So apparently this company, H&H, a big helmet OEM shell maker, has created a new brand called TORC. I've never seen one or heard of them before today, and at both shops I was at, they had just gotten them in recently.
One of the sales folk I was talking to wore an H&H Nitek helmet and said it was comfortable and quiet. I tried one on and HOLY CRAP IT WAS COMFORTABLE. Seriously. Even with the fancy pants Blinc Bluetooth speakers, it was maybe the most comfortable helmet I've tried. It also had like 5 separate adjustable vents on it in some fairly strategic locations and seems like it'll breath pretty well.
Here's the fun part though, the helmet was $169. I know how adamant a lot of people are about the whole "you get what you pay for" thing, so I was wondering if anyone's actually paid for one of these, wears one, tried one on, knows anyone who survived a wreck wearing one, etc.
Anyone?
