   Very pleased so far, April 1, 2014

   This review is from: Bell Solid Adult Qualifier Street Bike Racing Dirt bike Helmet – Not glossy Black – Generous

   I was wary about trying out an unrated new helmet, but I’ve been very pleased with this so far. Lots of dirt bike sites have reviewed the helmet and had positive things to say, so I went for it. I thought sizing was pretty accurate, but it may run a small tight. I was at the lower end of the Generous Helmet size array. I haven’t worn the qualifier long enough to have it really be broken in to my head.

   Helmet is light, fits well, very small or no buffeting at high speed (75+) so the aerodynamics seem to be dialed in well. I can’t tell if there is wind noise because my bike has straight pipes and is very loud by itself. There is a lot of space nearly the ears inside the helmet to allow for speakers, so I don’t feel that there is much sound deadening. This could be positive or negative depending on your perspective, for a guy with a loud bike like mine, I wish it was a bit quieter in there.

   If I had to nag, the shell seems to be a bit on the generous side, thought not comically generous. There is also a significant gap between my chin, and the helmet chin, meaning that there is a lot of airflow over my face, even with the vents closed. This is probably going to be fantastic in the hotter months, but this early in spring, it felt a bit cool. I hope Bell releases some sort of clip on chin cut/breath box for the qualifier to reduce this, otherwise you’ll want a balaclava or other wind protection on cool days.

   As for the person who complained about the lack of painted shield, they said themselves that all other helmets show painted, but come with clear. I’m unsure why they assumed this helmet would be different. I bought the dark smoke visor separately and it looks fantastic with the not glossy black. For the price, I reckon this is a fantastic helmet. The looks, mainly with the *optional* dark smoke shield, are fantastic, and the build quality and materials seem to be fantastic for an entry level helmet.

   This review is from: Bell Solid Adult Qualifier Street Bike Racing Dirt bike Helmet – Not glossy Black – Ordinary

   I ordered the helmet in not glossy black in ordinary. This helmet is so far exceeding my expectations. It looks nice and more importantly is very comfortable, and fits nice and snug. vents work perfectly, visor stays nice, clear and fog free during rides. Would recommend.

   Light weight, fantastic features, and excellent price. This helmet has everything you want in an everyday helmet and at this price it’s a go quietly. I’m thinking of buying a 2nd one as a spare. Very pleased.
