My girl loved her Scorpion Black Dalhia Exo-700, but she has never worn a Shoei yet either...

The Scorpion helmets always let in too much air around my face... In the winter and colder months... it was very bad to ride in that helmet. My nose and lips always felt like they were about to fall off... Although the 700's were much lighter than the 400... they were still very noisey and had a decent amount of weight to them.

I currently have 2 Shoei RF-1000's and a HJC Draco... I wear the Draco the most just because my girl has the matching helmet in pink and I dont really care about that helmet as much. My Shoei's on the other hand... are super quiet, extremely well fitted, and extremely light... Although, I have not had the chance to check out a Vega, Aria or a shark yet... I want to... but as for now.. the Shoei's are by far the best helmets that I have put in my noggin.

I have an HJC CL-SP and a Shoei RF-1000 and I must say the difference is Night/Day..

I prefer Shoei over and Arai personally just because of the shape and design. But compared to the HJC its HELLA Lighter/Quieter/Better balanced
