The Scorpion EXO-R320 helmet is in my opinion the best entry level helmet out right now. I’ll go ahead and list some pros and cons for the people that don’t want to read the review all the way through.
Pros:
- Dual Density EPS Foam
- Pinlock Face Shield
- Lightweight
- Intermediate Oval (if that’s your head shape)
- Chin Curtain Included
- can be quiet or can vent well (see below)
Cons:
- no tinted shield
- shell looks a little big as I am a small
Some things that really stand out to me:
It is the same shell as the EXO-R410 which was a Snell approved helmet, while the R320 is only DOT approved. This is because of the change of the shape of the lining, trending towards an intermediate oval shape. This means you get dual density eps foam which is going to protect you better than a single layer of eps foam. This essentially means that you can buy face shields for the R410 the only downside is that face shields for the R320 come pinlock ready while the different colored visors for the R410 won’t. The helmet can both vent well and can also be quiet. You can’t really have both. A helmet that vents well is going to be loud and a helmet that is quiet is going to be hot. You can remove the chin curtain to get extra ventilation through the front. The most convenient feature from the face shield lever is the ability to crack the shield open just a smidge to allow air to vent, but keep it almost closed for eye protection. The safest feature of the face shield lever is the ability to lock the face shield down for when you hit the pavement and slide, the shield won’t open.
Overall I would recommend this helmet for anyone’s first helmet as long as you like gloss black and white or matte black. I’ve found that helmets costing more than $200 aren’t necessarily safer, they just have more comfort features. The EXO-R320 is fairly new still so replacement cheek pads should still be around by the time you need them.
Usually, I endeavor to find exactly the product I want at the best possible price. Only after a purchase where a minor issue requires interaction with customer service will you discover the culture and passion of the company that makes the product. In this case, Scorpion went well beyond my expectations with expediency and professionalism. They have instant chat messaging with their customer service team that allows immediate access to answers and solutions. I was not only impressed with their response and consideration, I let them know how rare it is to find such companies in this day and age. So, with that being said, you can shop Scorpion with absolute confidence knowing that you will not only get what you want at a great price, but also 5-star customer service. They are clearly unequivocally obsessed with customer satisfaction and earning your business for life. I look forward to the next time I need to buy something from this company. Notes: I measured for size per Scorpion's specifications and ordered just the next size up (because of the shape of my head). Initially it seemed really tight, but took no more than two times breaking it in before the cushions started relaxing a little and the fit was perfect. The smoke face shield shown in my photo is an optional accessory for the helmet and highly recommended. I also highly recommend the fog insert for the pinlock face shields. Ride safe!
Product is okay; however, false advertisement if you ask me. Pictures indicate it will have a dark face shield which isn’t the case and it’s nearly impossible to find a dark face shield for this helmet. I recommend buying another helmet that comes with a dark face shield if you want one because you aren’t going to find one for this helmet.
Great helmet. Sizing was accurate. Got the XL fits great but the cheek pads were a little tight but that could be a personal problem. I wear a 7 5/8 fitted hat and usually a XL helmet so it was pretty accurate. Was hoping it came with the smoke face shield but it does not. Comes with clear. Not sure why the pic is with smoke shield. Had to pay extra 50 to get the tinted shield.
Bought it for my son to use at indoor GoKarts F1. He loves how it fits and looks.

Description
Size:Large | Color:Black
The EXO-R320 changes the paradigm for what you think you can afford in a helmet for under $100. A LG polycarbonate shell and dual density EPS result in a lightweight and safe DOT approved full face helmet. The KwikWick II liner is moisture wicking, anti-odor, quick drying, easily removable and machine washable. Aero tuned vents on top and front of the helmet offer excellent ventilation. The Ellip-Tec Pinlock ready shield is easily removed without tools. Shown in dark shield (sold separately).
Because the shape of the helmet looks a little bit bigger, but overall is good, I don't know, but my visor keeps fogging up a lot, sounds wise is just a normal as my Bell helmet
Just bought this helment recently and a great snug fit. Very nice design and very pleased with the comfort on this helment. The only downside that it didnt come with the tinted visor it came with a clear one instead other than that it's a amazing helment for the cost of it
Biggest complaint is the amount of noise on the freeway. Not the most impressive DOT safety rating but it's also a lower price-point so you get what you pay for. Good for beginners on a budget.
Came fast works great very quiet helmet very happy
Best in quality
