Member Contributer 2thdr Posted June 12, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 12, 2011 I used to like my EXO-1000 until I realized that every time it rains I get an annoying drip on the bridge of my nose...I think the vent above the visor is leaking even when closed. Not cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cool... I have a exo400, the best rain and fog helmet when it was new. Now its a dry helmet, the air damn over the visor broke off and in heavy rain it runs down inside of visor. I have to replace, luckily, mostly drought hear for year or so. The ex700 is the same helmet only with a composite shell,, I think Im ready to play with a shoei or Aria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another issue with the Exo 1000 is that there is no real ventilation, you get all these vents but they really don't work all that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I traded my EXO 1000 for a 400 which I like very much for design and fit. I hated the noise and the weight of the 1000. Actually my first helmet, EXO700 is still my favorite though I got a 750 because I like the gadgets and the graphics. Shoei never fit right on my head and its expensive so I left it in the story. I have fog free light tint visors on all of them. That settles the need for a drop down visor, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Went with the Shoei Quest ...The brand and the weight of the helmet is what sold me ....Not the best graphics in the world imho but i can live it ....I'll report back on the "wind noise factor" of course ...

Member Contributer Ranger77 Posted June 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 26, 2011 The exo 1000 does get heavy on long trips. Thankfully my mind is constantly wondering so I forget about it. I also consider the helmet to be loud by my standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer HiDesertMLB Posted June 26, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 26, 2011 avoid the scorpion 1000 , its too heavy Agreed- it's heavy. Bought an EXO-1000 a year ago, and I'm not impressed at all. Helmet seems to be coming apart: top vent coming off from the shell, broken cheek pad. Save up for the Shoei- no issues w/ their helmets.
