Been using this helmet for over a month now for road and off-road adventure riding. Absolutely love this helmet and the looks of it too.
Pros: Quality, value, flip open, easy to use sun visor and comfort. So many riding options and being able to flip open the helmet with sun visor or main visor open or closed is awesome. The styling and color if the helmet is sleek and rugged. I get a lot of compliments about the helmet. Feel safe in it too. Chin straps are padded and well thought out. Easy to open and close vents (2 total). Visor is very easy to open/close as well and blocks full on sun.
Cons - ventilation while fully closed is ok but I simply crack open the visor or use the sun visor with main visor open to cool off. At stops you can quickly flip open and close the helmet too. I have a slim face/cheeks so fit is perfect and snug (use size chart). If you have chubby cheeks then it will be snug and you may want to consider smaller cheek pads that I believe are available to purchase.
This helmet looks great, I really like the anthracite! I used the sizing chart for Revzilla but ordered from amazon because of faster shipping with prime. I feel that the sizing chart is close to being correct as the helmet fit my head well. However, the check pads are really tight against my face. I have read in another review that you can swap the original size check pads for the next size up. I haven't found anywhere else that supports that claim. If anyone who has swapped for different sized cheek pads let me know!
Overall this is a really cool helmet. I would recommend it any type of rider as it can serve all kinds of riding off-road to touring. Thanks for reading and ride safe!
All around great helmet. I have had another one for years, got this one as a backup/passenger helmet. It is a little heavy but fits great and looks awesome. I like to remove the visor and put the smoke lens on - makes it look unique and like a fighter pilot helmet! Now i just wish they made a transitional lens!
Very nice Adventure helmet for the money. Compares quite easily with a $900 Schubert.
Took this on an adventure ride with a couple minor spills and the latch for the sun visor broke. No scratches on the helmet, just a broken latch rendering the sun visor useless

Description
The EXO-AT950 can be used as a full face ADV helmet with external peak visor attached, or the peak visor can be removed and you have an aerodynamic touring helmet. Our oversized eye port is extremely wide for greater peripheral vision and downward visibility, and the modular chin bar can be conveniently flipped up when you stop to get gas or ask for directions. The internal drop down Speed view sun visor and KwikWick II liner will keep you comfortable all day long even as lighting conditions change throughout the day. Additionally, the no-fog Ever clear face shield can be removed and you can use the EXO- AT950 as a dirt helmet with goggles for off-road use. Three shell sizes made of Advanced LG Polycarbonate and dual density EPS, result in a helmet that is light weight, strong, and protective.
Pro:
1) The AT950 is a reasonably priced helmet with all the features I wanted (ADV style, External sun visor, Flip up chin bar, internal sun visor...).
2) This is my third Scorpion helmet (they tend to fit me well) and I fit a M in all helmets.
3) Visibility is excellent and the visor sheds water well in the rain.
4) It is awesome to flip up the helmet at the gas station, to talk at a stoplight, or when that inevitable sneeze is about to occur.
Con:
1) The left chin strap has a double line of stitching that makes an unbending hard plate at that point. This hits me exactly at the angle of my jaw and after doing a couple long rides the helmet has gone from comfortable to excruciating. This makes the helmet unusable. If they had put the stitching line somewhere else it would have been fine (it is higher on the right and I don't notice it). The stitching can't be cut because that is what attaches the double D rings. Customer service had no solutions at all and they suggested I buy a different helmet.
2) The chin strap is further back and presses against my throat much more than a non modular helmet (all modular helmets are this way).
3) The face shield is quick to fog. Despite having all vents open (which seem to do nothing) I can't get on the bike fast enough before I see moisture causing a blur at the lower edges of the visor when the temp is 50 degrees or less. It is a good thing that the helmet can be cracked open a notch because at anything less than freeway speeds it must be opened in order to see (which is a pain off road).
4) The sun visor does catch a significant amount of wind which jostles my head around at freeway speeds much more than my street helmet. I knew this would be a bit of an issue but I had hoped it would be less noticeable. It is removable.
I removed the Aero Skirt which dramatically increased air flow inside the helmet. Not as nice in the cold but it did dramatically reduce flogging problems.
I considered getting the large replacement cheek pads (the M & L helmets have the same shell sizes) so there would be less strap pressure but the helmet was too loose overall. I ended up heating up a knife and melting a slit through the middle of the cheek foam so I could pass the left strap through the middle of the pad. That made the pressure against my jaw from the stitching go away.
Generally I like the helmet but it could have been better out of the box and require less modification.
Excellent helmet.
