Anyone know if there's anyone in the U.S. that sells Airoh helmets? I want a TR1 bad...

International shipping makes it hard to justify the cost...

Seems I remember a few threads on them. Search for Airoh... see what the others have come up with already.

Importing your own is gonna make it too pricey - for sure!

Yeah, that's about all I came across as well. Looks like if I want to play I'll have to pay.

Not sure how I feel about spending $340 on a plastic helmet I can't even try on first...

You can always send the factory an email. They can certainly translate your English to Italian:

I just got a TR1 in matt black from these guys from Italy on ebay. It was 175.00 Euros total (149.50 + 25.50 for shipping) which converted to $265.37 USD. The shipped it via mail service and it took about 7 business days to arrive here in FL. Cool helmet. I did some reading up on them and they appear to run small in size, so I got an XL (I wear a large in AGV & HJC). Nice helmet and very light weight. It is not DOT rated however.

Yeah, the fact that it isn't DOT doesn't bug me, but the fact that the front piece won't do much for me in the event of a crash does... I think I'll keep looking around, but that italian ebay link is pretty inviting, lol

I agree. Although, I think it would hold up as well as the modular chin bar on my AGV Longway. I would guess that it would pop open if it took a direct hit.
