Anyone have experience with Z1R helmets?

[keira]

I found a design I like and it is about time to replace my Arai (let's just say they stopped producing the model I have a year BEFORE I bought it.....).

I do plan on using it for the random trackday, as well as fairly frequent street riding. Biggest problem I have is that I have no desire to travel to every shop in my area to find one to try on if it isn't worth it. I wear an XS Arai, and have trouble finding helmets that fit me (I have a square head), so I need to try them on before I buy them. I also refuse to buy a helmet on e-bay, because that scares me.

Weight (XS head comes with XS neck muscles), ventilation, fogging/antifogging, comfort to glasses wearers and (obviously) how well they protect a noggin are things I am concerned about, so if you know anything about them (crash-tested, wear one, know someone who loves it or hates it), please chime in!

Z1R helmets quality are bleh at best and not very popular. Since you have difficulty shopping for a helmet cause of your headshape
My suggestion is to find a helmet that fits you rather than shopping for a graphic.

Keira,

Have you looked at Shoei. The RF1100 is a great helmet for me. What I like about their helmet sizing is that they have Shell sizes to mach the interiors so the fits may be different if you've tried Shoei before and they weren't a good fit.
There are 5 shell sizes and six interior sizes.

She found a shop that carried them, and they felt very chincy, so they are now off the list. She has an Arai and i think she will have a tough time going to something that much lower...

She has a shop ordering in a Scorpion EXO-700 in XS so that she can try those on too.
