The most dangerous thing I ride on a daily basis is the subway, and a helmet isn’t going to protect me from the hazards I encounter down there, which is too bad, since I really need a reason to justify buying one of these transforming EXO-900 models from Scorpion. Its three modes include a full face helmet, a flip front modular and a 3/4 helmet making it suitable for use all year round on anything from a superbike to a Vespa.
The EverClear No-Fog Faceshield uses state-of-the-art fog free technology and the retractable SpeedView Sun Visor features an anti-scratch hardened coating, and both can be easily removed or attached without the use of any tools. The helmet also features a moisture-wicking breathable liner as well as the AirFit helmet pump inflation system for a perfect custom fit. Depending on the finish and color options the Scorpion EXO-900 sells from about $270 to $280, and while I’m not sure if that’s expensive for a helmet, it seems reasonable for what is essentially the most important thing you can wear while riding.

I like it!
What gets me is seemingly intelligent people that ride motorcycles without a helmet. I guess thinking you're cool trumps having your head smashed like a pumpkin.
It just that I cant feel anything when Im wearing one .. nevermind .. thought you were talking about condoms.
But if you go to their site they won't actually show you anything about the helmet. They have like a 3 minute grainy poorly shot amateur video of some half dressed heroin addict wearing it but nothing about the helmet. Maybe it's descent helmet but they really suck at presentation.
While transforming helmets you must have to make sure that you don't compromise with the safety parameter.
