I'm getting ready to by my soumy helmet(gambler verson this weekend online) and I was wondering is there a huge difference in fitments cause I'm a ,medium in every helmet...arai shoei...etc.... and I'm gonna order a medium in soumy its jus tht I heard the fitment is not good for certain people...wht should I do...and I dnt no any shops around my area tht see soumys for me to try on...jus wanna knw if the fitment is really off or no

 

I feel that the Spec1r and RX7 corsair fit the same (to me). I wear small in both but I can't fit a small Shoei RF1000 or Arai Quantum.

 

My Vandal fits like a RX7.

 

OK THNKS FOR THE HELP GUYS...ORDERIN THE HELMET RIGHT AFTER THIS POST...CAN'T WIAT FOR IT TO COME IN..WILL GET SME PICS UP AS SOON AS I GET IT

 

where you ordering from ?

 

This is the cheapest I found it...metricbikes-superstore.com...cheapest one I found

 

I dunno buy when I try on my brother's Suomy, the mouth area seems way to close. My RX7 is nice and roomy.

 

Yeah my suomy extreme fits quite abit tighter then my shark.

I wear a large in the 1R and a medium in the 1R extreme.

 

ordering a helmet before you ever try it on is pretty dumb

Prus 2.

I know your q is regarding Suomy helmets, but I will offer this tidbit about Arai anyways. Arai makes 3 different "interior shapes." Round oval, intermediate oval and long oval. Once you have determined the best interior shape for your head any "authorized" Arai dealer is then supposed to fit the internals of the helmet to your head. Cheekpads, crown. etc come in different sizes/thicknesses because, well not everyones head is the same shape. I had my Arai fit by Robert at The Service Pavillion and he learned me on proper helmet fit guidelines, resulting in the most comfortable/best fitting/ safest helmet Ive owned yet.

Reason I say all this is to give a little insight as to why:

Its not a good idea to pick a helmet based on the graphics only. Fit is the most important.

 

it's weird, cause an arai rx-7 medium fits me a little loose. and a shoei x 11 medium fits me really tight.

your saying your a medium in both arai and shoei when i've had a different experience. i would go to a shop to try the same model on in the right size before spending that kinda money on a helmet...
