Bell helmet a good fit

On: 2008-06-27

For the price, this is a great helmet. It is easy
to fit, sits well on the head, but as yet its
safety is untested (thank goodness!).

Where to find the colors

On: 2008-06-15

You can find these helmets in just about any decent sporting goods store or bike shop. What you cant find is the availability of color via this Amazon retailer. The price plus shipping was still a deal and we got the color she wanted. Need I say more? On the helmet, it is one of the best one-size-fits-all helmets out there. The helmet fits a tremendously wide range of hat sizes. The vents allow excellent cooling and it is comfortable. Great buy, and thanks for stocking the helmet in red!!

Satisfied with product/dissapointed in the trick free shipping offer that did not happen...paid shipping so in turn paid too much for product!!!

Nice fit, good price

I was skeptical of the one-size fits all, as these rarely fit me, but I am happy to say the helmet fits fine on my 7 7/8 hat size head. It is just a tiny bit snug, but does the job. The price was right at twenty bucks for my blue and white helmet.

The build quality is excellent (better than my Giro Mojave that was falling apart). I hope to never have to use it, but it should hold up well. It is comfortable for my 11 mile bike ride.

Comfy fit

This is a nice looking and very comfortable helmet. I dont like these things tight and this seems to be shaped with a real head in mind, not a mannequin. It is certainly made for an adult not a child like many I have tried. It is easy to clip on and remove and does not make me sweat - my hair isnt so bad either after wearing. Since helmets are mandatory in most if not all states, I think this is a well-designed, comfortable necessity worth purchasing.

Good deal, fast ship, no visor

On: 2008-03-11

I knew that it didnt have one when I ordered it but I feel like they could have thrown in an optional add on visor. Overall, I am very happy with this helmet, good deal, fast ship, rather stylish. But I must warn that I have a big head and found that there are two tight spots about my temples where I had to compress the foam a little to get a comfortable fit. If my head was any bigger this helmet would not fit but as it is I think its very safe and snug.

Basic Bike Helmet

On: 2008-03-03

Basic Bike Helmet that is light, easy to put on and doesnt really bother you while riding. Fits pretty snug. I havent had to adjust it yet as it was done for me by a veteran Bike rider but it looks simple. Might suffer from wear/use on the inside but thats expected. Dont know when Ill have to replace it but it seems good enough.

nice helmet but not for huge heads

On: 2007-10-23

I have a large head. I was a little skeptical about the universal fit, but it does adjust so that it can fit most heads. For my head, I would prefer that the helmet was just a bit larger (the helmet is the constraint, not the adjustable inside). But, while at times it seems bit tight, Ive decided to keep it as the alternatives seem to cost twice as much.

Great Helmet!

Purchased the Bell Solar Bike Helmet and it fit comfortably. Easy to adjust once I figured out how the straps worked. Recommend this product and company to anyone interested in buying a good reasonably priced helmet.

I'm impressed!

I didnt have great confidence in the "universal fit" system - until I tried it. I have owned higher end helmets from Bell and Giro, and this fits as well as any Ive owned. I cant see spending $100 for a helmet when this Bell does as well for a third of that.

This was a great helmit. It is nice & cool and I hardly know its on sometimes. Very easy to adjust too.

It fits!

After many helmets that wobbled back and forth on my head, this helmet has a racketing device in the headliner to tighten up the fit. It stays where I put it and protects my head.

Solid, lightweight, unique

Recommend. Its a helmet, and functions fine as such. The extra pizazz of the aesthetics and easy adjustment put it over the top. I really like it, and get compliments... which says a lot.
