Suomy Let Me Down
I have worn Suomy exclusively for the last seven years and couldn't recommend a better lid but the new graphics left me wanting something more. The Arai vector is quieter than the Spec 1R but is heavier. Comfort is pretty much a wash between the two. The Spec 1R is the better of the two for track days due to lighter weight and better vision but as a day to day helmet the Vector is the way to go. They fit very similar so make you choice with either and you can't go wrong.

Good helmet, missing some features...
I have a rounder head and this fit the best compared to other high end helmets. The comfort level of this helmet is awesome. Bought this to replace an HJC and it is a night and day difference. I gave it a 4 for fit because the cheek is a little tight on me. The vector line is somewhat stripped down compared to other Arai lines. First, the liner is not removable. I believe the cheek pads are though (haven't tried). There is also no pull out chin visor like the other lines. It does fog a lot, but I think most helmets have that problem.
