Just some quick thoughts on the new EXO-500 I'm using...
Pros:
- Excellent build quality, paint quality and quality of vents and snaps
- Lightness and bulk much improved over the EXO-400; nearly the same weight as my old Arai Vector and feels very un-bobblehead..ish
- Excellent quality of liner materials, very plush and very comfortable
- Quite quiet with no noticeable whistles or aero 'booms' when riding (so far)
- I can see the retractable sun shade being useful
- Inflatable cheek pads are useful to me as I like chipmunk cheeks
- Anti-fog is fantastic where I live
Cons:
- The 'EverClear' visor system is still lacking in optical clarity, especially on rainy nights.
- Visor locking mechanism a bit hard to find and a little bit flimsy
- Not Snell certified if that means anything to you. It is ECE certified though.
I'll update with more cons when they come to me.
This thing is excellent value and I think it's better than a lot of more expensive helmets.
I purchased mine from extremesupply on eBay at $170 shipped. Choose the 'Or Best Offer' option and save $30 over everyone else almost instantly
