again I wear ear plugs all the time. Also the only time I ever had fogging issues was when it was pouring rain and super windy during a track day. THAT was it! Any other day even during winter time was no problemo! Hope this helps!
I don't have the wind shield but it sounds nifty. Another recommendation for winter riding is just get a ski mask. Fits perfect underneath and keeps your head and neck toasty. |

I have two EXO400s and my wife has the EXO700 Rivet. They vent very well, and the ever clear shields are pretty good. They *will* fog up at stop lights, but clear up with the slightest breeze. The 700 also has the composite fibergalss/kevlar shell and is lighter than my 400.
Side note - I crash tested my EXO400 about a month ago (not on purpose) and it held up very well. |

Heck of a lot better than the HJC CL15 I had. Much quieter and doesn't fog up on me. Interior padding is comfortable and removable to be washed. Has a quick release shield if you're into the whole tinted/untinted thing but I just use sunglasses.
