Title: Scorpion helmet
Post by: Destro on July 06, 2005, 04:23:01 PM
Just wanted to tell everyone about my experiences with this company.  I had a "mishap" with one of the retaining clips for the visor and lost the springs that hold it in place.  I emailed the company to make sure the part they had on their website would remedy my problem.  They sent me out a complete new set for both right and left for free!! :thumb:   So anyone in the market for a new helmet, I can't recommend Scorpion any higher, great fit, features and customer service.  :cheers:   Have a great day.

Looks like from the accident pics posted today from Davidpu, they hold up pretty well in a tumble too.

And they're cheap too!

I love mine...  I just wish I could figure out the single vent on the forehead...  Which way is open?   :dunno:

I just looked - it seems to be to the right, as you're wearing it.  I'll try it when I actually have wind coming at me.

I thought it was to the right when looking at it...  :dunno:

I tried left, right, and center while riding...  Didn't feel a difference.

Maybe if I had the little chin-spoiler-thingy I'd notice...  Maybe not. :dunno:

I was looking at my sister's (Shoei?) helmet and all of her vents are pretty damn obvious...  But, they still took the time to include the vent in the literature.  Scorpion didn't have anything about vents...   :(

Love my Scorpion helmet.  I tried on the rest (in my price range) and it was BY FAR the best from what I could tell.  The pics of the tumble are reassuring as well.  Great to hear that the customer service department is on top of things as well.

But i happened across a Suomy helmet still in the box unused for $150.

It retails for $500  :mrgreen:
