Scorpion is, quite simply, the next wave in motorcycle helmet and protective gear design
and manufacturing. Scorpion Helmets are engineered by some of the world's most sought-after
helmet designers, with over 178 years of cumulative experience. And their wild, innovative
graphic designs are created in hotbeds of extreme-sports creativity all over the world, from
Europe to Southern California, to stay two steps ahead in this fast-moving field.
The Scorpion factory—The Big Nest—is a state-of-the-art,
810,000 sq. ft. campus, staffed by as many as 400 skilled technicians, each dedicated to crafting
the world's best protective headgear. Almost every operation needed to create world-class helmets
is located on this one amazing facility, including both fiberglass/Kevlar™ and polycarbonate shell
molding, EPS liner manufacturing, liner sewing, water-decal production, clean-room paint booths,
drying rooms, assembly, packaging and shipping.
Many helmet brands simply private-label helmets purchased from generic mass manufacturers.
And most other helmet brands sub-contract major portions of their manufacturing to smaller
vendors. Scorpion does not-because we want to control every operation, every detail, to
insure optimum quality, confidence-inspiring integrity and utmost efficiency.
This attention to detail is showcased by the fact that every Scorpion motorcycle
helmet is certified by the Snell Foundation—the most demanding helmet safety standard in the world.
The U.S. headquarters (The Nest) for Scorpion Sports is located in Lake Forest, CA. The 37,700 sq.
ft. nerve center and warehouse includes the latest computerized technology for order entry, inventory
management, customer service and order tracking. Dealer orders can be easily placed anytime on the
website, or over the phone during business hours. And each order can be tracked online until it
arrives at any dealership in America.
