If you're looking for a helmet that can handle the harsh conditions of the desert while keeping you comfortable, the Klim R1 Fresh Air Helmet is worth checking out. I’ve put this bad boy through its paces, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. The first thing you’ll notice is the top air fresh air inlet—it really does a solid job of keeping the airflow going, which is crucial when you're out there battling the heat and dust. It’s like having a personal breeze, and trust me, that’s a luxury you’ll appreciate.

Now, let’s talk about the internal drop-down sun visor. It’s a lifesaver when you’re cruising into the sun or navigating those tricky trails. You can easily adjust it on the fly, so you’re not squinting while trying to focus on the road ahead. The visor is just one of those features that makes you realize how well-thought-out this helmet is.

This medium-sized helmet comes in a sleek matte black finish that not only looks sharp but also has a polycarbonate shell. That means it’s built to take a hit while keeping dust and debris at bay. Plus, it’s DOT approved and ECE 22-05 certified, so you know it meets the safety standards for recreational use—though it’s not meant for racing, so keep that in mind.

One thing I really appreciate is the PCI Custom Wiring that comes with it. You get a solid microphone and large, high-watt speakers, which are perfect if you’re riding with friends and need to stay connected. And the H2NO water-resistant pigtail is a nice touch for those unexpected weather changes. We all know how quickly things can turn out there!

Worried about dust getting in? The included dust skirt does a fantastic job of sealing things up, so you can focus on the ride instead of the grit. And when it comes to visibility, the EZ-Wipe optically-clear face shield is a must. It’s easy to clean and doesn’t distort your view, which is essential when you’re navigating tough terrain.

At just 3.8 lbs, this helmet is lightweight enough that you won’t feel like you’re lugging around a brick on your head. Overall, the Klim R1 Fresh Air Helmet is a solid choice for anyone serious about their off-road adventures. It combines comfort, safety, and functionality in a way that just works.

With more than 45 years of experience in the off-road racing industry, PCI Race Radios develops and tests all of its own products. The brand has a full-service technical repair shop at its headquarters in Long Beach, California, and provides trackside, mobile services to its desert enthusiasts at off-road races.

It also sponsors District 37, SCORE, SNORE, MDR, MORE, CORR, BITD, and provides desert racers with the Weatherman Relay Service. 

PCI Race Radios is a family-owned company that is dedicated to taking the time to both “race and play.” The company tests its products on dirt bikes, motorcycles, quads, rock crawlers, race cars, Raptors, RZRs, Mavericks, and boats. It can, therefore, thoroughly understand consumers’ needs and offer hands-on recommendations from experience.

Who is Behind PCI Race Radios?

PCI Race Radios was started in 1972 when Bob Steinberger put communications in the vehicles of Bill Stroppe, Joe MacPherson and Walker Evans. At the 1974 Mint 400, Steinberger sent up three weather balloons with 500 feet of coax attached to them. It was that day when the first successful radio relay from a pit was made. Since then, Bob’s iconic status has spanned through nearly half a century of work with his communications brand, PCI Race Radios.

Bob Steinberger passed away in 2017, handing over the company to his son Scott, who has been racing since 1983. Scott Steinberger understands what goes into racing and the importance of quality (communication) products that help get you to the finish line.
