Hi everbody, as promised, here's my review!
Scorpion EXO-500 XL, Mate Black. I Bought it from sportbiketrackgear.com since my local bikeshop didn't had them. It took about a week (5 open days) to receive it. Great customer services, props to them!
First impression : Helmet came with its original box + the shipping box (that wasn't protected by styrofoam in the interior...) Helmet box moved freely insideand I didn't like it very well since it can scratch it and break it...
When I opened the box : I found a nice, smooth and great looking helmet. It came with a black and yellow bag that is very nice. (As you can imagine, it also smelled very good
)
Having a look around it : It's a very user friendly helmet. Everything is simple, well explained and soft. Visor is easy to remove and internal sun visor is also really smooth.
Taking it for a first ride : I am 6'1 200pounds 21 year old male, my head has a normal shape (between oval and egg) and I ordered a XL. It fits PERFECTLY. Here's a good advice for you future buyers : Scorpion helmet are really small, so order a size bigger than your real size. At high speed, you barely hear the wind, it's really quiet. It's also light so you don't feel it. The internal sun-visor is, for my opinion, a bit too light but it works really great in direct sun-light.
Using the inflatable cheek pad : The helmet having a perfect fit, I don't need the inflatable cheekpad. I found it a bit useless. But I guess depending on head sizes, you might need it or not. It's very confortable with or without it.
Shipping from sportbiketrackgear : 7/10, they could have secure the box with styrofoam or plastic instead of leaving the helmet box moove freely. Shipping was reasonnable and customer service was excellent.
Helmet itself : 8/10. For 200$ US, you can't be wrong. It's comparable to a 500$ helmet. It's really a good deal.
Here's few pictures taken with my DSLR : (Sorry for quality of the last 2 picture, nikon was on manual mode and I forgot to ajust it)
