Here is a review of it in case you haven't seen it. Also check the review of the HJC IS-33 which also has a built in sun shade and a full shield to cover your face during rain storms.

Great helmet; comfortable for 10 hour, hot days in the saddle. As for rain, I have a 2-UP shield and with the pull down faceshield on the helmet, it gives me enough protection.
In fat, I like these helmets enough to have just ordered another ne one to go with my UC.

I use this helmet everyday I ride. Rain or shine, I will only get rid of it when it's time for a new helmet and then I'll get another one. Rode in horrid downpour not too long ago and even though I do not enjoy riding in that type of rain, I was no more wet than anyone else - including those who had full faced helmets on.
I love that if I am riding in town I can keep the shield up and if I open up the throttle and want to protect my eyes from wind, I can just pop the shield down with one finger and keep on truckin'.
I recommend this helmet to anyone and everyone!!

I have used this helmet for about 2 years. It is good in the rain and since I wear glasses I no longer have to carry extra sunglasses as the standard colored visor is great in the sunlight. When it gets cooler here in October it keeps the head warm as well. I think it is an excellent investment.

I have one I hardly never wear , when I take the neck warmer off for summer it pushes down on my ears and is very uncomfortable! It's works good for me in the winter but I never wear it in the summer!

I like the concept of the EXO-100, but it didn't fit my head. I prefer the fit of HJC helmets. I purchased the FS-2 half helmet for around town riding, the IS-33 for summer trips, and the Sy-Max II for cold weather riding. Of the three, I like the IS-33 the best for all around riding. I purchased all three because I like the fit and I got them really discounted.

I have this helmet, and truthfully I'm not too excited about it. At 70mph it tends to want to rotate back from the wind catching the sun visor. I installed shims to make it fit tighter, and it helps, but it still tends to rotate back after several miles at hwy speeds. Will probaby keep it for cooler weather when I use the neck collar.

I have this helmet and it does not fit my head very well. It felt good when I tried it on new, but after a very short time the helmet settled to far down on my head. The inner shell pushes my ears down, I had to modify the styrofoam to make clearance for the ears. The helmet is huge compared to other half helmets so it catches a lot of wind, feels like dragging a small parachute around by the chin. I like the concept with the flip down visor, but the helmet did not work for me.
