in gear scorpion exo covert fx helmet reviewWhen Scorpion dropped the original Covert, it definitely turned heads with that aggressive, modular, street-brawler look. But let's be honest: while I dug the concept, I'm a sport rider at heart, and I wanted a true, one-piece street helmet with a real, fixed chinbar. Enter the Scorpion Covert FX. This bad boy takes that mean attitude and bakes it into a full-face package wrapped in an incredibly lightweight shell made from a composite blend of fiberglass, aramid, and polyresin fibers.Scorpion Covert FX Helmet Review | Aggressive Style Meets ECE 22.06 ProtectionHistorically, I've had some mixed feelings about the various Scorpion lids that have come across my desk, but the Covert FX pleasantly surprised me the moment I pulled it over my ears. It's built around an intermediate oval head shape, and it fits my specific noggin remarkably well. Available in sizes ranging from XS all the way up to 3XL, it hits a wide spread of riders. Visually, you can keep it sleek or stealthy with solid colorways like Gloss Black, Matte Black, Graphite, Cement Gray, and White.Of course, a helmet has to do more than just look tough. On the protection front, the Covert FX brings serious peace of mind, boasting both U.S. DOT certification and the latest, more stringent ECE 22.06 safety rating. Inside, you get the moisture-wicking KwikWick C comfort liner and speaker pockets if you want to slap in a Bluetooth comm system. On the functional side of things, the faceshield mechanism is relatively straightforward and easy to figure out when it comes time to swap or remove the shield.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat said, no helmet is perfect, and if there's a chink in the Covert FX's armor, it's the airflow. The ventilation here is mediocre at best, so don't expect a massive rush of cooling air when the weather turns scorching. But does its aggressive style, solid safety credentials, and impressive fit outweigh the lack of a breeze? You'll have to watch the full In Gear video to see my complete, unfiltered thoughts.Scorpion EXO Covert FX HelmetScorpion EXO Covert FX HelmetSizes: XS - 3XLColors: Matte Black, Gloss Black, Cement Grey, Graphite, Gloss WhitePrice: $274.95 - $284.95Safety Ratings: DOT FMVSS No. 218 Certified / ECE 22.06 ApprovedCheck PriceWe are committed to finding, researching, and recommending the best products.
