Anyone ever seen or used this helmet. \\; It has a retractable visor that retracts into the shell. I am wondering it would work with prescrip glasses as a wind/bug block?

RE: Scorpion helmet
My local DH dealer stocks these (St. Paul HD). I am seriously considering one. The visor and flip down will definitely work with glasses.
I'm also looking at some of the other "Jet" or "Scooter" style lids in 3/4 models. I'm heading down to Bill's Cycle in St. Paul later today to look at lids.

RE: Scorpion helmet
I just ordered one the other day. They can be had for a lot less than the price you have in your post. Try these guys:

RE: Scorpion helmet
My wife & I both use this helmet and love it, although we are not using it with prescription glasses (I wear my Panoptx photogray, and she wears Icicles). The flip-down visor is nice, although the tinting renders it useless after dark (may have to get the clear visor to keep the june bugs at bay). Very comfortable and lightweight, breaths well.

RE: Scorpion helmet
elconquister do you and your wife have problems with bugs flying under the visor and/ or wind moving your glasses around while on the highway?

RE: Scorpion helmet
No wind movement that I've noticed, but I have take a bug or two below the visor (it comes down to about my cheekbones). For a full-face shield, I have a 3/4 HD Jet that I wear in the cooler months.

How is it on the highway? I've got a similar helmet by HJC, and with the visor brim removed it's way easier on my neck, but still not great. I can tell if the Scorpion's brim removes or not...

I bought the helmet after this post and have used it for a few months. The visor does come off easily, and the shield exchanges easy to. On the high way with out a windshield there is still a lot of updraft but it does not move perscrip glasses at all. It does make my eyes water though... With a windshield is the way to go almost zero wind comming up under the visor. All in all I am happy with it.
on another note it is a big helmet and it looks like I have a watermelon on my head!!
