If you haven’t heard of Suomy in the past you’re not alone, the company has only been making bike helmets since 2015. However, the brand is well known in the motorsports industry for high-end lids and loud graphics.
The Italian brand ventured into the world of bike helmets putting Gun Wind lids atop the heads of the Lampre-Merida team. Launched alongside the Gun Wind was the Scrambler MTB lid.

Strapping the Scrambler on it’s a comfy lid, the padding is just right and there are no hot spots to speak of. The ‘Biaxal Size Adjuster’ offers easy one-handed adjustment and there are four separate height adjustments, and I found the lowest setting placed the retention system snugly at the bottom of my occipital bone.
The Scrambler also doesn’t need to be wrenched down to stay in place, even through the bumpiest sections of trail the lid stayed planted with the straps and retention system moderately tight.
With so many vents I was a bit surprised at the Scrambler's ventilation. There are 23 vents on offer, but not much air that flows through the helmet and that’s because there’s not much in the way of internal channeling. That said I never had an uncomfortably hot head as the size and number of vents allows plenty of heat to escape.
