I have an EXo 700 and love it. It never fogs up and is much more comfortable than the HJC that I tried on. It is a little bit heavier than my buddies Shoei but again I did not pay anywhere close to what he did on his helmet. If I had to buy another helmet I would defiately buy another. People are always asking me about it too, not many seen around here.

How about the sizing? Is it close to the HJC sizes, I know some helmets differ in sizes

They are close to HJC, but I found them to run a bit smaller. I was a small in a fulmer, and ended up being a medium in scorpion. Definately have to recomend the helmet though, was less then half the cost of the shoei's i was looking at, and on top of that, it was available in flat black.

I have the Exo-700 CrackHead. It is a great helmet. Very breathable, never fogs up, and is very comfortable for me. They do run a bit small. Try going to a dealer that carries them and try it on. The price was very competitive considering the features, and I do recommend.

Bar none, The scorpion 700 is the best helmet i've worn. It fits perfectly, they do run small however. I've never worn a helmet where the vents actually had so much effect on the airflow. Never had it fog up on me, although i do live in FL so it doesnt really have a chance to. Ive worn a KBC, HJC, Shoei, and Arai and this one is by far my favorite.

For the price, comfort and features dont bother lookin anywhere else. Plus they have some tight graphics, I have the blue raider.

i have a HJC and was thinking bout replace CL15 for a scorpion 700 or maybe the 400. How is it compared to weight. heavier lighter the same? Also forget how cool it looks, have anyone had these crash tested. Buddy of mine works for AMR and has see some shit. He said of all the crashes he has been to the only helmet that actually did wut it was supopsed to was a shoei. sory bout any typos...i am working graveyard shift and am really tired

I have a 700, and I really like it. Unfortunately, I do not like the fit of Shoei or Arai, so I went with some internet reviews of the Scorpion and got lucky. It fits really well, but it may be a little heavier than some people like. For me, it is not a problem. Once you get used to swapping the face shields, it is really easy to do. I have a mirrored one for day and the clear for night.

once the helmet is snell n dot approved its ok . it all depends on what kind of crash you are in .goin at certain speeds you hit something head first no matter the type of helmet it will not be pretty. helmets are made to crack open basically when involved in a collison where your head takes a blow . this is so they absorb most of the impact .like every other piece of gear it is a precaution

Both the 400 & 700 are bar none the best helmet for the money, even better than some of the bigger names top of the line helmets. The only helmet I prefer over the Scorpion is the Shark RSR2, but I use the the Scorpion for race duty and the Shark for street.

They crash well too:

Low-side last year looked like this, but I walked away with not so much as even a headache:

And a Highside this year, also no headache of any kind:

Just picked up two EX0-700's for next year as well.

+1 to Jason's post, I've crash tested 2 scorpions and wil continue to buy them

I actually like the weight, its a decent bit heavier than my AGV TiTech but for some reason the lightweight helmets give me the feeling that they're loose or something
plus the anti-fog visor on my scorpion works better than any high end helmet I've tried
