Congratulations for acquiring a premium ScorpionExo®helmet.
This helmet embodies the latest, state-of-the-art design,
engineering and technology available in the market today
and is an excellent investment for your comfort and protection.
Please remember that no helmet can protect you against
all possible or foreseeable impacts even when built with
the latest and best materials and technology.
The following information will help you to enjoy and properly
care for your helmet.
A helmet’s main function is to protect your head from impact
in case of an accident. To accomplish this, a helmets surrounds
your head with a matrix of materials designed to absorb and
cushion impact energy in some accidents. A helmet is also
designed to provide you with comfort while riding at speed
and in various weather conditions. Yet, there is a trade-off:
A helmet decreases hearing sensitivity, peripheral vision and
physical movement to a certain extent while providing
protection and comfort.
It is important for maximum safety that your ScorpionExo®
helmet fit snugly and comfortably on your head with the
retention strap (chinstrap) properly and snugly fastened. With
the chinstrap firmly fastened, grab the back of the helmet with
both hands and try to roll the helmet forward. If you can roll the
helmet over the eyes, it is too loose and you should try another
size of helmet.
The faceshield on your ScorpionExo®helmet provides
protection from weather, small flying objects and wind.
Tinted shields are available to protect your eyes from excessive
sunlight. The ScorpionExo®SpeedView®internal sunvisor
system allows you to instantly tint the sunlight.
NEVER USE A DARK OR TINTED FACESHIELD OR SPEEDVIEW
VISOR IN DARK OR POOR VISIBILITY RIDING CONDITIONS.
This is not only unsafe, but also illegal in most countries.
NEVER WEAR A FACESHIELD THAT HAS BECOME SCRATCHED,
OR RIDE WITH A FACESHIELD THAT IS FOGGED BY CONDENSATION.
SCORPIONEXO®FACESHIELDS (CLEAR AND SMOKE ONLY)
COME WITH A SCRATCH-RESISTANT COATING.
Ventilation systems are designed and engineered to maximize
your comfort in a wide range of temperatures. Familiarize
yourself with the vents on your street helmet. Some vents
have detents allowing partial opening and closing, thereby
controlling intake and exhaust airflow. Your helmet ventilation
systems should be kept clear of any obstructions including
dirt, insects or other items which could interfere with proper
flow of air. The ventilation systems play an important role,
especially during physical exertion or hot-weather riding.
Ventilation helps decrease the possibility of fogging
on the faceshield.
