Good Helmet
I pealed off the stickers when I got it as I am not about flashiness when I ride. Padding makes it hard to wear glasses in and sometimes hard to unfold ears when putting on. Other than that, its a great plain helmet.

Nice Helmet, Nice Price
Great ventilation and view. The lining is easily removed for cleaning, too. Using the sizing chart I ordered a large. I found the cheek pads very tight. I called KBC and they sent replacements at no charge. Now the helmet is snug, but comfortable. According to previous reviewers, most have found KBC helmets snug. I'd have to agree, and one should be wary of size. I bought this on sale and considering the price, the helmet is an incredible value.

Nice Helmet
These do tend to run a little small. I normally wear a medium but purchased a large. It is very tight. My wife has an X-large and it fits pretty good. As long as you go up a size or two you are fine. Otherwise, the quality of the helmet is great!

KBC VR-1X Solid helmet
First full face helmet I've owned. I was a little apprehensive but once I wore it I was sold. Great fit, very good visibility, and much more quiet than what I'm used to. Price was perfect for my budget.

KBC- VR- 1X Solid Helmet
Bought it for the price and looks aren't bad. I'm not a flames guy... With the exception of being too tight around my cheek bones, the fit is excellent. It's good for quiet. All around good purchase.

KBC VR-1X helmet
I've had the helmet for one month, so am not sure about long term durability. However, it is well built. For the price paid it is a great buy. Some wind noise seeps through, but I am satisfied with the helmet.

Wrong size
I wear a 2x in other brands I have owned, this 2x fits my 8 year old son great. It works out well, he needed it anyway. Order 1 or 2 sizes up or if you can try one on first. A 2x would not even fit my head.

Great place to shop for Motorcycle gear
The weather isn't cooperating in Michigan, so I haven't had a chance to take this helmet on the road; however, I am happy with fit and finish. I felt the size chart was "spot-on" ... and the price was unbelievable. Another great shopping experience.

Great Deal on a Nice Helmet
Overall well-made and very comfortable. Average weight for size. Vents do leak just a touch when closed which is very noticeable in cool Rocky Mountain temps. No regrets in the purchase. Very pleased.

excellent buy for the money
I've owned countless helmets thru the years and this one was
a good choice. I normally wear a half shell on my Sportster
but sometimes it gets cold enough for a full face...even in Florida. This one has been getting the job done well.

KBC-VR-1X Solid helmet review
Great helmet! Finish is superb, excellent shield adjustments. I've yet to road test it, as winter in the midwest is 'til April. Do order a size larger though. Great value, I bought another style for off-roading soon after as well.

KBC full face helmet
Nice snug fit. Good wind seal. Low noise. I like the shield that keeps breath from my nose off the visor. Really helps keep it clear in sub-freezing weather. Ventilation is just right even in cold weather. My only criticism is sharp edges on the metal loops that buckle the strap. A little tough on hands in cold weather. Over all a great helmet that allows good movement. Great for the money.

Same fit as the original VR-1
I have a KBC VR-1 that I bought about 5 years ago. It's a size medium and fits me well. When it came time to replace it, I was very happy to see that they brought out the VR-1X, and at a discount at that. My main concern was that it would fit differently, something that happens sometimes with helmets. I'm happy to say that it fits great, just like the other helmet, and the fit and finish are of excellent quality. I simply love the VR-1X, and I think that the quality is far above the price they're selling it for on Motorcyclesuperstore.com. It's a great deal!

Best helmet that was on SALE!
My normal hat size is 7 and three quarter; that relates to an XLarge normally. I ordered the largest (2XLarge) in grey in this helmet because of the size review recommendations. While I can't get the helmet on with the cheek pads installed, it fits perfect when I remove them. The quality of this helmet shows in the great looking internal pads and shell construction. I hear a bit of wind noise with the shield fully closed but that’s not a big deal. This helmet feels like it could really protect me in a fall with all the stuffing that’s inside the bucket. I was very happy with this order.

Great Helmet
This is my first helmet and I love it. It hasn't fogged up on me yet, but it's still summer so the true fog test will come when the cooler weather comes around. It has pretty good ventilation, although I can't tell much of a difference when the upper vents are open and closed. It's nice and quiet, but does have a slight squeak at higher speeds from the non-air tight seal when the visor is closed. Not a big deal to me. I'm coming from a half helmet so the noise level is outstanding since that's all I have to compare it to. Oh yeah, did I mention that when I have it on, it seems to weigh about the same as the half helmet I used to wear. Extremely LIGHT and no buffetting!!! Awesome helmet and GREAT price!!!
