The Scorpion EXO-100 is the one you want.  Best quality and best fit half I ever had in 40 years.  I usually wear a large, but got XL in the Scorpion.  The little visor comes in handy more than I thought it would... rain, direct sun, gravel/debris/pollen, cold, wind.  Not crazy about the chrome mark of Zorro, so I flat blacked it with a marker.

I looked at both the HJC and the Scorpion. The Scorpion looked like it was made a little better but didn't care for the big "Z" on the front that is not removable. Plus the added plastic trim around the outside didn't cut it for me.  I ordered the HJC .... Model IS-2 in Matte Black

The HJC runs a little bigger than the Scorpion

I use the HJC FS-3, DOT & Snell approved.
Flip up face shield or a visor - interchangeable easily.
Very comfortable and inside parts can be removed for cleaning.

The Scorpion EXO-100 is the one you want.

I just got the EXO-100 for my Birthday in March and love it. They do run a little small, I take a large in all other helmets but took a XL in the 100.  Going to be a great helmet for hot weather and love the drop down shield. I can wear my reg.glasses so I don`t need to carry extra glasses.  Wink BTW, I told my local dealer I had a internet price of $99.00 shipped and he matched.  cooldude
