Good Fit

On: 2008-06-27

Returning to bike riding after ten years a new bike helmet was in order. After reading reviews in various places the Bell Slant was my choice. Ease of adjustment for a good fit and reasonable appearance were important considerations. The helmet has met both needs. Therefore I have been wearing it on my weekend rides. It is comfortable, secure and does not require constant adjustment as did helmets of years ago. For the price it even looks fine.

Bigger then expected

Before my purchase, I tried on several styles in stores. I know I am a size Medium. The helmet is nice, but was bigger then I expected. You can adjust the tightness, but the helmet itself was larger then I would had like. Still it is a good helmet.

Fits snug and secure and has good ventilation. I chose it because it was top rated in Consumer Reports. Very light weight.

Orange fun

It took me awhile to find an orange helmet and I was leery of just trying one from the net. I went to a bike shop and tied it on and knew this was the one. I will say it did take awhile to get the straps just right, once you learn how (I advice looking at the little booklet)it all becomes clear and youll have a great fitting helmet. I never got the straps right on my last helmet and now really know what a good helmet fitting correctly will do for you. No more fighting with straps or having it shift. I really like this helmet and cant figure any way for it to be much better for a mid range helmet.

Just right

I am very happy with this helmet. It took less than 5 minutes of initial adjustments to the straps. I REALLY like the adjustment dial. Put it on your head and simply turn the dial until it tightens and fits adequetly.

I do not even notice wearing it while cycling.

Between the two major head shapes (oval and round), my head is slightly more toward oval. I found that Bell helmets fit oval shapes better than the Giro which is better for round heads.

Also checkout the Consumer Reports Magazine review for bike helmets. The Bell Slant made it on their recommendation list.

Love the helmet and would recommend it.

You cant go wrong with this helmet. It is a very comfortable helmet, and the price is right. This Bell product is much better than my Trek helmet.

It's OK

I bought the Slant helmet because it was a high-rated choice for protection by Consumer Reports. From my limited experience, all bike helmets are the same, in both fit and protection. This feels the same as the $135 and the $30 helmets at the bike shop. Buy the one that looks pretty.

Snug Fitting Helmet with Good Ventilation

The helmet fits snugly but not tightly and has an easily adjustable fit. Cheaper helmets are not easily adjustable nor are they as comfortable as this one. Bell makes good products. It is just too bad their web sites are not as good as their products!

good helmet

This is a nice helmet for the price. It fits good and is somewhat light weight. Its not the nicest helmet out there, but for the price, it cant be beat.

Seems good but took a ton of adjusting.

When I mean a ton, I mean like two hours worth - maybe my head has a funny shape...Id go to a local bike shop and try some on for cheaper prices. I expected a much easier fit for this kind of money.

Good looking and practical

It took a while to find a helmet that wouldnt make my head look like a mushroom... Many are just too bulky and too heavy! Originally I tried Bell Slant in a store (REI), really liked it and then bought it online for much cheaper. Great ventilation, easy to adjust, looks really nice... Thank you, Amazon!
