PRODUCT: VEMAR VRX5 HELMET
APPLICATION: DOME SAFETY
OPTIONS: XXS-XL
PRICE: $250
KEY FEATURES:
•    Killer graphics
•    Removable, washable liner
•    Carbon fiber/fiberglass blend shell
•    ECE/DOT rated

WHAT WE LIKE:
•    The graphics…obviously. Anytime you can incorporate sparkly-nipped caricatures of women with swords and feathers, we are for it.
•    Great fit. Our tester did not feel any pressure points, and the liner felt soft on the face.
•    Did we mention the graphics?
•    Plush liner; it felt soft and squishy without that soggy, heavy feeling
WHAT WE DIDN’T LIKE:
•    Visor sits too low, goon-factor is raised. Even at its highest positioning, we could see the too much visor in our vision.
•    Too much plastic on faceguard; the extra piece on the top of the mouth-piece seemed a little excess.

WHAT WE THINK:
We usually have boobies on our mind, but now everyone can see that with the latest VRX5 helmet from Vemar. Needless to say, these graphics are rad; stars, feather-clad hands, and of course, sparkling boobies. We can’t get enough of the burlesque show on our head. And yes, there is plenty of metal-flake in the graphics.
Overall, it is a comfortable helmet, and for the money, there are no more dynamic graphics out there. They look more like a custom paint job, than a stock water-graphic.
We haven’t crash-tested it yet, as we like to avoid crashing at the track, but we will let you know when and how it goes down when it does.
