i dont know of anywhere that carries their line, mine was just bought off of kneedraggers.com. i can tell you they fit alittle tighter than most, but the quality and airflow is top of the line.

Might have to check them out. Scott, what model of Suomy do you wear and what size is it? They are closing out on the Gunwind model (discontinuing it) and I've been thinking about picking one up hoping it will flow more than my damn HJC.

I'll have to wear my Arai Signet tomorrow to see if there is a difference in how cool it keeps my big head. I closed all the vents on my HJC and it didn't make a bit of difference in how cool it kept my head :mad:

Yes, my HJC is cheap :( Didn't get a chance to ride to work this morning because I thought it might rain and stuck here until 11pm which makes finding a ride home a little difficult :(

This is what I'm liking about the Suomy compared to my HJC and Arai. More holes in the helmets for venting. I'll have to take some comparison pictures later but both the HJC and Arai have like four holes and not the deep channels that the Suomy has. The HJC gets even worse as the vent controls on the outside of the helmet are simply that, holes. At least the Arai has a duct that funnels air into the helmet.

The inside of the shell is designed to move air. The channels are deep, and the vent holes are situated to allow the air to enter, and exit, without being inhibited.

Notice the center front vent. This is the ONLY hole that is closed off with the top lever. The other 7 vent holes remain open.
