suomy vandal helmet....reviews?

Hey everyone!

I was looking to maybe purchasing this helmet but was wonderin if any of you had this. If so, can you comment on quality and fit and durability? How do you like it? Worth the money?

Thanks!

I have quite a bit of helmets in the collection. I'll list them in order of preference:

1. Suomy Vandal (Favorite helmet. Great for track use and so comfortable. Noisy though, but I always wear earplugs)
2. X-Lite X801R (if you can find one....get it)
3. Arai Corsair (Too expensive now, but it's an Arai)
4. Vemar VSREV (I have 2 of these. Flows alot of air, but a bit heavy. Get a size smaller)
5. Sparx Rebel (Flows a ****load of air. Great for street use, but not the track. Get a size smaller) Super cheap too!!!
6. Shark RSX (Flows good air, but not too comfortable for me)
7. AGV Ti-tech (I have 2 of these that my wife gave me. Both Rossi Replicas. I really wish I liked these helmets, but they are not comfortable on my noggin.
7. OGK FF4 (tied for last, fits like the Ti-tech)

I would definitely get another Suomy Vandal and X-lite. I'd have to go to Europe to get the X-lite though. You can get the Vandal real cheap on e-bay. I got my Vandal Cult for $165; brand new and shipped.

I hope this helps y'all.
