Review on ๐Ÿ๏ธ ScorpionEXO Unisex-Adult Modular/Flip Up Adventure Touring Motorcycle Helmet (Anthracite, XX-Large) (EXO-AT950 Solid): Premium Safety & Comfort for Adventure Riders by Ryan Bowers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice helmet... not an eccentric?

In 2012 I bought an Italian Caberg double sport modular helmet. After 10 years, 5 of which I haven't ridden a bike, it's time for a new helmet. Scorpio was the top contender for the spot! Ordered, received, unpacked...and...was dissatisfied to find that the new 2022 helmet only comes with D-rings as a protection/tensioning mechanism. No mention in the description of the Revain, no hint of the quick release function etc. While the helmet itself is good, without a quick release it's no trip and return to sender. You may be wondering why... In Minnesota, driving with gloves is almost inevitable, especially in the off-season when it's cold, rainy, and snowing. I'd rather NOT mess with the D-ring release when wearing gloves. Yes, I can take my gloves off, that's right. However, for over $250, I expect some convenience, like the quick release that my 2012 Caberg had. Also, I know I can upgrade the quick release... I'm just not interested in a) messing around with another piece of perhaps the most important piece of gear and b) I'm not sure why a consumer would want to spend another $20 on a kit should piece that should be part of security design and security language from the beginning. This is very unfortunate, I really like the design/shape and weight of the Scorpion.

Pros
  • Inner fold-down SpeedView sunshade and KwikWick II liner provide all-day comfort, even when light conditions change throughout the day.
Cons
  • Expensive
