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.

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

Suomy makes a badass lid, wore my friends very very light.
rf1000 also nice but heavier.

I heard they have low horizons on 'em. Meaning, if you're leaned over good and you're looking through the turn, you see the top of the eye opening on 'em. One of my buddies who had one agreed and Cycle Gear let him trade it for a Shoei.
