• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I don't sing well enough for the aria.:D

That seems to be equivalent to the Arai I bought. I just never got a chance to try on the Suomy. The Arai is very comfy.

Where is the Suomy made? Arai is made in Japan.

I'm not sure were it's made. I like the fact that is D.O.T. and BSI 6658 Type A (British Standards institution) tested. I would like to know if the inners are changable like the Aria and removable.
 
Made in Italy I found. Also seems like at least some models have changeable inner pieces.

I think a lot of these are just a choice. You would need to take a good test ride to see if the noise levels were different, if the air flow was too much or too little etc. That's not too likely in the places I've tried to shop at. I don't think they're offering test rides in these helmets but if you could it would probably make the decision for you.

Shoei, Arai, Suomy, and maybe a couple of others have excellent ratings and high prices. Some cheap ones have good ratings too.

I'm honestly unsure of what it all means in the long run. The Arai that fit me was pretty plush. I may buy another one. Not yet in the market for a new one.
