Good All Around Helmet
I wear a Klim carbon helmet touring in summertime... light but loud. I have to wear earplugs with it.<br /><br />I bought the Scorpion to replace an older GMAX helmet. I refresh helmets every 6th season as an investment in my brains that seems prudent. The Scorpion is light but heavier and warmer for fall, early spring riding. It has an inexpensive price for the safety rating it carries.<br /><br />I also had a problem with the keeper for the strap breaking before I used the helmet. Scorpion is sending me a replacement snap. Hopefully that will come soon and I can repair it.<br /><br />Fit and finish on the helmet are very good. I bought the silver/black graphic helmet and the graphics are very nice. I installed an older Sena Com unit, as my Klim has the newer 50s com mesh in it. The older is non-mesh, but only will be used for music and riding we my wife who has the same Sena. The installation of the Sena was very easy and wires hidden well. I like that the shield has detents for riding cracked on warmer days or to disburse fog. <br /><br />A disappointment is that the pinlock insert (dks107) is currently not available anywhere in the USA. To have it shipped from Europe has an almost $30 added shipping expense. I'm hopeful that the pinlock insert will be back in stock stateside for this helmet before spring riding season. That was a major disappointment.<br /><br />Fit is comfortable but tight out of the box. I'm sure that will improve as it breaks in. The padding seems to be very high quality. My Gmax loosened up to the point it would roll down on my forehead and that also was a reason not to be sad to see it go... but it was a good helmet (54s).<br /><br />Overall, the Scorption Edge is a nice helmet and I hope to get many miles from it over the next 5 riding seasons.
