I know that there are a ton of people that think that Scorpion helmets are bee's knees but typically, those same people have never owned an Arai, Shark or Shoei high end lid.

Have HJCs dropped in quality? My old roomate had two of them(AC-10 and a cheaper model), and the AC-10 was a nice lid.

BTW, I have owned/own two Shoei's, one Arai, and a Shark RSR2.

This is a nice hat.
