TORC T50 Open Face 3/4 Motorcycle Helmet with Graphics

This helmet is great. I have been looking for a 3/4 helmet that fit well and didn't make me look too much like an astronaut. This one fits the bill. Cannot bet the price either. It was under $50 when I got it in Oct 2016. I ordered 2 of them and indeed go the newer one with the brown inside and metal rim. This was exactly the one I wanted. It comes with a nice protective carry case as well as a small peak visor to help shield against the sun.If you have looked at the Bell 500 or the Biltwell 3/4 helmet this fits pretty similar but is much cheaper. I wanted to get one with a bit more of a design but could not pass up the price.A few things you will notice if you are coming from a full face or beanie. The area around the hear will feel/sound hollow. The fit around the face for me is nice and snug. Some may say tight but I would not want it any other way as I don't want wind to to be blowing in around my face and causing more noise to my ears. Although it is snug, I can still slid in a pair of sunglasses to finish of the look. I also bought a pair of Original KD's to go with these for $6 off amazon and it works great.I ridden with this only in weather that is about 5-15 degrees Celsius (40-60 F) and it is great. If you've never had an open face you will realize the true freedom of having the wind in your face lol.. Of course, it is not a safe as a full face. Surprisingly as well, there is less wind noise for me when I use my 3/4 or my beanie compared to using my full face.If you do want a face shield for this, the 3 button snap at the top makes it fit almost any generic shield made for 3/4 helmets. You can even find ones that flip up and down.Pro:PriceFitLookQualityLight weightFast shippingCon:Non as of yet.

I love this helmet so far. I have ridden about 3,000 miles with it, and have found it to be very comfortable. It's exceptionally quiet for a vintage, open face style helmet. It matches the 1971 motorcycle perfectly I bought it for, and receives a lot of positive comments.

Built extremely well, beautiful finish, very comfortable and almost zero wind noise. Love it!!!

I quite like this helmet and would but it again. It is the style I was looking for and a good fit.I used their measurement chart to find my size. It was very tight at first, but this was expected. Like all helmets I've ever had, it loosened up a little after short use. It now fits perfectly.It includes a face shield, which I was not expecting. I ordered one separately and I'm glad I did. The included face shield does not bubble out enough, so my nose is constantly touching it. The included shield also does not slide up.There is also no ventilation with this helmet, so if you are using the included shield, it will be hot. However, the separate shield I bought fits on it nicely and breathes better. There is also a snap on the back for goggles if you would rather use those.The ear pads also detach, which helps the fit early on and also increases the air flow a bit.The helmet also comes with a separate visor (which cannot be used with the face shield) and a draw string bag. Like the shield, I have never used the visor because the shield I bought includes a visor.Fortunately I did not buy this helmet with the accessories in mind. The helmet itself looks good, seems to provide good protection, and is a good fit. It was what I was looking for and I would buy it again.

This is my fourth Torc t-50 purchase, so safe to say I like the brand, and model. I buy them when I can get them for a discounted price, making them an even better value than they already are at retail. I am not picky about the color or graphics, if I can get one at the right price. Okay on to this one : the ad is for the T-50C (“Classic”) which is supposed to be a more basic version of the T-50, having no chrome strip around the face and a basic black, simplified interior. My Amazon Warehouse super bargain is turned out to be a T-50 with the chrome accent and fancier soft brown interior, a pleasant surprise. The upgrade and price (~20% of current retail for a gloss black t-50 helmet, ~30% for a T-50C) mollifies me a bit from the date in the helmet being from 2012, making this actually the oldest Torc that I have owned. Apparently, this helmet sat on the shelf somewhere, for a long time. I am taking one star off for that. A helmet that sat on the shelf that long should be heavily discounted, if sold at all.As noted by some reviewers these helmets can fit snug on the cheeks, but I find this quite tolerable, if not comforting. and seems to ease up with wearing. I normally use size XL for helmets, and hats and that is what I buy in Torc helmets, I find them overall well fitting, and quite comfortable. I find the fit , finish, and durability of Torc t-50 helmets to be excellent, especially for being in the mid to lower end of the helmet price range.The helmet I am replacing is a Torc T-50 in metallic Blue and fancy crossed piston graphics (which I was going to paint over, but they grew on me) that has been in service about five years, and is just starting to show wear, and soiling in the interior. I would have continued to wear it for a while longer, but finding this bargain is pushing me to replace it. I will continue to buy Torc helmets as I feel they meet my price, quality, safety and value points, especially if I can pick one up at the odd close out, or return discounted bargain price.
