Contact: scorpionusa.com The first thing that struck me about the Fiore was its sexy looks. I get compliments everywhere I go! Scorpion did a great job with the graphics by making the helmet look like a woman's lid without being too foo-foo girly. I like a bit of attitude in my gear.
Beyond the looks the EXO-700 design has function too, especially the ample ventilation. I have worn it in summer and winter weather and it's comfortable in both extreme temperatures. I have a noisy commute and it manages to stay fairly quiet compared to the chaos going on around me. The no-fog windscreen is great on my cold mornings or when I've been caught in the rain.
The cheek pads have cool graphics with plenty of padding, and I like that they are removable for washing. Their fabric covering has worn down a bit quicker than I expected though. I wear contacts when I ride and it is very important to have a helmet that keeps the direct airflow from shooting into my eyes. Although it didn't have the optional chin curtain, it does do a great job at keeping most of the incoming air to a minimum. Overall the Fiore is very comfortable, sexy and has many impressive features, especially for the price!
