Review: Bell Quality - This particular Bell 500 helmet, Apex version, fit me true to size. My head measures 59 cm which calls for a size Large, and this helmet fits me perfectly. Some websites selling this helmet suggest ordering one size up as they said it runs small were incorrect for the Apex version. My head is an intermediate oval in its shape also, which this helmet is also supposed to be Nice quality for the money, and the interior seems of very nice quality, nice stitching and colors. No venting, but being white with silver, gray stripes, and open face, it should be fine at least where I live, highs in low 90's mid summer, near Lake Erie, in Pennsylvania I will buy a flip up face shield for it now that I know it fits well. Many varieties of shields for this Bell helmet. Maybe a pair of goggles also. I usually wear full face helmets, but recently acquired a small adventure motorcycle where this helmet will be perfect !!! Only slightly negative is the thick padding on either side of my jaw is pushing in just a little too much being brand new, and am sure it will relax a bit from wearing it. I look at that as a good thing, having a snug fit means safer in the event of an accident, and after all, why some of us choose to wear a helmet in the first place, right ? A "just in case" insurance policy. Shipping was amazingly fast, I was pleasantly surprised I got it so quickly, so hats off to the seller !!!
Review: Bell helmet extra large - The Bell helmet is well made. I have only one complaint. The size. My head is 7 3/8. The helmet is an extra large and it is very tight. The extra large was supposed to cover my head size. However it does not. I don’t think I will ever buy another helmet online. With this said I would still recommend bell helmets.
