The Simpson GS3 MX is the company’s take on the Enduro or “Crossover” helmet. It is lacking in refinement compared to other helmets. Note that the face shield is a $100.00 option at the time of publication! Simpson has been around since the late 1950’s, making a wide variety of...

Review Summary Scorpion’s EXO-AT960 modular adventure helmet is an attractive and competitive safety hat at the $299 US price point. The AT960 deserves a better visor, visor seal, interior liner, and a carbon fiber or fiberglass shell, along with a stiffer sun peak. Perhaps the AT960 gives up too much...

The Arai XD4 is a modest update of the XD3. It includes a new face shield design that now incorporates brow vents. A redesigned peak and refined overall shape makes the XD4 the smoothest-feeling, low-drag, low-lift dual-sport helmets you’ll find. The XD4 is one of the lightest weight dual-sport helmets...
