That has been on here before and it is  just as good now as it was then. I still think it should be put into and FAQ or something so people can read it before they buy.

In the future, there may be yet another interesting development. I read recently where they have developed football helmets with embedded impact sensors. More costly I'm sure, but the devices provide physicians some data on just how much of an impact has been experienced by the wearer and aid in their treatment, or advice on how long they should refrain from participation to enable proper recovery.

Duster Ive heard good things about the Scorpion. Very similar to the Shoei apparently. One difference is that the Scorpion is made in China whereas Shoei made in Japan.

How is it as a helmet? Light? Vents? Feedback!
