Anybody here familiar with this helmet?

Scorpion EXO-700 Geronimo (http://store.roadridermca.com/scorpionexo700ger.html).

I recently purchased one, the same size I've always bought. I've lost a little weight over the past year but it still sits well on my head, and I get a real annoying draft right into my eyes (didn't bother me so much until I hit a dusty patch of road). No matter how I vent it, I can't seem to correct the problem.

I guess this one will get demoted to passenger.

I've updated your topic subject to include the type of helment. :coffee:
:idea: Perhaps my nazi-ness is influenced by lack of caffiene! :lol:

Oh, BTW, No, I don't know anything about this helmet. :|

I am looking at that helmet. Other then the draft how do you like it? Weight, visor, removable liner?
I was looking at their site and saw this

Do you think it would solve the problem?
Please update as I will be getting one of these or another Suomy soon and would love to save some money. :)

first off, I am not a dealer for these helmets.

I just got my new Scorpion helmet, and I love it. The face shield will not fog, the liner is removable, and there is plently of breathing. It is super comfortable, and looks really nice. I have had several helmets in the past, and I can say bar none, that this is the nicest one I have ever had.

That aeroskirt would most likely solve the problem, thanks for pointing that out, I'll give it a try.

That was my only issue with the helmet, the draft in my eyes was bad enough at 45-55 I was ready to make it my passenger helmet. Otherwise it's perfect. I'd have to reiterate Morse's responses toward the helmet. Heavy emphasis on the breathing and comfort, and affordably priced at $200.

I may roll over to Fay Myers and see if they carry that skirt.

I don't have one but I tried one on at Performance. It seemed like it had a nice fit and was good quality. But, I think I'll stick with a brand I have road tested with good results.

ive got a scorpion EXO and like it a lot. i have a big head and outta all the helmets i tried on the EXO fit the best. i tried on every helmet in XXL at APEX and none fit as well as this one. i also got the aeroskirt cause i had the same problem with wind in my eyes and the aeroskirt fixed the problem perfectly.
