Scorpion EXO GT 3000- Enjoying my new lid...

I scoured the internet for reviews of this helmet before I bought it. I'd say the revzilla review is spot on, for the most part. Others below have complained of noise. I have no such complaint. It is more quiet than my Scorpion EXO 1100 full face helmet. It also vents noticeably better and there is less turbulence. That said, I wouldn't say it is super quiet. It is just not particularly loud. I wear earplugs for extended rides and none for shorter rides. I experience no noise discomfort in either scenario. The helmet definitely runs small. I wear an XL in most brands, and an XXL fits just right in all the Scorpions I have tried. The interior is very comfortable, but it is not quite as plush as the Shoei Neotec I almost bought. Chinstrap is extremely comfortable (nicely padded). The helmet is super light. It is the lightest helmet I have ever owned. Noticeably lighter than the Neotec. It has a nice wide field of view, and the chin bar locks securely with one hand and doesn't crowd your chin/face (like a Schuberth). The new cable drawn internal sunvisor is excellent and easily comes all the way down to the bridge of your nose. The anti fog coating on the visor works great. I have had great luck with the anti fog coating on Scorpion helmets. It seems to last about a year, and then kind of disappears all at once. I replace my visors once per season because I can't stand even trace scratches. For a fiberglass helmet, this can't be beat. It is an excellent value. I wish they had graphics, though.

Jim Figgins (Ned's) had a couple at the Iowa rally. I thought, "Damn. And I just spent the big bux for this stupid Shoei." I'm not a fan of modulars, but I like it a lot.

Mine.
Back in the day when you were either a Shoei head or an Arai head, I was an Arai head, if that helps.
