“Every FiberGlass/Kevlar Scorpion Helmet is laid up by hand, over a 4C grade, chrome-coated, precisely heated carbon steel mold, after the fabric has been computer-cut and the polyurethane resin has been carefully weighed,” explains Nikki Sloan, R & D Director. An airbag inside the mold ensures that the resin completely saturates the fabric, giving the best ratio of strength to weight. After the molding process, each helmet shell is carefully measured for uniform thickness—and thus uniform strength.”

Polycarbonate Composite Helmets
“Scorpion Polycarbonate Composite Helmet shells are made from a mix of several space-age materials. Basically, it’s the same stuff used in jet-fighter canopies, so you know it’s very tough, and very resilient. We make it into a helmet shell in an advanced process called thermo-set injection molding.”

“Both Fiberglass/Kevlar™ and Polycarbonate Composite helmets are finished to the same exacting standards, using a futuristic, conveyor-equipped clean-room painting process. We then apply our high-quality water decals, to make each helmet design come alive in exciting colors and patterns. And then each helmet is clear-coated with a glass-smooth protective coating, over both the paint and the decals, ensuring a long-lasting, highly durable finish. How hard is our clear-coat finish? Well, in most cases, if your Scorpion helmet picks up a streak or mark, say from accidentally rubbing a wall in your house, the streak will come right off using common automotive polishing compound. In other words, the helmet finish is harder and more durable than most surfaces or finishes it will ever contact.”
