Scorpion ADF-9000

Not a Scorpion XDF, but I have had an EXO-TECH for about 3 years, Quite well made initially, and I still use it for trail riding (on my CRF) and commuting around the place (because it has the full flip thing where the chin-piece rotates completely out of the way which I like on the trails and in traffic). I bought a Schuberth C3PRO at around the same time which I use on the GS because it's comfier and quieter at speed.
After 3 years, both helmets have a similar amount of usage. The Scorpion is showing a lot of wear in the lining (it's noticeably loosened).
I guess that should be expected, the Scorpion was half the cost of the Schuberth, but now after 3 years, the build quality of the Schuberth shines through, the Scorpion was definitely built down to a price...

Anymore feedback on these helmets and how well they last ?
It wasn't my No1 choice if im honest but the Tour X5 I had my eye on didn't fit me , and this seems like its worth a punt based on a quick try on in the shop.

Wifey’s last helmet was a Scorpion, not this model, an Ex Evo
She has a lot of difficulty getting a lid to fit and hates changing so she kept it 10 years, it did a lot of miles and lasted very well

sounds good thank you
Really liked the look of the these and looked at getting one however I found these very small when I tried one on, really tight around the forehead (maybe my head shape?) Seemed good quality though.sounds good thank you
Stuck with my Arai tour in the end, which fits me perfectly in a Large.
Mate of mine has just bought an Airoh commander 2, that’s a great helmet premium quality too.

I am finding the large ive tried all quite tight on the forehead but fine in the cheek area so I get what you mean, I will look at the airoh thanks
Recently replaced my Shoei Neotec II with a Scorpion ADF9000 which came with a Sena intercom unit fitted plus an additional smoked visor at a bargain price from a French company iCasque.
Ordered it late Thursday evening and it arrived first thing Monday morning. The price quoted on the website is the price I paid, no import taxes etc were added.
Only worn a couple of times but very happy with both the quality and the fit.
