Default 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).

Looks like he is going to get the short end of the stick!

I have a Suomy Spec1R (very very similar in fit to the Vandel line)...Fits me the best of any lid and is quite light, but quite noisy. Just wear earplugs for the air noise.

Is this an upgrade or no?

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:

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.
