If you are going to invest in a piece of technology, then make sure you are spending your money on something that will make a difference. Good technology should save the world, your job, or even your life, and it should look cool doing it. The Scorpion EXO-900 Transforming Motorcycle Helmet is one such piece of nearly perfect technology. Not only is is fantastically sexy, but it is well built and very well designed.

OK, full disclosure: I am certainly not a hard core biker, but I do have a Yamaha Scooter, and I do insist that I wear a helmet. Brain damage is certainly not on my list of to dos. The problem is that half helmets are too cold for winter, but I fry with a full helmet in the summer. The Scorpion EXO-900 manages to be three different helmet depending on your need and desires. It can be a full face helmet, helmet with a flip visor, or a 3/4 summer helmet. In all modes, the helmet features EverClear No-Fog Faceshield and a AirFit helmet inflation system that guarantees a perfect fit regardless of weather or environmental conditions.

The helmet runs $270 - $280 depending on options. That may seem expensive, but if you have shopped for a quality helmet; it is a bargain. Considering it is in fact three different helmets, it is a spectacular deal. I would be tempted to purchase this helmet if I didn't already have one... no never mind, I am tempted to buy it.
