TORC T1/Newport Fiberglass Full Face Motorcycle Helmet DOT & ECE Approved

This helmet is very comfortable, light and the build quality is pretty decent. My measurement was exactly 24 inches, so I decided to get a large instead of the XL ( my half helmet is a XL and fits perfect ). The description indicates that the sizing does run big and they are correct. The large size fits me perfect.The wind noise is fine up to 70 miles per hour...not sure how it is beyond that as my motorcycle ( 2022 Royal Enfield 350 classic ) tops out at that speed.The helmet does have a loud whistle when the visor is UP. I noticed that it comes from the gap between the visor and the helmet...so...I am going to place a strip of thin weatherstripping to fill in the gap and see if that fixes it....I'll update the review later.I ordered the rootbeer brown and the paint/color are super nice.Overall I am very happy with the helmet and would order one again....especially if its on sale.

Very happy with this purchase.The good:Quality surprisingly good, feels very solid and plush/soft inside, paint is nicePrice, just can't beat it compared to the expensive Bell equivalentECE ratingMultiple vents and 4 that can close (even better than Bell equivalent)The not so good:Sizing runs a bit big, but possibly not quite big enough that going down a size would fit better. Mine works, but could feel a bit more snug, but I think if I wet down a size it would be too tight, which is kinda unfortunate.Visor rubs along the chrome bit at the top of the opening, scratching the chrome and visor too I'd assume, although you can't really see that.Changing visors is definitely not easy, it could be worse for sure, but things don't seem to want to fit a lot of the time, and it's a bit of a task to fight a different visor back on.All in all, Worth it for the money.

This is my very first motorcycle helmet so I don't have a lot to compare it to. I shopped around for a lot of helmets and I really wanted two things, a wide field of view, and one that was stylish. While googling wide field of view helmets I saw the Bell Bullit and loved its style. This style is one of the few for full-face helmets that I think look really sharp. But the Bell helmet used real leather. Don't get me wrong, leather is an amazing material and most won't pay more for faux leather, but I've recently become very concerned about the welfare of animals and so I specifically googled for knock-off helmets for the Bullit with faux leather and this one came up. Personally, I think this one is even more stylish, and I really have no complaints. I bought it in matte black and I've been riding around in 90+ degree heat with the vents open and the helmet doesn't seem too hot. I love the way the visor looks when it is both up and down, and you keep your chin protection with the visor up because the visor is not connected to the chin piece like on many helmets. I got a small and the helmet fits tightly on my head, I think I measured and I was just on the border between XS and S.On the highway, I do feel a lot of wind resistance against my head at 70 mph. I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I can tolerate it just fine. My bike also has no wind screen. I've heard this helmet is less aerodynamic or louder than others, but I feel no rush to get another helmet. This one seems just fine for me. The wide field of view and styling seems to be worth whatever the cost is in aerodynamics to me. I do wear ear plugs underneath it when I am going to go on the highway, and the noise levels seem fine. My helmet is pretty snug so I have to put the ear plugs on before the helmet goes on. I can still slide sunglasses on and drink water through the visor opening though. When I take the helmet off, my flanged ear plugs usually get pulled out by the helmet lining.The only reason I'd get another helmet maybe is because I have no place to store the helmet when I get off the bike and even with earplugs out and the visor up conversation is a bit muffled, although I can still carry on a conversation in a relatively quiet room at normal speaking volume. I'm not sure any other helmets are better without being a half helmet which offers very little protection. I could see maybe using a half helmet though instead on a day where you will mostly be cruising around town at low speeds and interacting with people, so you can just wear your helmet where you go and still carry on a conversation without taking the helmet off.

To start with, this is Chinese made despite the Torc name. Torc does not make this helmet, if you go on Alibaba you'll find the actual supplier with several other styles not offered by Torc.That said, the helmet is very comfortable and fits really well, the protection it offers is still very good with DOT and ECE certifications. The vents although not obvious to find while riding and wearing gloves(the top ones at least) they're easy to use and can still be opened and closed after fumbling for them a bit. I recommend you get a tinted visor or wrap the clear visor with photochromic tint which is a transitioning tint. While I'm talking about the visor I'd also like to say the visor rubs on the chrome piece surrounding the face opening and over time leaves some marks on it, however it's not noticeable while riding as it's out of the line of sight, and if you have a tinted visor you won't be able to see it from outside either.The wind noise is where the short comings of the helmet lie, for speeds above 60MPH you can hear the wind very strongly, I found that installing ear muffs to my comm speakers completely eliminated this issue.Other than that, the paint and quality of the shell and padding is very good quality. The style and wide view make it a very rewarding helmet to wear as it looks very classy and you don't compromise on visibility at all, my shoulder checks have never been easier, I just turn my head 90 degrees and peek with my eye the rest of the way. Mirror checks can be done without turning your head at all.It's a great helmet, but expect some minor issues as mentioned above, I think style, comfort and visibility alone outweigh the cons. And the cons can be improved upon as mentioned above.
