So I got the Exo 1000. I like. Quieter then the 1/2 bucket or 3/4 helmet I used to wear. With the back vent open but the front closed it gets the air thrumming like a car with one window partially open. Nice to be able to set it slightly open for airflow. I couldn't fog up the screen at all but if you have ever breathed on a window the wiped it with your hand and breathed on it again you'll know what the screen does. Kind of a skim of moisture over it, not fog you can see through it but it does distort things a bit. Flip the screen up a bit and it clears right off. The air pump worked well. I find the helmet hard to get into and out of but once on fits very well. I noticed the added weight at first but once riding I didn't notice it. I think the weight is forward a bit and the wind seemed to lessen it. All in all I would order it again.

I ran for 15 minutes over 70 and the rest in town one way. Not a long test ride and it snowed today so I couldn't ride. well I could off but with my height and it's weight I decided it was a bad idea for a second ride of the year.
