About Bell
More world champions have worn Bell Helmets than all other helmet brands combined.

Growing under the leadership of Roy Richter, Bell became a leader in safety equipment for auto racing, motorcycling, and then bicycling. His commitment to creating great product through a close connection with the sport, along with his trust of and care for the people who worked for him, turned Bell from a one-man operation into a multi-million dollar enterprise. His legacy lives on today in Bell’s commitment to racing, quality and innovation.

I’ve used a lot of bicycle helmets over the last 30 years. The Bell Faction is the best commuting helmet. It’s one of the only helmets that you can put a rear-view mirror onto. The helmet seems safer than because the vents are smaller, the shell is thicker, and the helmet comes down further in the back and on the sides. I’ve never felt hot wearing this helmet. I wouldn’t want to wear it on a five-mile climb on a 90-degree day, but for riding around town it’s fine. In the winter I tape over the vents and stuff the vents with foam. Below 20 degrees I wish it had a fleece liner, but next winter I’ll figure out how to make one.

very nice helmet,a little heavy.the only complaint i have is while there was plenty of extra padding for adjusting around the perimeter of the helmet there was none for the very top.your head will come in contact with a very hard surface at the top center.

I just got this helmet delivered to me about 20 minutes ago.
The design is great, and it fits my head perfectly. They provide extra pads (thin and thick, medium is the defult) so you can adjust. If you don’t like the BELL logo on the helmet, you can easily take it off as it is just a sticker. Mine left no sticky residue or anything, and it looks great. They provide you with an extra sticker, too.
This properly protects my forehead, as well as the back of my head.
If you are not sure what size to get, go to their website and they tell you how to properly measure your head size, and provide a size chart. That’s what I did, and got a good fit.

This is THE best bicycle helmet I have ever had. I ordered it for in Baghdad Iraq, because the ones AAFES sells are junk. I can’t believe how comfortable it is. It is VERY cushy in the top. It makes me feel much safer with the side protection. Other guys keep asking me where I got it, so I know it looks good too!

This helmet replaces my old Bell helmet, which was about 5 years old. I thought I liked my old helmet, but then I got this one. It is way more comfortable than the old one, not as hot, fits my head better, and it’s even a bright, adorable, shiny pink! What more could you want?
