Scorpion's "Rivet" Helmet
This being my first motorcycle helmet I was looking for something that would provide ample protection, but not break the bank. The EXO-700 series of helmets meet SNELL standards, which means that they are tested more severely, and, theoretically, withstand more impact than a helmet that only has DOT approval. The visor detachment system is unbelievably simple to operate, can be done very quickly. I bought the Silver/Black version of the "Rivet" and it looks great... much better than photographs show. The matte finish will last longer than gloss... even though, according to some, it may not look as pretty. Sizing seems true to charts. Ventilation is good, but depending on what you ride (full fairing, half-fairing, naked) you may get a bit of whistling or pulsing when vents are open.All in all, a great helmet for the money.

Awesome helmet
People who try this helmet on seem to marvel about how it is so lightweight and comfortable. It certainly is. I've worn it for approximately 6000-7000 miles now. The visor fogs up a little bit at low speeds, especially when I have a balaclava in the cold times. Great helmet. The only thing I actually, legitimately dislike is the silver Scorpion logo on my yellow/black matte helmet.

Fits well and looks good. It has good ventilation and the shield is fast and easy to replace. The no fog coating and breath shield keep the shield virtually fogless.

Good bang for your buck
I've ridden about 800 miles with this helmet, mixed freeway and around town, and it's breaking in nicely. It has good visibility, it's comfortable, and it's pretty lightweight. Obviously, a $300 helmet has it beat in some areas, but for the price, you receive a good product. My only desired improvement would be increased airflow through the helmet when the vents are fully open.

nice lid
After doing a lot of research on helmets (COST, features, ratings, etc. etc. etc.) and just trying to find one that fit my cranium, I settled on this. It’s awesome. Scorpion has been getting a lot of press lately, and my experience thus far has been to believe the hype. Fit and finish is great. I say if you're on the fence take the plunge, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Excellent value with overall great quality
Compared to other manufacturers, this is an excellent value helmet with overall great quality. Lots of nice features: anti-fog visor works well, good ventilation on hot summer days, comfortable interior, perspiration-wicking machine washable liner. I bought the chin skirt, which has advantages and disadvantages. At a standstill, with the chin skirt, there is less ventilation and it could be a little stuffy and hot, during the summer time.

My best helmet yet.
This is a fantastic helmet. My favorite thing is the finish. All of my previous helmets have been shiny, but they quickly got scuff marks from just sitting up against something or from my passenger bumping it when I break unexpectedly. This helmet's matte finish still looks brand new a month later (I ride about 2100 miles a month) and even repels bugs really well. I have had 3 previous helmets ranging from $120 to $280 and this one has the best airflow by far. In short, great matte finish, great airflow, and nothing really bad to say about it. Great helmet!

Scorpion EXO-700 Rivet Matte Helmet
I'm very pleased with this helmet. The fit is perfectly snug but comfortable, and true to size according to my sizing experience with other helmets. Visor swapping is a piece of cake. This helmet is a true value striking a mix between a high quality helmet and affordability. I would recommend without reservation!

This is my first full face helmet. It fits perfectly and is very comfortable. The face shield does not fog, so it works as advertised. It is a good value for the price.

Great Buy!
I've had it for about 8 months, so I think I can give a quality account of it's pros and cons. It looks better in person than it does online, I was very close to getting a different lid, because I wanted yellow but I didn’t think the grey pinstripes showed up very well on it compared to the red. They are very noticeable in person. They look really tight, especially the back. It's fairly quiet, there isn't any whistle going head on, only when you turn to the side. It flows a good amount of air, I still felt ventilated when it was around 100 F. Now that it's winter, I am getting some fog on the very bottom of the shield though. I've cleaned the inside of the shield so it might have taken some of the fog stuff off. It doesn't spread though. Just tuck down and crack the shield for a minute. I've been very satisfied with mine and I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a well made, comfortable helmet on the cheaper end of the scale.

Great helmet. Very breathable. Nice in hot weather climates such as Florida. Very well built, and light weight. For the price you can't beat it!!!

EXO-700 Rivet
This is a wonderful helmet, awesome looks, superb venting and great comfort. The only downside is that it can get cold, real cold. I got the aero skirt to minimize the wind blast that comes up under the chin, but it only helped a little. I find that wearing a scarf helps when bunched up under the chin, but I still feel that chilly blast coming up my face. Other than that....it's a fantastic buy. Definitely worth it!

Great Helmet
I was looking for a helmet that had lots of vents, and bought another brand instead. After that one was dropped four times due to bad helmet construction, I went and got this. Comfortable, quiet (not to quiet with all the vents open) and well made. The engineering on this is just excellent, and the visor change is really fast, once you figure out how to do it. Buy this helmet.
