Got a new helmet...but...
Hey all, I got a new scorpion exo1000 helmet the other day. I totally love it, except for one thing, the cheekpads are a little too big. I have a XXL noggin that fits really nice in the helmet, but the cheekpads are too tight to put my glasses on. That's the only problem. The lady at the moto shop I bought the helmet at said I could try putting XL pads in the XXL place. Does anyone know where I can find XL cheekpads?

The shop should have various sized cheekpads. They should have let you try different pads and exchanged them at time of purchase for you......

Doesn't the EXO-1000 have adjustable cheek pads? Works with an air pump similar to those Nike shoes.

Yeah...it does have pump up pads...and they are really nice. I would just like a little smaller pad to start with so I can get my glasses on without worrying about bending them.
Just a note on the helmet...the exo1000 is AWESOME!!! I really like the sunshade that you can flip down on the inside of the helmet. It is far enough away from your face that you can still have glasses on. It also has about a thousand ports for airflow. My head has never been cooler. Also, all the inside parts come out easily and are machine washable.

I know what you mean about that. I've got one on mine. It saved me blindness many a time on a spring midday...Fargo360 wrote:I really like the sunshade that you can flip down on the inside of the helmet.
