$329.95 – $359.95: Scorpion EXO-T1200 Helmet

Scorpion’s EXO-T1200 is the first entry in its new T series of helmets aimed squarely at touring riders, incorporating features tourers have been asking for. Scorpion says the shell is constructed from Thermodynamic Composite Technology, consisting of a five-layer blend of interlaced and specially formulated fiberglass, aramid and organic poly-resin fibers and was developed exclusively by Scorpion. The T1200’s aerodynamic shape incorporates wind-tunnel-tested top vents designed to maximize the venturi effect.

Inside, the T1200 sees the inflatable cheek pad system used on the EXO-R2000 race helmet, complete with an anti-microbial liner and emergency release system. A three-position flip-down sun visor helps keep the eyes from straining when it’s bright out. Speaker pockets are incorporated into the cheekpads to facilitate communication systems. Three shell sizes accommodate six helmet sizes (XS – 2XL), so there’s sure to be an EXO-T1200 that’s right for you. Visit www.scorpionusa.com for more information.
