The vendor has a terrible shipping policy, but Amazon won't let reviewers discuss it. Hint: if you serve in the US military or foreign service, they won't let you buy this product.

I like the helmet for its snug fit. It seems to be aerodynamic. However, there is a problem with the shield getting foggy at stops or at slow speeds. I have to open the shield slightly to prevent the fogging. Opening the breather holes does not seem to mitigate the problem. Apparently the breather holes are too small, or the inside volume is too small. I do not know what the deal is but I do not have the fogging problem with my other two helmets. I am not sure I would recommend this helmet because of the fogging issue.

I've had helmets in the past where the entire front facial guard can be popped up. Makes it much easier to get into.This one does not. Also, it does not come with a tinted face shield. However, it is a solid helmet for the price and it is great for warmer climates.

The old saying about helmets is "if you have a $50 head, buy a $50 helmet." While that is generally true of the helmets sold in the discount stores, it is not true of Bell helmets. Bell has built their reputation on making and selling well-constructed, high feature helmets that are the equal of much higher priced brain buckets. This helmet has excellent padding, vents that actually get fresh air to the inside of the helmet and painted-on and clear-coated graphics that will hold up a lot longer than the decals used on the bargain basement variety. Additionally, Bell offers replacement parts like new clear or tinted shields and new linings and padding so that you can upgrade or extend the life of your purchase. Try finding a replacement for a scratched shield on the helmet you bought from WalMart.

I bought this helmet about 2 months ago, i live in Caracas, Venezuela so the weather is hot, hotter or cloudy but never under 23º C and this helmet is just perfect for this kind of weather, the front vent gives you a great flow of air even at low speed you can feel the air around your mouth and nose, the upper vents are not so obvious, you can feel the air at 50 mph depending of your riding position (maybe in a sport bike is better, I ride a standard bike and it`s not so obvious to me) besides that i would say it`s just perfect. The first day i thought it was too small but 2 weeks later the paths were not so tight and still now fits like a glove, i guess it's great for cold weather too, just close the vents and let the air coming from behind refresh your face. In rainy days you can ride with vents open, mine didn't leak a single drop in a heavy rain. I would advise to everybody interested in buying a helmet check the shape of their head, this one is good for long/oval heads. I would say this is probably the best buy if you have a low budget. As other reviewer said it's not so good if you have to wear glasses but that's not my case so i can say it's great.
