Arai actually has two shapes. There's one for rounder heads like mine, and there's one for more oval shaped heads. Measuring your head helps, too. I thought I was an L, but a tape measure showed I'm actually an M, and sure enough my medium Corsair fits like a glove.

My ex GF has a Suomy Extreme, and the shield release mechanism made me want to hurl it against a wall. It takes a tool to release the side covers, and getting them back on is a son-of-a-bitch.

Arai has helmets for at least four head shapes. The Corsair fits differently from the Quantum and the Quantum fits differently from the Vector which fits differently from the Profile.

Between the Nolan, the AGV and the Vemar, I'm done with Eye-tie helmets, at least for serious hauling ass use anyway.

My first Helmet was a Suomy...Ventura. I bought a size to small but it was still a good lid...Quieter than my Scorpion but the Visor Fogged up worse. So its a give and take.

My first Suomy was a Ventura too. Shield never fogged on me. But it did fly open at speed if you turned your head. That annoyed me. But it was a very comfortable lid.

You had a Diff Visor so maybe thats why??? Mine was just clear...Same Style Suomy as Mine except I had Black and Silver not Blue....Def a Good Lid.

Suomy is one company I've stayed away from. Not that their products are inferior or anything,I just don't typically like their graphics and for the money,why not a Shark or high-end Arai? You typically can't walk in to a shop and pick up a visor. I've also heard that the shield change is fucking murder and it flips open at speed.
