Default Any experience with Hebo Raptor or Legend helmets?

When testing the track for tomorrow's club race, I crashed at the wallride today, and need to replace my helmet. Got no injuries, but some scratches to my Airoh Aviator 2.0 carbon helmet an my newly bought Pod knee braces. I have used this Airoh a few years, and was thinking of replacing it anyway.

As the Norwegian Gasgas importer is also my closest enduro / Mx retailer, I am planning a trip to look at the Gasgas and Hebo helmets in his shop. I presume the Gasgas helmet is a Hebo Raptor, while the current top of the line Hebo offering is named Legend.
I'm after a carbon / fiberglass helmet. Good ventilation and low wheight are top priority. But of course, it has to fit my head. The Aviator fits me nicely, as does my Shohei XR-1000 street/racing helmet.

Any experience on the Hebos regarding fit and ventilation?

Thanks

I love my Hebo Raptor not as light as my Hebo Carbon or as much ventilation but still great!

Used my new Hebo Legend at the 3 hour Gotland Grand National race. So far, I'm very pleased with the helmet. Light weight, fits my head well. Better space for goggles than in my Airoh Aviator. I had no problems with the ventilation (it was about 14 dec C), but I still presume that the Aviator is better in that respect.
