Don't Panic People!!

Suomy USA, the company I used to work for, no longer represents the brand in the US. I now work directly for the factory, Suomy Spa. We still have three distributors, Parts Unltd, Van Leeuwen and Romaha. They have all the latest 2009 models in stock. My job is to support the distributors, dealers and provide customer service for Suomy owners.

The race suopport program, as it has existed for the last few years, will be put on hold temporarily. Once we have regrouped we will get it up and running again. Suomy isn't going away guys, if anyone needs ANYTHING, whether it be parts, warranty, tech support etc feel free to contact me.

I remember this guy, still have him in my email list from when I contacted Suomy USA last year for a minor part replacement.  Good guy and very helpful, I think we'll be fine.

Bummer. I have 2. One for the road, one for the trail. Both are awesome and fit great. Other helmets I have tried sit too far below the jaw, it makes doing a swivel head difficult. RIP SUOMYUSA.

Pretty lame to refuse to warranty product you profited from. Yes, I understand that there is still a warranty but when these products were sold they agreed to handle that.
