Pros: Under $200, good ventilation, optically clear no-fog shield, great aerodynamics.
Cons: As much as they say how easy it is to change shields, it is a little tricky.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: Sizing on the scorpion helmets runs a 1/2 size smaller than other helmets, but true to their charts.
I like this helmet. I was wearing an open face exo-200, which I liked, but I wanted a full face helmet to block out wind and bugs- not to mention the safety aspect. I chose this helmet over the other scorpion full face helmet, the exo-400, because I liked the 700's weight and balance, and the ventilation seemed better (I have not tried the 400 on the road). It really is as comfortable to wear as my exo-200- more so because there's not as much wind and noise. The ventilation works great, and when open does not add to the noise or change the feel of the helmet in the wind. Riding with the shield open, there is a whistle at road speeds. But I've always noticed that on helmets. It doesn't seem any hotter than the exo-200 (important in the southern US). The aerodynamics are great- it really slices through the air.
All told, I really like this helmet.
