Default Suomy SPEC-1R Hodgson Laguna Helmet

Anyone have any experience with this helmet/manufacturer? I am thinking of getting this helmet for the upcoming season.

Welcome. Suomy makes some of the lightest and best helmets on the market. I have one and I love it. You won't be disappointed.

I currently own a Shoei RF 1000. How does the Suomy compare to that. Also i have been hear that the Suomy helmets are very loud if you are riding over 70mph.

It fits my head very well. I tried it on at a local shop but they do not let you take the helmet for a test ride.

O and thanx for directing me to the new forum.

Suomy and Shoei are on the same level of quality- really, really good. Little different headshape.
