## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it. Looks good.
*by J***O on September 11, 2019*

Too thigh, running small. I returned and will buy a large.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like a sofa for your head.
*by B***N on September 25, 2016*

My first 3/4 helmet. I usually rock the full face but now that I'm on a Harley I wanted something that felt a little more free. This helmet feels a lot cooler than a full. As expected it is noisier but nothing crazy. Also I like how it's a different shell for all the sizes so it doesn't look like a mushroom head. I definitely recommend this. A great bang for your buck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Little Too Small
*by R***R on October 23, 2020*

Had to order a Large size for my husband, as the Medium size was slightly too small. We ordered the Medium, because the measurement of his head fell within the range for that size, according to the size guide. Will be keeping the Medium size helmet for me. Otherwise, the helmet arrived one day earlier, than originally estimated. BELL is a great and reputable brand, and we know we will be properly protected during our rides.
