Being new to motorcycles my motivation for purchasing the EXO 750 was features to price point. Although I wanted good protection I was not ready to shell out the BIG bucks. Now that I have 800 miles under my belt and know I'll be riding for many years to come I am ready for an upgrade.
The EXO does the job. Most everything is above average but it does not excel in any area.
Here is my take:
Cons
1) It does fog up at lower temperatures (30-45 degrees). It is not fog free.
2) The pump is questionable. If it fit properly you would not need this system.
3) There is plenty of wind noise at higher speeds (50 mph>).
4) The shield does not have a tight seal.
5) I need to fuss with the shield in the cracked position. The gap varies each time I open it. Often it is at an angle.
6) The hinge for the shield could be better. It's not smooth.

Pros
1) The price is right for an entry level helmet
2) You get a lot of value for the dollar
3) Style - it looks good. My daughter is a Harry Potter fan. She thought the logo was from HP.

I recommend this helmet for a back up or for your occasional passenger.
As they say you get what you pay for. Don't expect this helmet to be your last.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Will the aerodynamics of this helmet work well at high speeds? (over 100 mph)
The aerodynamics seem to work just fine as my head remains in a safe a secure riding position at 70-80mph. I have only taken my bike up to 80mph so I can not comment to higher speeds.
In my opinion, the issue is in the wind noise that increases dramatically over 55mph. I ride in an upright position. If you ride in a tuck position I suppose the noise might not be an issue..
Lastly, the EXO750 does come with a locking mechanism for the face shield. It does work but not as smoothly as when I first bought it. I have about 800 miles on the helmet and I do take care of my equipment.
If you can save up a few extra dollars I'd consider a better built helmet. I am in the process of an upgrade now.
