And the arai costs more, so it MUST be better than both of them. I mean, how many times have you heard "how much is your head worth?" |

Seriously those helmets look cool, the Nolan Air, NEXX and the evoline are definately neeto cool beans helmets, but they just look a little too much out there for me. I was looking at something more simple that I can flip up on hot days or when I'm just sitting there. I really dont need all those crazy features that are cool, but I would never use. I think I'm back where I started with the HJC, Scorpion, or Nolan traditional flip front helmets. In fact the scorpion is at the top of my list because tehy fit much better than most other helmets I have worn, although I havnt yet tried on the HJC or nolan modulars

Oh no I'm not saying more money=more better... I'm saying I've owned both Scorpion lids and Shark lids and Shark is better regardless of price.

Scorpion EXO 900... Bought one back a few months ago and I love it. Very little wind noise, aviator visor definately a plus... could use a little better ventilation but still not a problem even down here in the dirty (not to mention hot and damn humid) South...

I have a Nolan regular modular. Simply feels like the best quality helmet I've ever touched. Way nicer than any Arai or other high end super bike helmet. The fit and finish is superior.
Other thing to consider. When I bought the Nolan I bought it for quality feel and also if you put the helmet under your arm and squeeze it front to back. The spot where the flip latches doesn't bulge like many others. So therefore IMO less likely to fail if you ever tried to get your head squished or face plant. Further, the latches were all metal on both side of the latch. Another piece that made me feel that it wouldn't come apart in a crash. |

I bought the HJC, $75, somebody stole the pads out of it and they sold it to me as is without the pads. The store down the street had the pads for $15.
Overall its not bad, the vents are positioned really funky and I dont see it being too good at letting air in and out, other than that it seems pretty solid, locks good, stays up, the glass didnt fog when i breathed on it hard. I'm gonna take it for a ride before I give it a full review but so far for the priice I got a good deal

Some asshole said this to me today as I was shopping for a new helmet and was looking at Scorpions.

there should be an age limit for that helmet, 86 would be a good number. GAY
