The first thing you’ll notice about the Scout air is that it provides a little bit more coverage than a straight half helmet. The shell extends down over the ears and inside there’s a little recessed area where you could put speakers for your communication device.

The shell is a tri matrix material, you get a D-ring, a retention strap and this is one of the lightest weight helmets of our selection. When we put this thing on the scales it weighed out at one pound thirteen ounces, which has a lot to do with the construction of the exterior shell. This helmet is going to cost you a little bit more than some of our other picks it comes out at about $155.

The interior liner is nice and soft, it’s well-padded, it’s a little bit thin but you’ll see when you put it on this thing fits really well. Another nice touch about the Scout Air is that Bell offers five different shell sizes and five different EPS liner sizes. That means that no matter what size you wear you’re going to get the slimmest and lightest configuration possible.

I really like the way this one feels. It’s lightweight, it works with my head shape really well and it’s low and it has a nice low profile. I really like this one.

The AFX FX 200 is the lightest half helmet of all our picks at 1 pound 12 ounces. It’s got a fiberglass-reinforced exterior shell, it’s got an antimicrobial antibacterial removable liner inside and it’s also got the standard D-ring retention strap.

The FX 200 starts at around $95, it has a pretty decent profile too. Again this one doesn’t fit my head shape quite right at all, there is no contact with the top of my head and there’s pressure on my forehead. The nice thing about this is the interior liner is really soft, unlike some of the other ones, it was a little bit rougher than other helmets but it is really well padded inside.

The Scorpion EXO C-110 features a polycarbonate exterior shell, as well as a speed view drop-down sun visor. Inside this helmet is a quick wick removable antibacterial liner system and on the retention straps, you get button snaps where you can install accessories speaker pockets if you’d like.

Another nice touch is the scorpion builds in ventilation over the top of the head, you get a couple of intake ports at the front as well as some exhaust ports at the back.

The C 110 weighs out at 2 pounds 7 ounces and it’s going to start at $130. The Scorpion fits my head really well but it seems to bulge out on the sides a little bit too much for me.
