Love it
This is my first helmet and I looked at tons of them online. Read all the reviews and decided that I would start with a more moderately priced option. I feel I made the right choice. This helmet fits great. Comfortable right out of the box. Sizing chart worked perfectly. It looks really cool (Candy Red). The venting is fairly rudimentary but since it is open overheating isn't really an issue. Would highly recommend it if you do not want to spend a whole lot.

Runs a little large
I normally wear a medium helmet, so I bought this one in a medium, and it is a little too loose on my head. Other than that, it is a good helmet.

Excellent product. Very happy with the purchase and the handling of the order. I am hard to fit as I need a large size helmet. This one works perfectly.
Thanks

Nice inexpensive helmet
The Z1R Ace helmet it nicer than most comparably priced helmets. By size medium that I purchased is a little looser than all other mediums I tried. It is pretty comfortable. The strap is in a good place, not too far back like on some other brands. During the hot summer rides, the vent system keeps my head at a comfortable temperature.
The best thing about this helmet is the perfectly clear and distortion-free face shield. It is so clear that I forget that it is there. The vents on the helmet direct air onto the shield so it doesn't fog up in normal conditions. On cool humid mornings, the shield can be opened a crack to let a little more air through without getting real loud. Riding with the shield fully open is really noisy.
At speeds of 45 mph or less, the helmet is pretty quiet inside. At 50 or more it gets loud really quickly.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Ace helmet.

Love the helmet
Great helmet for the price! The venting works. I might have gone a size smaller then I measured but no problems at all.

Fits great and shield works more smoothly than most. Less wind noise than HJC open face.

Z1R - Ace Helmet
I bought this helmet because it looks great and the excellent reviews it got. Can't believe the price for a polycarbonate helmet! Well, they were right. I love it. Fits great. I like the feature to remove the face shield [live in Texas]. I certainly recommend this helmet and Motorcycle Superstore. Great helmet, great store.

Z1R Ace Helmet
The Z1R Ace Helmet is exactly what I wanted and needed. It fits well and the ventilation helps to keep the inside of the helmet cool. The full face shield protects against the bugs that my windshield misses. I can wear my sunglasses inside of the full face shield. I have been using it and I am very pleased with it.

Great price. It's hard to find a 3Xl helmet that fits right but this one fit the bill.

Great helmet, great value.
Have had this helmet for about a month now and fit a little snug at first but breaks in great and is really comfortable. Shield stays in place, and helmet is roomy so your ipod ear phones are really comfortable. I would recommend this product or would gladly purchase again.

Great helmet!
I love this helmet! Got it in wine. Had tried a full helmet but was feeling claustrophobic and my glasses kept fogging up. No fogging with this one!

Z1R Ace Helmet
I bought this helmet to wear in warmer weather, on my bikes that do not have windshields. It is a very functional, high quality, high value product. The tip up face shield stays where you put it. The finish of the helmet is flawless. My only complaints at this time, after probably a thousand miles of wear, are the flat stamped strap rings which are cheesey on any helmet -- why don't the manufacturers give us round rings again? And the fit around the jaw where the helmet chafes just a bit. I hope the chafing will diminish with some break in. Motorcycle Superstore's performance, as almost always, was flawless. Easy ordering and very fast shipment. I recommend this Helmet and Motorcycle Superstore to everyone who rides an unfaringed/no windshield bike.

ace zr1..great buy
Bought this helmet as a shielded option for my rides. Turns out, it's more comfortable than my lid and doesn't sacrifice visibility. It's now my primary. Great buy for the money. Actually, great buy period. Highly recommended

great helmet for the price
I have been using this helmet for about a month now and love. The price is great, it's comfortable, and the shields are easy to change. The vents are small yet they give you a decent amount of air.

I tend to be a bit claustrophobic and the helmet came forward too much at the chin, my face is round and I found it very tight and could not handle it so I returned it and found a GMX. That was more comfortable.

Well Made Helmet at a Reasonable Price
Perfect fit. I measured my head and bought the recommended size and it is very comfortable. I bought this model for cold weather riding and it has fulfilled its purpose nicely.

All in all, a great helmet.
Bought this helmet for scooter riding in the city and I love it! Great look, also love the optically correct face shield - this makes a huge difference, it's like the shield isn't even there. Incredibly well ventilated, never too hot or too cold. Only complaint is that I probably should have bought one size smaller. According to the size chart, I needed a Small, but an XS would really have been perfect.

Z1R HELMETS ARE TOPS
I've tried dozens of helmets over the years and for me and my money, Z1R helmets are without a doubt the best helmets I have ever tried. Style, fit, comfort, and durability make Z1R helmets a bargain. I won't buy anything else.

This helmet fits well. Blocks a lot of wind noise. Shield whistles when up all the way. At this price I will be able to replace it when it gets scratched up.

I love this helmet. It is good looking and durable. The front shield works great. And what a value for the price.

Great protection at a great price
I did some research before I bought this helmet. I was greatly influenced by the crash testing done on this helmet. I really like the flip up visor cause I can raise it to get more wind in my face when putting around town. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

When looking a new open face helmet ,I choose Z1r because of the fit of my Strike full face. I like it much better than my HJC AC-3.

Z1R Open Face Helmet with shield
I tried similar helmets at local dealers just to get a feel and fit. Being off season most of the dealers had limited selections due to displaying gear for the winter sports. I've shopped on-line periodically, but always have reserves about doing so. Since I needed a proper helmet for my safety course, I decided to give Motorcycle Superstore a try, which by the way was an over all pleasant experience. The helmet looked and performed as advertised and lived up to the positive reviews which I researched before purchasing. I received compliments about the helmet during the course. Riding moderate wind and temperatures averaging 45 degrees didn't bother me at all. The helmet provided protection and comfort. The flip up/removable shield worked perfectly with zero glare even when the sun finally decided to show and the convenience was the envy of my snap on and shieldless classmates. I experienced zero noise from wind and was able to hear the instructors without a problem even when engine noise was a factor. All this for about $20-$30 cheaper than other brands I found at the dealers. Great product and good service.

After tyring on over 20 helmets the Z1R produced a snug fit without being uncomfortable. Around town you can leave the visor up and enjoy the fresh air. Excellent peripheral vision.

Nice helmet for the money. Fits great and the shield keeps the wind and bugs off. It's a great helmet if you hate wearing a full face, but want some shield protection.

Nice fit, very well ventilated and comfortable. I ride in Texas so the vents are very important. Highly recommended if you are looking for an open face helmet like this.

Everything connected to the purchase went extremely well. I am a VERY satisfied customer and would buy again and recommend to anyone. The helmet is made well and fits wonderful. I ordered the XL instead of the L and it fit better giving me more room without shifting around. Order your helmet today!!

Z1R Ace Helmet
I bought this helmet for my wife and boys when I have them as a passenger. It's a good quality helmet and looks good. They tell me it fits comfortably. I like that the liner can be removed and washed. If there was an optional visor for it, that would be the best. Pleased with the purchase overall though.

Ace Helmet
Helmet is very comfortable and sharp looking. Comes with a nice carry bag too which you can use when locking up the helmet to prevent scratches. Only con about this helmet is that the manufacturer does not off replacement liners.
