Well after putting one of my bikes down July 11th last year. I hadn't been back on a bike. Messed up my hands, elbows and shoulders from impacting face first the back side of a ditch.
Anyways, the ground and my face broke the front plastic of my helmet, full face luckily. I've had the half shells and pea skins/brain buckets in my earlier Harley days. Gotta be cool, right?!
No biggie really, I was in the market for a new helmet anyways. Pretty sure Zi got eight years out of that old Scorpion...
Picked up another Scorpion actually. Didn't intend too, but also had great experience with them in the past.
EXO-AT960
Fully modular helmet. Has one of these styles in the past and quite noisy.
Well this helmet is not as noisy as I would have thought. Once again, love the pilots inner shade shield (I wear glasses).
Face shield as advertised so far hasn't fogged up. This morning ride to work was 32 degrees and did just fine.
The fit is great, although a size smaller than what I would normally wear.
The intercom/blue tooth system is a first for me. Had to install myself, which wasnt as easy as they would lead you to believe but I got it done. It works great. Haven't answered a phone call while riding, but EVH sounds pretty damn great!
Usually opt for a plain black or flat black helmet, but this one I actually opted for the graphics. Looks great.
The helmet venting so far I don't think is on par with earlier Scorpion helmets I have owned.
Also, in the cons list Id add that I have a hard time getting my hands up there to tighten the chin strap. Been strapping helmets for a very long time and never have had this much trouble, I like a snug chin strap.
One more con, having a hard time unfolding my ears when I put the helmet on.
Oh and second ride and already dropped the helmet. Got my first two scuffs and a couple dings on the new face shield, ugh. Guess I should be glad I didn't just ding a new guitar lol...
So far, two rides and I am fairly happy.
Keep the rubber side down!
