would you say you like the grey scorpion covert fx or the glossy black version? I cant decide between the grey and the 2 black colorways of the covert fx smh
I have a covert x , large now , how does the sizing match up? Same? And covert x was super easy to run speakers in, how's the guts on the 2? Lastly is the mouth guard about the same snub size? Bc it's short perfect for shoulder checking...... I hated how long the chin bar was on the fx. Great vid 🍻
Thanks! To me the sizing is a tad bit more snug than the covert x, which I preferred. Overall more comfortable and didn’t give me pressure point pain. Guts seem better tooled to run speakers, and mouth guard to me is about the same size
Hello,great review. Tell me one thing, wich model you think looks larger in the head? Wich one is narrow on the outside looks? Or you think that on the outside they all are " the same "? Thanks
How bad does your chin stick out the bottom? I keep seeing where the mouth guard doesn't come down very low and looks goofy. I have a Covert X and a Bell Broozer for these type helmets. Thinking about getting this one, but I haven't seen one in person yet to check how bad the chin guard is.
@IronBornRider Well it basically is. Not down to 1/2, but it's a 3/4 with a removable rubber face shield to make it *appear* like a full face. Pretty much like the first Covert just maybe a bit flimsier. I loved mine when I wore it regularly. I admit the Covert has a better mask fitment but IMO the Rogue kinda started the way towards the convertible helmet.
Love this helmet. Just need to find someone that has the largest size to see if it will fit on my gigantic head. The only helmet I found to fit me is the HJC line in 5x
Unfortunately no. The current EXO-Com only works on models with the built-in port; GT930, AT960, and T520. However the Covert 2 will accommodate most other com brands.
I have the boozer and I just bought the covert 2. Taking the covert 2 for a ride tomorrow. Initial thoughts... the covert 2 is much better. A much better fit for me (both medium). The boozer felt ok in store, but on a hand full of rides it felt off (possibly not a good helmet for my head shape). Covert 2 has much better padding quality. Easier push button on/off mask instead of the pull tabs on the boozer. Easier to snap the mask on without a mirror. Much better looking without the bobblehead shape of the boozer. Also the boozer has 2 vents on the side that can't be closed which is annoying and I'm sure contributes to more wind noise at high speeds. Now 2 things I like better about the boozer. The ratchet strap, although it's not safer, it's obviously a lot easier to deal with. And the visor on the boozer can be left cracked open for ventilation whereas the covert 2 can't. The big test is going to be wind noise. The boozer is incredibly loud at high speeds. I don't just mean loud, the wind seems to be channeling into the ear section creating a harsh piercing sound that hurts after an hour of riding at high speeds. To put this into context, I wear an ls2 open face half helmet with the snap on ear pads and I'm more comfortable with that at high speeds because it doesn't feel like there's a tunnel of wind noise directed straight into my ear canal.
I've got the same mat black covert I bought in 2018ish and it's still my main lid, same push button magnet release chin guard system, love it.
You should consider the newer one. Better comfort in my opinion and slightly higher build quality with the same style.
@IronBornRider this one's fine, I'll be happy to if I need to 👊

@@sooperfy the grey is a nice shade. And it’s different.
I just couldn’t go back to the double loop buckle chin strap after using the quick release ratchet type.

I also have the X - what bothers me is the wind noise in the X. Is this better now with the 2?
@@MarcusFenixGears these kind of helmets are never going to be good for wind noise. It comes with the territory unfortunately
Hello,great review. Tell me one thing, wich model you think looks larger in the head? Wich one is narrow on the outside looks? Or you think that on the outside they all are " the same "? Thanks
Thanks! I think they’re pretty similar but to me the new one looks sleeker

I guess it depends on the size of your chin? In my experience I haven’t had an issue
@@IronBornRiderlol
Great review, question. Did you have to go up a size? I'm a medium and I thought I saw review to go up 1 size. Thanks
Thanks. I went true to size for me and thought it was fine.
@@IronBornRider Awesome, thanks!!
Wouldn't the Bell Rogue be the first of this 1/2, 3/4, full face helmet idea?
Sure but from what I understand the bell rogue isn’t a convertible helmet.

@@SimonJester good point, I’ll concede that
I have a covert x helmet. How can i change the visor???
There are some videos on how to do that. But you basically have to pull the visor out of the tabs.
Is scorpion covert2, a specs user friendly?
It is!
Good review! Cool helmet I don't know if I like how it makes you look like a Cobra Crimson Guard.
Lol thanks! I was more team snake eyes myself
I want to get this helmet but I really need to know how it is in the rain. It rains often here where I am from
I wouldn’t go for this helmet or any similar styles like this if you’re riding in the rain. The covert fx would be a better or even scorpion r1
I live in Manchester UK and the 2018 model is still my main lid after a few years, my point is Google Manchester weather 😂
Has it compare to the new bell broozer…
I’ve actually never tried the broozer
What do you think of this vs the FX?
I think the covert fx is all around a better helmet, but if you’re into the convertible helmet this would obviously be the choice.
@@IronBornRider Nice! I just ordered the FX for $200 after it went on sale at my local store. Then I found out about the Covert 2 lol
@@DarthRogue777 they’re both good helmets but if I had to pick one I’d go with the fx
Love this helmet. Just need to find someone that has the largest size to see if it will fit on my gigantic head.
The only helmet I found to fit me is the HJC line in 5x
dude same I just order this helmet in a 3xl I tried on the 2xl and it fit but it was super tight so I think the 3xl will be perfect.
How’s it compare to the shoei x15?
This isn’t rated as a full face helmet unlike the x15.
The covert 2 isn’t considered a full face helmet. It’s a 3/4 helmet. You should check out some of the other scorpion helmets like their scorpion air
It doesn't.
difference with scorpion exo combat 2?
I’m not as familiar with that variation. I dont think they offer those in the US?
Different names for commercial purposes.
Covert's name is US side, Combat's name is for Europe.
@@MKOFFICIALTV Additionally, the Covert 2 is DOT while the Combat 2 is ECE only, thus not legal on public roads in the US.
Does it work with exo com intercom?
Unfortunately no. The current EXO-Com only works on models with the built-in port; GT930, AT960, and T520. However the Covert 2 will accommodate most other com brands.
this or BELL Broozer ?
I’ve never tried the broozer so I can’t say
