I've never even heard of them. If price is a problem, look into HJC helmets. Great quality & a great price.

I'm not familiar with them either ... do you have a link? Any helmet is better than no helmet.

Sorry for bumping this thread--didn't pay attention to the date! My bad.

I bought a Zeus helmet earlier this year when I bought my 1100 Vstar--Dont know what model it is, but you push a button by the chin area and the whole face lifts up. The helmet is only DOT approved--no SNELL rating--kinda scary. It's an O.K helmet but feels a bit cheap compared to a Shoei, or HJC. Thats my $.02

None with a flip-up face shield will get a Snell rating -- the same helmet from HJC in an open face design does have a Snell rating. Go figure?

Do the Scorpion helmets have good anti fog system? If not, any suggestions on one?

Arai or Shoei are favorites.... but the pricing is high, but your cranium is too! I was going to drop some serious $$$ on a Shoei not long ago to replace my other one, but I found a match for the Repsol by KBC called the VR-2 limited and www.extremesupply.com sent it too me for $220ish which was a real deal. The helmet itself regardless of the GAUDY colors seems exceptional, but I'm curious about the impact performance. Since Matt Maladin wears a KBC VR-2, I figure it will provide the protection I need...hopefully. When I ventured past Arai and Shoei daringly, I was very critical on what many of the pros wear so: HJC, KBC, Suomy and Shark seemed to have quite a following as well! And that is what brought me to the KBC which I would never have considered in the beginning when I was just a bit more ignorant!!! Still ignorant though.
