Scorpion EXO-1000 review -- Part6
Here we go again: the <a href="http://x-ck.com/products/scorpion-exo-1000-air-bug-matte-black" title="Scorpion EXO-1000">Scorpion EXO-1000</a> comes with what I guess is now a marketing "must have" feature, the internal sun shade.
These devices are a good idea with, so far, very poor implementations, in our opinion. They add too much weight; the rotating mechanisms are usually cranky; they don't rotate down far enough to lower out of the rider's line of sight; the bottoms have weird curves and nose cut-outs (anyone with a nose that big would be wearing an open-face <a href="http://www.x-ck.com/blogs/scorpion-helmets" title="scorpion helmet">scorpion helmet</a> anyway); they don't always have infinite positioning (on or off only) and, to top it off, they're usually not dark enough to block the sun anyway, probably because of liability concerns.
How about this, manufacturers: make a very dark or opaque internal face shield that can be pulled down manually about 25 mm and is cut straight across? That's all you'd need to keep the sun out of your eyes when riding west on a summer's afternoon.
Score: I'm sure some will argue, just as they do with our fondness for D-rings, but I'll rate the internally rotating sun face shield as "Poor". If you don't agree, no problem, but I'm just not a big fan of these things -- yet.

between the GP Tech gloves
The biggest difference you’ll find between the GP Tech gloves and other gloves in the same category such as the Held and Kushitani gloves is the wrist gauntlet. Rather than being made from leather its the moulded thermoplastic again which provides such a fantastic level of safety and protection for the rider. One other unique feature is the way the fingers are connected on the Alpinestars gloves. The third and fourth fingers are connected which is supposed to help prevent finger roll if you’re in an accident. A great deal of research has been done by Alpinestars gloves in this area hence this unique feature. I’m still not sure if this is present in the mid ranged gloves such as the Alpinestars SP1 gloves, I really have to check that out!

Welcome to Alpinestars Gloves
Alpinestars gloves are everywhere these days. If you watch Formula One, Motocross or NASCAR you’ll see that the majority of the drivers use these Alpinestars gloves due to their comfort and technical safety they offer. It might be interested for you to know that the company takes its name from the English translation of the Italian word “stelle alpine” which strangely enough means “Alpine Stars” in English. Useless or useful fact of the day you can decide! I first came across when I got my first bike and I managed to negotiate an old pair of Alpinestars gloves in with the cost of the bike. I fell in love with them that day and it’s the only brand I’d ever consider using when on my bike. The other reason I love them along with the comfort and safely value is because of how cool they look. Some of the designs are simply beautiful. Alpinestars have developed a fashion line aimed at both me and women for all there sporting needs. It’s more a sports lifestyle thing these days but with a functional purpose.
