Torc Head Gear was founded in 2013 by Brian and Michelle Kress, emerging from their previous venture, K-9 Custom Helmets. The brand quickly distinguished itself in the motorcycle helmet industry by focusing on high-performance, lightweight shells made from advanced composite materials like fiberglass and carbon fiber. Unlike many competitors that rely solely on generic molds, Torc is known for offering a wide array of custom-fit options and extensive sizing charts to ensure optimal safety and comfort for riders with various head shapes.
