Scorpion Helmets--Supported Riders
A selection of riders that are supported by Scorpion Helmets.
Dean McDermott - Scorpion Supported Rider
Hometown: Canada
Background: I was raised in Canada where I grew up riding all types of motorcycles since the age of 16. My first bike was a 1973 Honda scorpion-exo-400 Super Sport. I loved that bike so much, and I thought I was "The Man" on it. After a few mentions of always wanting a Ducati (hint hint), my beautiful and thoughtful wife, decided to rent me a Ducati 1098 for Fathers Day so I could enjoy some fun filled California cruising and canyon riding. Little did she know, she had created a monster. Soon after, I became friends with a fellow motorcycle Scorpion Helmets, who also had a love for motorcycles. He invited me out for a track day with Fastrack Riders. After I completed my first few laps, and got my novice riders certificate, I was hooked. Since then I have taken my obsession of motorcycles and love of racing to the next level. I decided to get my WERA race license in early 2009. Now I am fortunate to have several sponsors for the 2010 WERA race season, and a very understanding and supportive wife. It’s good to be me.

Welcome to Alpinestars Gloves
Welcome to Alpinestars Gloves
Alpinestars gloves are everywhere these days. If you watch Formula One, Motocross or NASCAR you’ll see that the majority of the drivers use these Alpinestars gloves due to their comfort and technical safety they offer. It might be interested for you to know that the company takes its name from the English translation of the Italian word “stelle alpine” which strangely enough means “Alpine Stars” in English. Useless or useful fact of the day you can decide! I first came across when I got my first bike and I managed to negotiate an old pair of Alpinestars gloves in with the cost of the bike. I fell in love with them that day and it’s the only brand I’d ever consider using when on my bike. The other reason I love them along with the comfort and safely value is because of how cool they look. Some of the designs are simply beautiful. Alpinestars have developed a fashion line aimed at both me and women for all there sporting needs. It’s more a sports lifestyle thing these days but with a functional purpose.

wholesale helmets
My understanding is that the Scorpion helmets is the replacement for the Quantum II. My last two Scorpion helmets have been the Arai Quantum II, and after 800+ miles, the scorpion-exo-700 has been a superior fit for me. It hugs the contours in my face better, and fits around my chin more securely. Plus, it's quiet and comfortable.
For those "reviewers" who are saying the cheek pads are too tight, mark across forehead, etc. , I would say, maybe the scorpion-exo-900 is not the correct helmet for your head and face shape.
Finding a good helmet that fits is more "art" than science; there is no good or bad helmet, there is the helmet that fits YOU:) Find THAT hel
First, I have to say, dealing with Revzilla was a real pleasure. Package arrived in 1 week exactly even though i'm in the middle east at the moment. The Scorpion exo-1000 is everything i expected in terms of quality and I like the fact that it does not have an overly exaggerated venting system like the GP. I must admit that even though I watch all the clips on you tube on changing the visor, that it was still a very tedious affair and at one point I thought I recked it when the side panel popped off during one of my attempts. The one the worked for me was changing the visor with the helmet on. Don't know why, it just did on my first attempt. Overall, i think its the wholesale helmets and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet
As I said, the Scorpion EXO 1000 Helmet is absolutely chocked with features. First and foremost is the long-hyped HelmetPump design that had the buzz for this helmet going well before its release. Beyond that, you've got the trio of Scorpion features: the SpeedShift quick-change shield system, allowing you to swap out shields without tools in ten seconds or less; the EverClear fog-free faceshield with a scratch resistant coating; and the KwikWick antimicrobial removable washable moisture-wicking liner. The ventilation system is fully adjustable and will keep your head nice and cool (couple with the moisture-wicking liner) at long distance rides.
One of the newest motorcycle helmet offerings from Scorpion, the Scorpion EXO-1000 helmet continues their trend of packing a ton of next-level features into a reasonably-priced premium helmet. Easy open/close vents are located at the brow, the chin, and the top of the head with a large open/close exhaust vent at the back of the head for venturi effect airflow. This is without question a premium touring helmet. It's also DOT & Snell certified. The EXO1000 is designed to be ridden in the upright position for long distances, and will flow a great deal of air, making it a great premium touring motorcycle helmet option.
Everyone remembers those shoes from the 80s and 90s that you could pump up for a perfect custom fit. They've integrated that technology into the helmet and it works spectacularly: the cheek pads and neckroll inflate for a snug fit, and at the end of the ride a release button deflates for easy on/off. The next biggie on this helmet is the retractable internal sun visor system. The SpeedView Visor, as Scorpion calls it, eliminates the need to change shields when the sun comes out or fumble for a pair of sunglasses.

Sportbike Helmets
Sportbike helmets are usually classified as motorcycle helmets geared toward the more aggresive look and riding style of the sportbike and/or track-day crowd. Many times you can find a sportbike helmet in varying colors and graphics as well as models designed to look good and perform while moving at a solid clip. We typically see Scorpion helmets with graphics that change every year as well as get more aggressive in their looks while further expanding into designs which are complete race replicas of the most talented professional riders. At RevZilla, we carry hundreds of sportbike helmets from top brands like Arai, Shoei, Shark, Bell, Scorpion, Icon, Akuma and AGV. As always, please contact us with any questions you have in trying to find the ideal sportbike helmet specific to your needs.

Alpinestars makes
Alpinestars makes a LOT of different gear for motorcycle riders and racers. In fact, they also make a large selection of leather and textile gloves. But we are going to review only ALPINESTARS “LEATHER” MOTORCYCLE GLOVES.
Alpinestars leather motorcycle gloves contain short gloves, for street riding, touring or everyday commuting, as well as 3/4 gloves, which are a compromise between the longest sports gloves and their short gloves.
Some of their short gloves feature perforated leather for maximum air-flow, as well as abrasion-resistant palms, which, combined together, offer excellent warm-weather performance.
For Alpinestars top-of-the-line leather gloves, you'll see their full-length, full protection, sport/racing gloves, which feature superior knuckle protection, precurved fingers (for better fit and tactile feel), along with their very best leather protec

Scorpion
Scorpion Helmets have a way of staying ahead of the game with their creative designs. In all, Scorpion Helmets are your best choices, you really worth it!
Many helmet brands simply private-label helmets purchased from generic mass manufacturers. And most other helmet brands sub-contract major portions of their manufacturing to smaller vendors. Scorpion does not-because we want to control every operation, every detail, to insure optimum quality, confidence-inspiring integrity and utmost efficiency.
The U.S. headquarters (The Nest) for Scorpion Sports is located in Lake Forest, CA. The 37,700 sq. ft. nerve center and warehouse includes the latest computerized technology for order entry, inventory management, customer service and order tracking. Dealer orders can be easily placed anytime on the website, or over the phone during business hours. And each order can be tracked online until it arrives at any dealership in America.

Alpinestars motorcycle gloves--Gore-Tex
Alpinestars motorcycle gloves--Gore-Tex
Alpinestars has you ready for any weather without sacrificing feel at the bars when you're wearing their waterproof 365 Drystar gloves. The breathable Gore-Tex X-Trafit membrane located under the outer leather chassis makes them an excellent choice for sunny weather as well - hence the 365 moniker. That's because Gore-Tex's X-Trafit liners permit the construction of a close-fitting glove that exhibits excellent tactile feel yet, is durable enough to withstand the rigors of the road-going rider. In other words, the 365 Gore-Tex glove's waterproof and breathable construction doesn't make your hands feel like they're surrounded by a garbage bag just to keep you dry. Except for a slightly thicker feel on top of the glove, the 365' isn't much different than other Alpinestars motorcycle gloves. The knuckles are covered by a solid PU protector and additional EVA padding is sewn into the leather above the fingers and on the thumb. The palm has an additional layer of synthetic suede attached in critical areas to impart extra abrasion resistance and Alpinestars uses their patented 3rd & 4th finger bridge to prevent painful finger damage in a crash. A long gauntlet makes sealing these waterproof gloves over your jacket's sleeves easy, further aiding their bad weather usefulness. All of this is available in a leather motorcycle glove that provides excellent dexterity and safety.
