Tested By: Fred Rating: Quality: 9 Ease of Install: 10 5-June-2002 Pros Sizing on the helmet seems to run maybe on the snugger side of the fitting scale and it fit my round oval head perfect. The interior (which is fully removable) feels very nice on your skin and is also nice and firm without being uncomfortable and the shield is easily removed and put back on by a simple to use sliding latch. While I was wearing it on my first ride I noticed that the peripheral vision from the helmet was awesome. It really lets you get an unobstructed view out of the helmet enabling you to get a good look through the corner. The venting was also top notch keeping my small size noggin nice and cool on a hot Florida afternoon. Again, I come back to the weight or lack of weight from the helmet with it being so light and comfy it allows you to really concentrate on your riding. Cons There were only two things I didn’t care for. The helmet bag could be nicer and the cheek pads are held in place by VERY sticky velcro which makes getting them back in place a little hard because they want to stick to the plush liner. Compared To   Review Summary Shopping for a high end helmet these days can be very confusing and frustrating. There are a lot of helmets to choose from and I have seen first hand the frustration in searching for a premium lid. I made a call To Intersport Fashions West (The importers for Vemar) and asked to get some info on the new Vemar VSR professional racing helmet. They did more than that, they supplied me one to review. I was real excited when it arrived at my door, and when I pulled it out of the box I almost fell over by how light it was. It was still in the helmet bag and for a second I thought maybe they sent me just the shell because it was so light. After pulling the helmet out of the bag and seeing that yes, there was a complete helmet in there I couldn’t wait to go for a spin. The Graphics on the VSR GP1 I received were beautiful. The bright colors and perfect clearcoat were better than I expected. The shell is a Tricom construction (carbon/dyneema/fiberglass) and is Dot and Ece-2205 approved (The highest European safety rating and required for Motogp) and is available in two shell sizes XXS-Med and Lg-XL. If you are looking for a premium helmet that is very comfortable, lightweight with top notch graphics, fit & finish that rivals any helmet out there then I am highly recommending getting to your local dealer or contacting Intersport Fashions West.
