By Steve from New Jersey, USA on 06/17/2008
Pros: Never having owned a helmet before a friend recommended the Scorpion for safety and ventilation, which he says he has never had a problem with fogging, and he rides in all kinds of weather.
I also wear glasses so the built in SpeedView sun glasses made the purchase a lot easier. I have had to use the SpeedView and had no problem closing or opening it while riding.
I was riding on one of the hottest days we have had in New Jersey and the vent system worked great. I always kept the face shield closed while riding and my head never sweat. Even when doing slow speed practice in a hot parking lot with the face shield open I still never got hot in it.
I bought the Apollo Silver and it looks a lot better in person than it does in the photo shown.
I am very satisfied. I could have bought a better known brand for about a third less money (on clearance), but this one fit better and has a lot better features. And I think it looks better too.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
Cons: The only thing I would like to see is a polarized SpeedView.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: They measured my head as Large, but I could not fit in any large helmet by any manufacturer. I bought an X-Large and it fits very well. Very snug and very comfortable.
