Newcomer Scorpion Helmets has a very nice looking selection of helmets at very reasonable prices. They have newest DOT and SNELL certifications but how do they rank qualitywise? Anyone use these? Here are a few by the way....

I ordered the Fury a couple weeks ago. If it ever comes in, I'll let you know. There are some reviews of it from people that actually own them at http://www.motorcyclegearreview.com

Scorpion EXO-700
Product strengths: Exceptional quality - construction & function. This helmet is everything the company says it is. The anti-fog is the best I have ever used. The Quick release visor allows me to change shields (clear to tinted which is also fog free) while the helmet is still on my head & yes...in less than 10 seconds. The shield stays put where ever you put it & is spring loaded so you get a "mercedies benz door shutting sound" when closing the shield.
The graphics are pretty cool. The liner is fully removeable and washable and replaceable with up to 5 different patterns. I have a checker board liner on order and only $34.95 The venting is excellent as well. It absolutely blows HJC away and is better than any shoei I've ever worn.
Product weaknesses: No failsafe on the visor—so make sure it is properly seated when changing shields.
I wish there was one more detent when first opening the shield, just enough to make a small crack.
Overall Opinion: In my opinion this helmet has the most features & is the best value on the market today. The helmet has only been available since the 3rd week of June, so the press has not caught up with it yet.
I suspect reviews should start popping up around Oct/Nov issues.

I've looked at these quite a bit recently, and am tempted to by a matching pair for me and my girlfriend, but would like to try them on first. I really like the Octane design, but the 700 series has kevlar in the shell, the 400 series doesn't. I hate to sacrifice safety for appearance reasons. I'm sure both are good since they are Snell certified, but times like this I wish Snell had ratings, like 3 "stages" to show the level of protection it gives, with 3 being the highest.
