Your motorcycle helmet can be the difference between life and death and one of the most crucial considerations when you buy a helmet is that it fits you correctly.

That’s where the Scorpion EXO-1000 (pronounced as ‘ex-oh’ I believe) has a major advantage, with a new and innovative solution to comfort and safety using advanced helmet technology.

Where the EXO-1000 really differs is in its unique Airfit system. This is basically an air bladder situated behind each cheek pad that the wearer is able to inflate via an unobtrusive pump inside the chinbar.

This continually ensures a great fit and also helps to reduced wind noise. One press of another neatly hidden button and the Airfit system deflates to make removal easier.

Another exceptional feature of this lid is the outer shell. This is made of a tri-fibre composite of fibre glass, Kevlar and Dyneema - claimed to be the Worlds strongest fibre – so all in all, one damn tough hombre!

For added comfort there is a kwickwick inner liner which wicks moisture quickly and effectively away from the riders head.

The Everclear anti fog visors are made in Canada. I reckon those boys know a thing or two about riding in the cold and the system works exceptionally well without the need for a secondary insert and you can whip the visor off in seconds when the need arises.

There is also an internal sun visor, which can prove priceless, especially at this time of year.

The model shown here is the Sublim, which has a very high quality and unusual matt and gloss dual paint scheme. There are other colour variations too all of which are finished to the same superb standard and all of which look just as sexy!

What more can I say. I sell motorcycle helmets everyday so it takes a lot for something new to impress me but I can honestly say that the EXO-1000 has done exactly that.

Scorpion helmets also come with a 3 year warranty.

I recently spent a couple of days up at Frank Thomas at the new ‘all under one roof’ premises, getting to grips with their new Spring / Summer 09 range and I gotta say that I was bloody impressed!
