Z1R Helmets

testimonials

I just want to thank you for making a product that helped save my life!! 4/15/2010 I had a car pull out in front of me and I t-boned it, hitting the windshield with my face and head, and being thrown 25 feet or so. I tore the ligaments in my right shoulder, broke all my right ribs with the 7th rib needing cut 2 inches and a plate installed, shattered my right hip ( 2 plates) and destroyed my right knee. I had very fine facial fractures of my orbital sockets sinus cavities but no major trauma to my face or neck.

6 weeks in the hospital / nursing home and 4 surgeries later I still have no issues with my head or neck. I am finally walking with assistance with a cane.

I guess what I am trying to say is Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for making such a great product. My motorcycle was destroyed but the helmet just has deep scratches. The face shield was not so lucky! I still have the helmet hanging in my garage as a reminder of how lucky I was.

Thanks again for helping to save my life;

I recently purchased one of your helmets. In fact my wife made the order and ordered two matching black/silver and gold trim 3/4 helmets that match the paint scheme of our 2002 Triumph Bonneville America. I am very pleased with the style, fit and color. I wore the helmet the first time and was involved in an accident where I collided with a car that stopped in my path. I was ejected off my bike and over the car. The helmet worked as advertised and I was spared serious or fatal head injuries. I am ordering a new helmet to replace it and look forward to replacing the Triumph as well. I appreciate your research and development of such a good product. I just wish that it could be manufactured here in the United States rather than China. I recommend your helmets without hesitation.

Thanks,

Dear Z1R,

"I just got my motorcycle permit at the tender age of 46. Here in Pennsylvania we have a beginner's motorcycle safety course that gives me my license at the completion. A helmet is required for all permit riders so I began to look around. Tonight I purchased a Phantom Purgatory. I was stoked when I saw the styling but figured it wouldn't be in my price range. Just wanted to say I appreciate you putting a stylish quality helmet out there for a reasonable price. Look forward to getting on the road."

Thanks again,

Bill R.

"I just wanted to write and thank you for making your helmets in such a high quality. I went shopping for a new 1/2 helmet last Wednesday and chose your Nomad Marauder for it's comfortable fit and lower profile on the head than other 1/2 helmets I have tried in the past. While I never expected to actually have to put it to the test, I was in an accident the very next morning on my way to work. I managed to go down clear of the bike but landed directly on the side of my head before rolling over onto my shoulder. I sustained 7 broken bones total, 5 ribs, a broken scapula, and a broken clavicle, which had to have a stainless steel plate bolted to it. The amazing thing was due to my new helmet, my head was protected to the point that I didn't even get the slightest bit of a headache through all of it. The helmet itself suffered some deep scratches to the shell and visor but did its job perfectly. Without it, I would have been unconscious or worse. I never expected to buy a helmet and need to replace it so quickly, but it was probably the best purchase I have ever made. I will definitely be replacing this one with another Z1R helmet. I like the looks of the Nomad Sinister but hopefully I won't have to put it to the test like I did this time.

Thanks again for the superior quality products, without your helmet on I most likely wouldn't be able to type this email now. A very satisfied customer." - Jason M.

"Just wanted to thank you for producing a quality product. I was recently in a motorcycle accident with a Z1R helmet that I purchased about three months ago. I'm afraid I tested it's all around capabilities, literally all around. It did its job well. I'm still here.

Thanks again, and take care." -Tom Brand

"Well I wore the UP300 special Nemesis today for the first time and I am glad to report. TWO THUMBS UP!!

Best features for me:

Does not move around - stays were you need it to stay

Ample room for goggles...I hate having the helmet push goggles into my nose, which causes breathing problems.

Light weight

Chin strap stays in position & doesn't choke...another air restriction problem

Smart styling...matches my KTM colors

Cooling...seems very well designed for flow thru ventilation.

I will wear my second, different color, Nemesis at the Colorado RM400 ride with great pride. What a great helmet for the price!! You can quote me on that!" -Ron B.

I'd like to say that I use Z1R helmets exclusively. I'm extremely satisfied with the level of comfort and style I get for my money, especially compared to more mainstream manufacturers. I also couldn't be happier with the customer service I've received today. The response I got was prompt, friendly, and was clearly written by somebody who actually took the time to read my complaint and formulate a valuable response.

Thanks! " -Craig, Panama City

I wanted to write and let you know how much I appreciate the awesome design of the Venom helmet line (I currently own two of the Venom designs - the Saber and the Rubstone Black). The fit is phenomenal and is more comfortable than any other full-face helmet I've ever worn. There are so many features that I value in this great helmet: the awesome field of vision, the fog free shield, the venting, the snapping chin strap, the washable lining, and the sleek look. The innovative locking mechanisms of the face shield is STELLAR, making it far easier to switch shields when I need my shaded shield! Even if I forget to lower my shield before I launch down the track, the shield stays on the helmet and does not rip off while going 120 + miles per hour down the strip. THANK YOU!

I recently purchased one of your venom snowmobile helmets and I can honestly say it is the first helmet I've ever owned that doesn't fog up, and we ride a lot no matter what it's doing outside.

I couldn't be happier how this thing fits and performs.

It's just so good to see a company that pays attention to detail. Great product and you have a costumer for life!

Thanks -Jay B.
