I like the flip down visor and the inflate in the 1000...

Jock, happy with it?

I have two of their hemlets but I do not wear them often.  However when I do I have been pleased with the product.

I tried a Scorpion 1000 on while in Daytona this past week. The 1000 has a slightly larger shell than the 400/700 which is a bonus as it fits me better. The flip down shield is nice if it aligns with your field of sight. I found that it ended a little to short for me. This is something that I may or may not like when riding. I do wear glasses as it tends to keep the debris out of my eyes. I even wear clears as opposed to just using the clear shield. I'm considering picking one up and having it painted as Scorpion doesn't have much in the way of graphics.

yeah, they do lack colors!  I was going to go the silver route...chrome"ish" and goes with Gold and Red...

Thanks for the feedback - I can get one for retail - 10% at the local dealer and may be able to beat it down a bit more with the "season" ending

I have 2 friends with the Scorpion helmets and they both swear by them.  One of them has the 1000 and he showed me where the speakers go in the helmet, so yes you have a place for speakers.  I liked the flip down inner shield (I think they call it the "speed shield") and my friend told me he doesn't have to worry about sunglasses at all then.  I suppose, as someone else mentioned, it may not be it the perfect field of vision for everyone, but it sure looked like it dropped down far enough that it should work for about anyone.  Anyway, this is all second hand knowledge that I'm tossing out here.

I had looked around and I didn't find anyone giving anything off on these, so you are probably doing well to find 10% off.  I checked ebay also, and found them selling on there for full retail.

Bought the 1000 for the ride to Maggie valley while on the highway.  First full helmet and it was great.  On those chilly mornings, it still fogged up a bit but cleared while moving.  Condensation (not fog) built up on the bottom of the shield if I had the shield closed.  This helmet has a feature where you push the small lever and it raises the shield about 1/2" which is enought to stop the moisture build up.  I did a bit of shopping and for $329 it is a good value.

Was thinking hard this morning about an Exo - was raining and 42 and my visor was just one huge fog mess.

I hate cold weather, but I hate cold rainy weather the most. 

Might have to concede and drive to work Thur and Friday - supposed to be 18 Friday morning, that is just too damn cold to ride.

I haven't tried it yet, but my buddy at the dealer swears by this product.

Fogcity  - Fog shield

This link is one of many googles

The price has kept me away, but after spending $30 at last years NYC motorcycle show on products that did not work I'll be trying it this spring.
