I just came back from the Long Beach Motorcycle show and picked up a new Scorpion EXO 400 lid for 99 bucks. This thing fits as good as my Suomy and feels the same. I think these lids are very underrated.

I'm not sure what the 700 or 1000 difference is supposed to be, but if it's venting they can keep it. I need this for quiet commuting.

Its the same as the 7oo, just cheaper. Get the chin skirt, worth the $$$

I can't believe they're still selling that, they came out with it 6-7 years ago

What exactly is it called, chin shirt? If it's something to keep the wind off my neck I already have one of those furry nexk things, but it still blows air in certain places. Got any link?

It's prolly why it was only 99 bucks. :lol:

700 and 1000 have the air bladder adjustment, 1000 has the integral retractable sun visor.

Have had 2 Scorpions, quite, comfy and feel good, best fit for my head. The only gripe I have is that the temple pads are thick, so I have to use a heavy frame for my glasses or they pinch and bend the crap out of the frames

chin skirt goes under the chin bar, keeps wind from going up from under the chin bar, and lowers the noise inside the helmet. Its like $10, im on my cell or I would link for you, look at the scorpion website

I have one, it's really great but damn they are snug. The visors get dinged quickly and easily. I've seen them online for ~70 bux, prob will pick up another (in a bigger size) next time I see that.

I have the exo-1000. Fits nice when on, but good god it feels like I'm squeezing my head in and out of a vag. Rug burns the hell out of my ears.

The 400 was my first helmet. I loved the anti-fog visor. But it definitely lacked venting. I discovered this once I bought a Shoei. Good budget helmet though, for sure.

Newenough has had a couple models for about 70. One of them is 50 at the moment. Nice helmets, just a wee bit weird fitting for me.

I hate dealing with ebay unless I need a part that is real cheap or something you cannot find.

True...taking the thing off feels like a rug burn.

Different cheek and ear pads are available as kits (I think they're $19.95)

The EXO1000 has three shell sizes (XS-S, M-L, XL-XXL).
While the top pads won't interchange, the cheek and ear pads will; that' how I got mine to fit right.
The EXO400 - 750 use two shell sizes (S-M, L-XL) and the cheek and earpads for those will interchange as well. Just remember that the snug fit is good; just ride more so you don't have to take it off as often:idk:

No it actually fits very well....just for some reason the cheek pads don't slide on your face all that great.
