Pros: Almost everything about this helmet is great. The first thing I noticed was how light it was, even compared to the Shoei. As far as ventilation goes, it gets the job done. In Texas the summers are extremely hot and the Suomy keeps me from wanting to rip my helmet off everytime I pull up to a red light. The graphics really have to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. It looks good in the pictures but the colors are much more vivid in person.
Cons: The only bad thing I can even think of, and this is being picky, is that some of the graphics weren't placed correctly so one of the stars on the back doesn't line up and the stars on the chin are off-center. Like I said, mediocre, but when people are paying $500 or more I would expect them to take a little more time with it.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: I moved from a medium Shoei Caster and the Suomy fit better all around...most likely because they are made for different shaped heads.
Comments: Overall a wonderful helmet, and with all of the amazing designs Suomy has I think they just found another long-time customer.
