idodishez Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Bought this a week or so ago. The extra large was too big, so I got the large. Seemed to fit ok in the showroom, but after using it on a 2 hr ride I've determined it just doesn't fit me the same as my 700. So I guess I just wasn't meant to have this cool design that matches my Monster Edition ZX6, as its only available on the 500. So, it's for sale. Still have the box, all tags, papers, helmet bag, etc. Worn only for 2 hours.

idodishez Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Bump. Still have this. Still for sale. Still only worn once. Takers? "I miss America" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Scorpion helmets do need a break in period. The fit shouldn't be painful. But if a new helmet feels too snug, it will probably break in to be just right. Edited April 10, 2014 by Tpoppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Good to know. Thanks. "I miss America" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I also have an EXO-500. Great helmet for the $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH650R Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have an exo 400 (new last season) and while it seemed a bit snug at the dealer, I decided to roll with it. I agree that after a few hrs of riding, it's not the most comfortable when it's new. I ended up taking out the cheek pads and shaved just a bit of the foam off at the tightest point of contact and then gave them a good wash. That seemed to help and it now fits very comfortably.

idodishez Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 If I remember right, mine felt like I had a walnut sandwiched between my forehead and the helmet after having it on for a few hours. "I miss America" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdubyah Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Not meant to piss in anyones ceral but I whole heartedly disagree that the 500 needs a break-in period.I bought an xl in 09. The 2xl was too loose. After an hour of riding it was miserable. That helmet pressed into my forehead so much it would cause me to get headaches. I rode with that thing for 2.5 years before I upgraded. Best decision I ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tall_tracy Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I have an exo400 and had the same forehead pinching problem which was greatly reduced when I cut my hair (my ponytail was causing the problem). Not that any of this helps you guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I had(have/still my back up)a 400 and it fits me great, only problem I had was getting my glasses in and out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdubyah Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 How long do they need to break in? It fit the same for the 2.5 years I owned it. The longer I wore that thing the worse it got.I suppose you could argue that my inner neanderthal came out, and my forehead got bigger.

max power Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Scorpions seem to have very different shapes amongst their range of models. I had a 400 that fit just fine, but the 700 was too elongated for my round bean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Perhaps one of the site sponsors could enlighten us on the differences in shape between the various scorpion models. My EXO400 was great. I actually wore it on Saturday. But it's too small, too old, and sweat-stained. I'd love to replace it with a newer scorpion model, but obviously it needs to fit my (long, narrow) head.

Tpoppa Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 ^^EXO 400 and EXO 500 fit very differently. I have both. I ordered the 500 without trying it on. Initially I hated the fit, but it broke in to be just about right.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
