Very good helmet
Fit is incredible. Went 8 hours of continuous wear on the road on the first day of ownership. No headaches or other common complaints. Merely took it off and noticed nothing different. That being said, moisture tends to get on the inside of the visor during rainy weather, so be careful how you set the vents. I plan on trying out the scorpion aero skirt to see if that helps mitigate this. I got the matte black and have had problems with light scratches on the finish by leaving it on the helmet holder on the bike. Further damage has been caused by just putting it down on the top, leading to minor, but noticeable, pits in the finish. Vents seem to work well enough, and I've never found myself uncomfortably hot when on the highway. Weight is a bit greater than some other helmets, but given its DOT and Snell certification for a very reasonable price, its hard to argue against that. Finally, the visor release mechanism feels and sounds pretty bad and I am just waiting for the mechanism to break. Removable lining, decent features, comfort, fit, and great visibility mean I will use this helmet for a long time.

not impressed
I've had this helmet for 2 years now. It was my first. It's held up well and still looks good but has its down sides. First of all it is really heavy. Second the vents don't work at all. I can't feel any difference with the vents open or closed. I'm looking for a new one and it won't be a scorpion.

Great Helmet.
I purchased the Matte Black version of this helmet. I could not be happier. The fit is awesome and the shield is equally great. I've driven in all different riding conditions and have had no problem with it fogging up at all. (Just don't use Windex or any other non-approved cleaning solution to clean shield)) It is very comfortable even after long hauls. Great ventilation too. This is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it.

Fits true to size. No whistle while riding with the visor open. Visor switches are so easy I can change it with helmet on head.

great bang for the buck
A full face helmet is key for me and I am very pleased with this helmet. Truly anti-fog. I am considering the aero skirt for the upcoming colder weather.

Good Helmet
I’ve been riding with this helmet for about 4 months now and I only have small complaints. I like to ride with the shield up and sunglasses on but there is no gap for the glasses arms so they get pressed against my temples and after a while the pressure gets to me. The top of head pad has three ridges which gives me really messed up helmet hair, but I put a piece of foam up in there which helped out a bit. It does not have great aerodynamics, my head gets pushed around some, most when looking over the shoulder. The fabric on the bottom 3 pads is starting to fray a bit but looks like it will be fine for while. Other than that the helmet has good venting, good anti fog, looks good, you can take off the big silver S on the front, and changing shields is quick and easy.

Great Helmet
I've been using this helmet for a couple weeks now and it is great! It fit well right out of the box. I had to order online because I couldn't get a 3XL locally. I love the matte black color and there is very little wind noise. It never fogs and has great visibility. A tremendous value for the money. Shipping was very affordable, even to Hawaii and it came quickly. I would definitely buy this helmet again.

I like this helmet a lot so far. It looks and performs very well. It was delivered on time and I would order again from Motorcycle-Superstore.

Excellent bargain...
I researched helmets quite a bit before I bought this one. The EXO-400 is a polycarbonate helmet, this means it does a better job at absorbing impact as compared to a costlier, Kevlar helmet. The downside? It's heavier, and I'd say in a noticeable manner.
One other huge advantage - it simply does not fog. Admittedly I've used this only in the warmer months, but it does get pretty cool in the mornings where I live (think mid 50s).
Overall, I highly recommend this product.

Good helmet, good price
The ups are it fits and feels good now. It looks very good and feels of high quality. It is quieter than my Shoei X-11. I got the matte black with light smoke shield, and I think it is pretty cool with my XR1200. I recommend it highly, especially when on sale!

My third Scorpion helmet
This is my second EXO 400. I ordered an XL this time and it fits perfectly. My experience is that the EXO 400's run a little smaller than the EXO 700's (I have both). I think these helmets offer exceptional value for this price. I can see no real difference from helmets costing 2 aand 3 times as much, and I have owned them all!

Scorpion - EXO-400 Solid Helmet Review
I think that for the price and all the features this helmet is a great deal. The only compliant is the fit. Before I purchased the helmet I read other reviews talking about the fit. I didn't listen. It does fit tight. But I think after time it will start to mold to my head. I suggest to get a size bigger than you think you might need. Over all it's a great helmet and worth buying.

This is a great helmet for the cost I like the way it looks and feels, it does fit snug and you may require a larger size then you normally would, overall I would buy it again.

Scorpion EXO-400 Helmet
The Black Matte finish is prone to minor scratches and buffs. The fit is small; I recommend buying a size larger helmet as the padding is thick. In case of a bad fit, the padding is removable and can be purchased for a small expense. Overall, the helmet is of good quality and worth the price.

Very comfortable, a lot of air circulation, and a little bit of noise when riding over 90mph. Good helmet.

Solid, Safe, Basic Helmet applicable in situations others are not.
Its a solid helmet with all the best safety ratings as other higher priced models. It's Basic because it's not bike specific, meaning it can be worn on a sport bike or a cruiser, there is no style differentiation. It's applicable in situations others are not because A) it can be worn while riding a cruiser. B) at night the lens change is extremely easy, four full seconds and I’ve changed the visor from black to clear. C) I wear ear buds when I ride, (think iPod headphones). Unlike other helmets this helmet seemed to have ample room around the ears while maintaining its snug fit around the head. Overall I don’t know why you would spend more on a helmet, this is my third Scorpion Exo 400, and two are still in use. They are VERY durable, well made, simple and well vented. I especially like the matte finish helmet as not to many helmet manufactures offer this finish. The interior is soft and plush.

Helmet fine once I got it
Helmet is awesome. Original order was on 5/28, received 6/20. Had to send back for returns and got two sizes larger. Scales for helmet not correct, add 2 sizes no matter what. Return was simple but form said they would return money and create a new order for larger size without any interaction from customer. Waited 1 week and 4 days and heard nothing. Had to call and they needed 3 digit # from credit card to place other order. Hmmmm...How long did they have the return in the first place before I called? Never will know because when 'they' read this it will never make it to the 'review' site / comments anyway. So the other order for the larger size was entered and received helmet on 7/10/2008. So, if you have 1-2 months to wait for an awesome helmet then get this Scorpion - EXO-XXX from this site.

Scorpion - EXO-400 Solid Helmet
This helmet is very good looking, and flows through the air very smoothly. I have used it in temps from 33F to 98F and the No-Fog shield works like a champ. I also like how easy it is to remove the shield. Good design, good price. Big thumbs up!!

Want fish lips?
Want fish lips? Then buy the Scorpion. The helmet was great except for the fit around the cheeks. I ordered a medium (which fit my head fine) but it gave me fish lips from the pads poking into my cheeks. Later I tried a large at a motorcycle show with the same results.

Scorpion EXO-400 Helmet
This is the best helmet I've owned in thirty plus years of riding. It is very comfortable fit and Snell approved. For the money you can't go wrong. I also own the EXO-200 open face for use in summer. This is also a great helmet for those who don't want the full coverage. Both have easy to use faceshields that don't fog and stay in place when in any open position. This is great for additional ventilation on the full face.

scorpion helmet
I did a lot of research and tried on a lot of helmets. Now after riding with the Scorpion 400 I can say it was money well spent. I’m not a full face rider but wanted a little more for the winter. The Scorpion fits better right off than any of the many I tried and the materials seem top quality. Also the fog free face shield works! I don't think you can find a better helmet spending even much more money. And talking to the Scorpion folks on the phone... they back their products 100%. Try it... yo
