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). |

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: IMG00175.jpg

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 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.
