I am allowed to bring back up to $400. duty free. I did claim how much I spent and since I was under the limit, no need to pay duty.

Aside from the girlie design, it is extremely comfortable. No tight spots and...glasses are easy to slide in and out.

hah, the design is the part I like.

I personally wouldn't wear it, but its cool to look at. Its girly in a bad "O Ring" kind of way.

Nice lid, Blues. Got the Badass Babe look workin'.

What shape is your head, if you don't mind me asking? I am looking for a new helmet myself, but my head is as malformed as the rest of me. The EXO-900 is on my short list, if it fits my melon. Some sort of oval seems to be about what fits me in most brands, round don't work so good for me.

Have you tried Shoei? They're definitely on the longish side, as opposed to round. I have the same problem. My HJC never fit right, and was always putting a lot of pressure on my forehead and crown.

Shoei lids are nice, haven't considered them too much as the one I like most sells for over a grand here. I just can't justify that kinda cash for a helmet (I am a cheap bastrd) if I can find a KBC or Scorpion that fits for 1/4 the price.

My KBC VR-1 fits pretty good, my HJC not so much..... What I really want is a nice modular helmet. The problem is, they all suck.....

If you like the KBC VR-1 then you will like the Scorpion EXO 400.

I also have an oval head. My Shark helmet had to be "spooned" on the forehead to ease the tight spot. My first helmet was the KBC VR-1 and was comfortable as was my Nitro. I have tried on Shoei and ------(the other expensive brand whose name I just can't recall right now...). I did not like the fit (or the price).

Sending a PM.....

Well if Scorpions fit like the VR-1, that bodes well.

Good info, Thanx Lady Blue.
