Im sure the helmet is great but it takes 1-2 months to ship! You must be kidding me. I cancelled my order.

very nice helmet,a little heavy.the only complaint i have is while there was plenty of extra padding for adjusting around the perimeter of the helmet there was none for the very top.your head will come in contact with a very hard surface at the top center.

This is a real Bell-ringer!

This helmet yields great protection for the only part of me that works really well. I certainly use it whenever I ride my bike. The neihbors giggle when I wear it to clean my bike but, hey, who cares; it keeps me safe. In the winter the holes (there by design) let in enough air to keep me cool... cooler than I want to be. It will work out just great during the hot summers here in Sacramento... rather like crainial AC. Great product and packaging, speedy delivery, and a fair price. Just thinking about it makes me want to buy another!

Helmet is cool, shipper wasn't.

I think Ive already done this, but Amazon wont stop molesting my e-mail, so Ill do it again.

The helmet itself is a helmet, though it looks more red than burnt orange...not that it matters because I put decals on it as soon as I had had it for a few days...now it looks pretty damned cool.

My problem was how long it took to get to me. I paid for the extra shipping as I needed the helmet for my job, but it still took 3 weeks to get to me...despite repeated calls to the wharehouse in Florida that went unresponded to. It was after the last of these "Wheres my helmet, folks?" that I finally got the notice that it had shipped. In the end, Im not sure Ill be ordering anything from the shipper of any bike related items, its just not worth all that waiting around.

Best bike commuting helmet, at a great price

Ive used a lot of bicycle helmets over the last 30 years. The Bell Faction is the best commuting helmet. Its one of the only helmets that you can put a rear-view mirror onto. The helmet seems safer than because the vents are smaller, the shell is thicker, and the helmet comes down further in the back and on the sides. Ive never felt hot wearing this helmet. I wouldnt want to wear it on a five-mile climb on a 90-degree day, but for riding around town its fine. In the winter I tape over the vents and stuff the vents with foam. Below 20 degrees I wish it had a fleece liner, but next winter Ill figure out how to make one.
