Suomy Lids

So my kid won a new helmet, and the coupon lets him pick from the Vandal line.
Anybody have one, and how do you like it?

He is currently using an HJC CL-15, and also uses a Scorpion Exo 400 on occasion (for reference or comparison).

He's basically trading a Chevy in for a BMW!!!

I've got one. I love it. Very light. Quick shield change, much faster than the Spec 1R. No fog shield. And it locks really well. Very comfortable. Also, it flows a ton of air, so it's noisy. If you close all the vents its much quieter but still flows a good bit of air.

I think he'll love it. You can see it in these pic:

Going in for a test fit this week. Curious to how the sizing may or may not be different.

He has it narrowed down to the Atlantic City, or the Pinup Girl.

They tend to be on the round side (wider side to side).........kinda like Arai

They are sized different than other Suomy models. Spec 1R's run smaller than the Vandal. I wear a Large in Vandal and XL in Spec 1R.
