Matte Black Large ScorpionEXO Covert 2 Open Face Helmet - Convertible

In this review the ScorpionEXO Covert 2 in matte black size Large is judged as a versatile, convertible helmet for riders who want both a 3/4 open-face feel and occasional full-face protection. The single biggest reason to consider it is the removable chin guard that transforms the helmet between Full Mode and 3/4 Mode while keeping the shell light and impact-focused, making it a practical choice for urban commuters and weekend sport riders who value adaptability without buying two helmets.

Key Features

• Advanced Shell: The polycarbonate shell is engineered to stay lightweight while maximizing impact displacement so the helmet does not feel cumbersome on longer rides.
• Dual Density EPS: Layered liner construction improves energy absorption in a crash and contributes to a more secure feel without adding bulk.
• Removable Chin Guard: The magnet-mounted front mouth protector converts the helmet between two riding configurations for instant versatility on varying rides.
• Aero-Tuned Ventilation: Closeable intake vents and exhaust ports work together to move cool air through the helmet and push hot air out for improved comfort in warm weather.
• KwikWick II Liner: The moisture-wicking, removable liner keeps the rider cool and dry and is washable to maintain comfort over time.
• SpeedView SunVisor: Built-in drop-down tinted visor reduces glare on bright days and an extra clear visor is included for low-light use.

Who It's For

The Covert 2 suits riders who want a single helmet that can act like a 3/4 open-face for casual urban riding and switch to a fuller face for higher speed or colder conditions. Commuters, cafe-racer fans, and owners of streetfighter or naked bikes will appreciate the look, the light weight, and the quick transition between modes.

Riders who prioritize absolute quiet for long highway runs or who want integrated active noise cancellation should look elsewhere; wind noise can be mixed depending on fit and riding posture. Also, those needing a fully integrated factory communication system should note this is Bluetooth-ready with speaker pockets but does not include a system out of the box.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Removable chin guard provides real versatility between Full Mode and 3/4 Mode.
• Lightweight polycarbonate shell and dual density EPS deliver protection without heavy feel.
• Comfort-focused features like KwikWick II liner and eyewear-friendly cheekpads improve everyday usability.

Cons

• Wind noise is reported as mixed by riders, so highway comfort can vary with fit and riding position.
• Bluetooth communication hardware is not included; speakers and a comm unit must be purchased separately for full connectivity.

Our Verdict

Its lightweight polycarbonate shell, removable chin guard, and comfort features make it good value for everyday riders and style-conscious commuters, though those seeking the quietest highway experience or built-in comms will need to consider trade-offs.
