    I picked up an Icon Alliance - $140. Fits fantastic, great air flow, no fog lens, washable interior and all the basics. It is DOT, Snell, and ECE 22.05 certified.

    I took a Chance on Ebay a couple days ago and Picked up a Brand new, in factory box, with helmet bag and tags/stickers still attached Scorpion EXO-700 for $78 SHIPPED. More than 10 available still, so if you are an XL and looking for a very well reviewed DOT and SNELL 2005 helmet I am sharing the link.

    Oh, and my manufacture date was 7/31/2010, so less than a year old, so it is a closeout simply due to the graphic.

    I've crash tested one and it surely saved my noggin. I loved my Scorpion.

    I'm still baffled that the OP hasn't specified a price range, but I got an Arai Profile for $263 shipped. It was 2 years old overstock.

    Looked into those and they are the Polycarbonate shell, which is not preferred, as well as all the reviews say it is cheap feeling and loud. the EXO-700 seems to be the sweet spot of the scorpion line. So far i am really liking mine.
