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

The Torc T1 blends an exceptional mix of comfort, style, and quality at an unbeatable price.Firstly, you almost forget you're wearing a helmet, thanks to its amazing viewing angles and the comfortable fit. The matt black finish with chrome accents adds a timeless, classic look that perfectly complements my bike's style. I ride a Triumph T120 Black, so I really love a solid mix of old school aesthetics and modern functionality.Size-wise, it's spot-on. I own several other helmets, and this is by far the most comfortable one I have. While I typically wear an XL in other brands, following Torc's sizing advice led me to choose a Large, which fits perfectly. It's a stark contrast to the Bell Bullitt, which I returned after finding it uncomfortably tight on the sides of my face, even in an XL. I know this is subjective and may be remedied with thinner cheek pad inserts on other brands, but the Torc just feels good right out of the box.In terms of build and feel, the Torc T1 surprisingly outshines its pricier counterparts. It feels more upscale and modern compared to the Bullitt, yet retains a classic, simple aesthetic. It's hard to put into words, but the helmet feels premium, surpassing expectations, especially given its price point – a little over half the cost of the Bullitt. This aspect alone makes the Torc T1 feel like a steal.Ventilation is another strong suit. It vents well, ensuring comfort during rides. Though wind noise can be noticeable at speeds over 55mph, it's not terrible, and this is easily remedied with earplugs. It's an excellent helmet for around-town use. I've worn it through winter temperatures of 40-50def F and, paired with a neck gaiter and leather jacket, wind chill hasn't been an issue.To sum it up, the Torc T1 is an excellent investment in my opinion. Its combination of style, comfort, and affordability, coupled with a premium feel, makes it an easy choice. I would not hesitate to purchase this helmet again and highly recommend it. Don't be misled by its lower price compared to competitors; the Torc T1 is as premium in feel and appearance as they come, if not more. Order both and see for yourself if you don't believe me. I wish I'd saved myself the time and just pulled the trigger on the Torc initially.Cheers, and safe riding.

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.

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.
