EXO 100 Half Helmet

[schoeney]

It was 83 degrees here today (you listening CJ?) so I got my first chance to pull out the new Scorpion half helmet.

I have never worn anything but full face in all my years of riding dirt + street bikes. It was a little weird to say the least.

I felt a little naked without the chin bar and my nice quiet "cocoon". When all of you would say how noisy your Nomads were I thought I must have got a "quiet" one but with the half helmet I find out I didn't! ;)

I will need to get some earplugs when wearing this cap.

On the plus side I have better peripheral vision and I can hear traffic as it comes up on either side of me.

This helmet has one of those "drop down" visors that tucks away nicely when not in use.....I couldn't really think of when I would use this feature as I will be wearing some type of safety or sunglasses at all times anyhow. Oh well the visor may come in handy hose 2-3 times a year I lose or sit on my sunglasses

Needless to say this is a lot cooler and much more airflow than my EXO 400 FF.

I bought this to beat the heat, I already have the EXO 400 FF that I am real happy with, and my neighbor has been telling me how much he loves his EXO 100.

Scorpion helmets just seem to be a good fit for my odd shaped head.

If you are looking for a half helmet this is worth checking out. It runs $110 most everywhere (in gloss black..$120 for other colors).
