Just picked one of these up at the Cleveland IMS last week. Was looking at the HJC AC-11(???) and then found the Scorp for within $5, and it had the newer Snell M2005 rating.The real clincher though was the rep at their booth. This guy was AWESOME customer service. You could tell he really loved their product.......but more importantly, felt very sincere.......not like he was just there hawking product Old helmet was a Fulmer with the M2000 Snell rating, but didn't see them as an option up there either, so just put "Other". Descent helmet for the money (got on sale for $75) but their shield side attachment has always given me problems.......kinda fragile/chintzy.....Always breaks out when I lift the visor Also........Seems like I can see further back into my blindspot when I turn my head with the Scorp than I could with the Fulmer. That always bugged the piss out of me, and actually was the one thing that made me feel less safe wearing my helmet. That's why it was a non-negotiable when I bought a new helmet. Again, Scorp's booth rep was awesome........Let me take his helmet over to one of the bike areas so I could sit on a bike with it on in actual riding position and check my blind spot visibility ![]() Here's a pic of the new one........

| Re: What's your helmet brand?
I haven't had any problems with my fulmer yet but I have only worn it 3 times so far. But it was a year end clearance at the local bike shop with military discount I walked out the door with it for 68 bucks with the blue mirrored visor included

I have Shoei lids, they are the only ones so far that fit me well. RF800 everyday lid RF1000 road trip lid with Chatter box fitted to it. A friend tried a shark and said great things about it, may try one next. Icon are very nice when I don't rip my ears off putting it on and off.

I have an Arai Quantum. On one of my trips from Cali to Chicago I added silicone gel in the holes on top of the helmet. That took care of all the unwanted wind noise, I still have a clear visor, no fog. The helmet does not get to hot. My trip was done in mid August. I wouldn't think of any other brand. I've owned Shoei,Nolan,and Schubreth

I have an old agv, Shark rsr, HJC something and have a simpson outlaw. Great helmet, best I've ever had. I must say I have many tats (some old school) and love the Soumy Vandal pin up helmet. I have never bought a helmet on looks (almost the original shark flower and hjc carbon fiber) and am not sure I will. Later Joe

I have an Aria RX-7RR4 Corsair. I love the way it fits. Better than any other helmet i've tried (and i've tried a bunch). I don't like the way the vents work though. They are flemsy and the switches break after a while.

| Re: What's your helmet brand?
I'm just getting back into riding after a 4 year hiatus and I have an Arai Quantum e that I bought new as a left over in 2002. I only wore it for one 7,000 mile season but I absolutely loved that helmet. My question is: Has helmet technology come that far in the last 5 to 6 years that I should consider something newer. I did 30 miles on my new XX two weekends ago when the weather broke here in Massachusetts and I still felt like the Arai worked/fit great. |

Scorpion is by far the best value for the price. I have the EXO-700

| Re: What's your helmet brand?
I recently got myself a Suomy Vandal. It fitted my bonce best ( I had my eye on a Shark RSI but it didn't feel as comfy). The vandal is a little louder at speed than my old suomy, but it's a damn sight lighter. Very pleased. Ragtag. (sorry about the piccy quality, it was taken with a camera phone) |

| Re: What's your helmet brand?
Trying a Shark RSi this year. Couple of rides and so far it's okay. The shield change is ridiculously easy/fast. Not sure about the venting yet. Had an HJC CL-11 (?) previously. Decent enough helmet but the wind noise is crazy. Edit: Been riding with the Shark RSi for about a month now. It's a decent enough helmet. But I've noticed a fair amount of wind noise, and oddly enough it comes in through the bottom of the helmet in the neck area behind the ears. If the padding was thicker it'd be a super-quiet helmet. Very odd they'd design the foam like that. Not sure if it's done on purpose or what. Last edited by Pavdog; 05-11-2007 at 3:10 PM. Reason: Add info |

Fulmer. Only problem is most places don't carry parts or shields for the full face Fulmer.
