scorpion helmets

[NiteW4tcher]

I use a Scorpion EXO-750, maybe no-one has noticed it has Scorpion written across the chin guard :, anyway, it has a removeable liner, inflatable cheek pads, anti-fog visor and I'm well happy with it.

this is the model i was looking at

inflatable cheek pads

Oooh, that sounds posh, be interested to see how they work.

I think the Bike Experience Helmet sponsor LS2 have the chin pad inflation and pop down sun visro on some of their models.

Are inflatable pads a comfort/fit thing, or is it to ease removal by ambulance crews if they can be quickly deflated?

Nooj,
Both! They have a small chrome button to deflate when you/ambulance peeps wanna get it off....
Anyway....

Hey NiteW4tcher,

Quality gear, picked up a catalogue a couple of years back from the NEC, was there for ages chatting to the sales guy.
He took great pleasure in bending the visor completely back on itself while I cringed in front of him waiting for it to snap – he said they’re made of the same stuff used for cockpits on F16s or something or other.
Big in America, can't believe it's taken so long to get going over here, nice to see someone else has heard of them

I was looking at the EXO-1000 tbh, it has all the bells and whistles and some of the other models you can actually customise the designs of the inserts ‘n stuff.
I don't buy rubbish and I've still got my eye on them 2 years later and it’s def on my shopping list when me OGK expires.
Good luck with it, let us know how you get on now won't you Chief Guineapig

Same idea that they had on trainers a few years back where you pump a sqishy button on the tongue and it inflates the shoe, on the helmet there is a button behind the chinguard to inflate the cheek pads and a small chrome button to deflate before removing your lid. Makes for a better fit, quite novel, and no-one knows it's there..well, they do now.

[Nooj]

Wondered if it was a similar system, cunning buggers!

Sounds good. Personally, I'd look at the helmet and make you mind up based on your fit and general impressions.
