OP - Thanks for the motorcycle related post; these are always welcome.

I think I have this helmet. If so, I'll come back and post my thoughts.

I do have this helmet. I like Scorpion helmets. This is my third or fourth. The price, quality, fit, features, etc align with my needs...YMMV.

I won't bother to mention all the good things about this helmet. Here are the things that I have noted.
- It was killing my ears on multi-day long distance rides. I removed the speaker pocket covers, and all is well now.
- I haven't found any need for the air adjustable fit feature after trying it multiple times. I leave it without any air pressure.
- I normally wear a size large in Scorpions. This helmet is tight in a large. Maybe bordering on too tight. After about 10 full days or more of riding, it's become acceptable.

All helmets add a size to the original one after a few months of wear. Fun fact.

I'd caution buying this one. It is not as light as it should have been using the claimed material.

I love Scorpion, but they've got to be discontinuing these older models that don't meet the new ECE 22.06 specs. They're very good helmets, but higher standards should mean better models are on the horizon.

By the way, I love the adjustable fit air pumps. As your helmet breaks in, you can get some of that original snugness back.

Also, while this is a good deal, these can be had for closer to $330 on the regular. You're saving money, but not really $150.

I've been wearing one of these for a year. I have five helmets - an old HJC I bought for pillions, a Shark Skwal, a GT Air which was my daily. Then I have two of these - one for me and, because I like it so much, one for pillions.

I like this helmet more than the original GT Air. I haven't compared to the new GT Air but, with this price difference and performance, why would I? The weight is awesome. I never want a helmet heavier than this one, though my understanding is that the new requirements are going to raise weights across the board. Sucks. I'm more concerned about neck damage than marginal impact protection (if I need that impact protection, good chance my neck is screwed anyway, in which case, just cave my head in and be done with it).

The only thing that bugs me about it is that I get some helmet lift on the interstate. That said, I ride a naked GSX-S 750, and I've never tried the other helmets on this bike. At minimum, the bike is at least a part of my problem.

If you don't need a drop visor, there might be better and lighter options. For me, the drop visor is non-negotiable.

I would 100% buy this helmet twice. In fact, I did.

gsx-s750, fun bike. had a gsxs 1000 naked for a few years, sold it/ bought the 1000gt+. that said, I switched over from bell to shoei rf1200 that a friend had and gave me, and its awesome. it reduced all the wind noise and such.

I like it but curious if the Reebok style bladder pump at the chin is going to create issues. I'm on the fence, I do need to buy a new helmet to replace my current Scorpion Exo. Hmm.

I wonder if this is a problem with all Exo's? My Exo exhibits helmet lift as well. I currently ride an XSR900 and on the highway or higher speeds, definitely have to deal with helmet lift.

With helmet lift you don't have to worry about the weight of the helmet.
