Anybody can give an opinion on the Acerbis Impact Helmet? Build quality, comfort, fitment...Please refrain from comment if you don't have one, don't know anybody that has one or never actually seen one in your hands, I am definitely not interested in start a discussion on helmet safety, there is plenty of threads out there for that, Thanks.

Pro's:
-Fitment is true to size.
-Sits comfortable.
-Enough air intakes for hot days.
-The shell is good quality
-The helmet is light (I had a Suomy before which is just 800 grams and even this helmet feels light)
-It's cheap
-Great price-quality ratio

Con's
-The screws for the visor are really bad. I threw other screws on because you have to tighten them really tight or else it won't stay in position. Problem with that is is that it's really hard to make them loose.

-I do not really like the rubber, it feels kinda funky and cheap (only when cleaning).

-Only the cheek pads are fully removable (as far as I know).

You can't really go wrong with this helmet especially for the price. And it also looks good (in my opinion).

Would you prefer the Acerbis over the Suomy?

Yes, the rubbers on my Suomy were starting to come off and the liner got loose and didn't want to stay in place anymore. (after 1 year of riding) So the build quality is not that great of the Suomy.
