TORCT1/Newport Fiberglass Full Face Motorcycle Helmet DOT & ECE Approved

Have been using this helmet for about a month. It is stylish and comfortable. Great for riding in the city. Not for the highway because with the wind noise it gets unbearable after about 30 minutes. If you plan to use it in the highways I recommend getting earplugs (I use the Loop ones, they are great).

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.

I have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years and this is probably the most comfortable full faced helmet that I have owned. It also allows great all around visibility. I did have a small issue with the lining being crooked. I contacted Torc and in 3 days I had a replacement liner. Great company and a great product!

the people who like full face helmet - this is good choice and really good one.

I've been using this helmet for my daily commute since winter 2021.The helmet is still comfortable, vents keep it breathable, and the mirror bubble shield I got for it keeps the glare out.For a helmet at this price point with DOT and ECE certs and bubble shields, it is definitely a better, affordable option of the Bullet.

Like many people, I was debating between this helmet and the Bell Bullitt. I thought I would give this one a try first, but immediately knew it was being returned.First of all, it was a beautiful helmet.The gold flake looked so much better in real life than the pictures can do justice. It was a great looking helmet, and everything else seemed to be of very good quality. I was sorry I had to spring more money for the Bullitt, by why, you ask?The problem is in the shell size itself.I have a medium sized head, and slim build, and the Torc T1 made me look like a human bobble head. It was really HUGE.So I ordered the Bullitt, to compare and make sure it wasn’t just me, and the Bell looks perfect on my head and shoulders.Apparently Bell makes 3 shell sizes, to better match small medium and extra large heads, while it seems that Torc has a “one size fits all” shell.I kinda wish I could have kept the Torc, not just for the price, but the gold flake looked so cool! And I am not a flashy guy.I would say that if you have a larger head, and body frame to go with it, you will probably be happy with the Torc. Giving it three stars seemed a little unfair at first, but with my head size the helmet was laughable and no way I was going to use it, so I couldn’t give it more than that.By the way, I got the Bullitt in a different color, but the extra money really can be seen in the quality. Most importantly, for my Medium head, it looks amazing!

This helmet fits the look of my electric motorbike in a retro futuristic kinda way. It is comfortable, and the vents help get air in when it’s hot out.It can fog sometimes so I prob need ti get something for that, but it’s usually not bad.I bought the yellow shield as a swap and the color combo is cool.Best of all, I had a very minor fall of the bike and the helmet kept my noggin safe and has no signs of damage (though I didn’t really hit my head so I would’ve expected that).Be sure to measure accurately; I almost bought one size up and did a last min remeasure and glad I did. One size larger would’ve been too big

I downsized to medium even though I'm a large per majority of reviews that said to do so. Helmet is well made but the fit is very snug, almost too snug. I cant fit my airpods or sunglasses if I tri to put them on with the helmet that's how snug it is lol. I probably should've gone for the large like normal but that's what I get for listening to reviews too much.

Amazing helmet.I normally wear a shorty helmet, because of visibility, but there is absolutely no loss of visibility with this helmet.Air flow works.Sizing chart was dead on.You can smoke in it with the visor up.Very light.DISADVANTAGES:Chin strap had a pink buckle and quick release buckle would have been nice. (for getting it done up and undone while your hands are numb)The price nearly doubled since i bought mine.Finding a tinted visor is difficult.The 2 shyt stripes on it.All cosmetic issues. Or operator head space and timing issues.

It's a beautiful helmet but I don't think I can ever use it. I got a L whichh normally I struggle to get on but this one is too big and strangely has tons of space in front of the chin area which allows for a ton air to get in when riding at any kind of speed. This makes the helmet very unstable and unusable. Even getting a smaller size would have the same problem. What is wrong with whoever designed this??

I love this helmet. Fits good. Comfortable. Looks great. My only issue is this...one of the screws holding the shield was force-screwed in and was cross-threaded. I had to pry the screw out. Luckily, the soft aluminum didn't damage the brass insert and I was able to scrape out the aluminum shavings embedded in the insert and salvage the helmet. Not sure if this was a fluke but I did notice the screw head was beaten up from being turned in with what would have been a lot of tension. Buyer-Please check the fittings before altering the helmet in any way. I'm not blaming anyone, and I know stuff happens, but if someone didn't happen to check this till a shield change was needed, it would be a huge inconvenience.

The helmet feels cheap although comfortable and nice looking. The vents were stuck because of pieces of glue that were sticking out and in other areas as well. Whoever put the visor on at the factory put the screw in incorrectly so it's chewed up and the thread inside is as well. The screws are cheap aluminum so easily chewed up. Spend the extra money and get a proven similar style helmet from a reputable company.

I really like this helmet. Feels like a half helmet with no parts in your vision whatsoever unlike most full face helmets.It’s a little flimsy and definitely not the quality of a top tier helmet, but you can’t go wrong for the price! It exceeds my expectation at the price point it is in.
