        So now i should start by saying that this scropion helmet is one of the best helmets i have used till date .
        Have used it for around 1000kms and i have used it in heavy rains , foggy weather and sunny days too .
        This visor is a magic visor i must say water doesnt even stand on the visor it just flows off .
        Water doesnt come inside the visor in heavy rains too .
        U can easily see clearly in heavy rains too .
        As we know that where there are rains there would be fog inside your visor so i had used proklear anti fog which worked wonders .
        I have ordered tinted visor which is superb too .
        I have also ordered pinlock anti fog film .
        In sunny days it has inbuild black glasses which are boon in sunny days .

        The helmet fit is just awesome its a snug fit helmet and has a dedicated place for helmet bluetooth speakers .
        The air noise is not there till 120km its absolutely silent .
        After 120kmph to 170kmph there is very min noise of air .
        The inside liner is extremely soft and smooth .
        I have added a scala rider g9x to my scropion helmet and it fits extremlly well . The speaker dedicated pocket is perfect and doesnt even make us feel that we have put speakers inside .
        The visor has dedicated locks also .
        The quality of visor is also extremlly nice. The visor quality is thick than normal visor of other helmets .
        The tinted visor i ordered is for 3299 rs .
        I know its bit on a higher side but the quality speaks .

        Just wanna say that this helmet is value for money .

        Will soon attach pics . Right now cant attach pics from my mobile . Dont know why ?
        Anyone needs to ask anything about this helmet is free to ask .
        Thank you !

          Specifications Scorpion*EXO-490 Vision

          3 OUTER SHELL SIZES
          KWIKWICK 2 ™*Moisture-wicking helmet liner and cheek pads: Breathable, easily removable and washable.

          OPTIONAL*PINLOCK® PREPARED

          Fitting perfectly into the specially depressed area of the faceshield, the Pinlock® creates continuous air pressure through the compression force, which in turn stops condensation – and thus fogging – from occurring even when the temperature difference between the outside and the inside of the helmet increases.

          MORE FEATURES*Ventilation system: Adjustable, indexed front and rear vents with aero-tuned rear spoiler reduce lift, create vacuum and maximize airflow through helmet.

          Breath-deflector: Enhanced fog-free performance.

          Chin-cover: contributes to noise reduction.

          Micrometric Automatic chinstrap buckle for quick release and precise adjustment.

          ECE 22-05 Certified
