Anyone ever tried a Scorpion helmet?

Something like that (not the colour nor visor) http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/c... for example?

Are they well made, last the distance, comfy? Is airfit a gimmick or makes a genuine difference to the noise level?

Thinking about one for 100 miles commute.

We sell them at work. They are good helmets IMO. Nicely made, good fitting and full of features. I do get tempted by them often but not enough to tempt me away from my current Arai and Shoei yet.

Don't think I'd bother with the Airfit, they fit me well anyway.

Try one, I was pleasantly surprised. I really like them but it's hard to convince a lot of people because they haven't heard of scorpion despite a lot of top level riders wearing them.

May be helpful, or not, but Amazon are doing some big discounts on some Bell helmets at the moment.

They are good - well made, quiet and plush enough lining. Look a bit 'round' giving a UFO type look, but decent enough helmets.

Wow... nearly £320 off a full carbon job, not bad at all! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bell-Helmets-7050646-Stree...

Might be making a sneaky purchase.

Ah, missed the bargain thread!

Will check on there in a mo, but does anyone know from experience what the Bell's come up like on size? The chart on Amazon says I am borderline L and XL - I'm a L Arai...

I had decided to buy one of Anazons M6 Carbons until I spotted that the size I need (Small) is £40 more than the others!!! Then I found the Bell Star Carbon Union and I'm trying to justify the cost to myself with man maths!

Whilst I like their designs, it seems Bell don't take pinlock inserts which is a must on my 'must-have' list.
