Bell Qualifier Helmet, Matte Black, XX-Large

Very nice helmet. Fits well, though I up-sized slightly "off chart" after trying one on locally. Interior padding is very comfortable. The photochromatic shield is amazing. It really does work wonderfully reacting to lighting conditions, and never fogs (to clarify, I got the Qualifier DLX Mip, though the listing currently shows Gloss Black as the standard Qualifier). I questioned the worth of the breath deflector, but after removing it to try riding without it I've been convinced. It really does work. All in all, a very nice helmet at a very reasonable price. Worth the price difference for the DLX vs standard Qualifier just for the light sensitive shield, but it also includes Mips safety, breath deflector, and chin dam.

Works fine for a nine mile motor scooter commute a few times a week. XL fits my decently large head well enough without significant discomfort. Not a Shoei, but nice to have around my head. Hopefully i never have to test it. Ventilation is ok and the hi-viz yellow is what i wanted.

Hreat helmet, no fog, good vents, great price

For the price, it’s a decent helmet to start out with. The visor isn’t tinted like it shows in the picture… and like I expected. It’s clear.

I remember the old "if you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet" Bell ads from back in the 70s when I began riding on the road. That's always stuck with me. Helmets have evolved and improved over the years, including inclusion of new tech based on actual crash injury data, and how to best prevent those occurrences. MIPS is one of those improvements, and I'm glad to have it. My head is many years older now, but I still agree with the axiom of spending money on what matters. A good helmet is one of those things. The helmet has a snug but comfortable fit. It comes with a pin mount shield, which is nice. The inner "sunscreen" drop-down visor also comes in handy, giving you some sun shielding without the discomfort of wearing sunglasses. Interior panels are removable for cleaning, and the helmet is molded inside for the addition of wireless comms. Even the 45mm JBL/Cardo speakers fit just fine. Appearance and fit is top-notch, and it is relatively light and comfortable for long rides. Airflow is also sufficient, and with a variety of vent and visor position possibilities, is comfortable even in upper 90 Texas temps.

I thought it was too tight at first. After wearing it a little, it broke in just right. About as comfortable as a full helmet can be, I guess. They're all hot, heavy, and constrictive. But it's better than having your face ripped off. A helmet probably won't save your life. But it will allow you to have an open casket funeral. Nice quality. The face opening wraps around far enough that I can see behind me reasonably well when I turn my head. I couldn't get my glasses on with this helmet. I cut the ear pieces off of one pair and just slip them on. The padding in the helmet is tight enough against my cheeks to hold the glasses in place. I only need them at night. I may cut a pair of cheap sunglasses the same way for daytime riding. It will be cheaper than purchasing a tinted shield at $139.00.

Nice helmet. Excellent buy if it fits you. It didn’t fit me. The XL was too loose, and the L was too tight.

Good quality Bell helmet. It is not quiet--earplugs advised

This is a very good quality helmet. It feels firm and strong, but it scratches more easily than I expected.

I thought the liners were too tight, but I washed them a couple of times after long rides and the helmet fits like a glove. Stick to the sizing chart and give it some break-in time.

Everything was perfect except visor was not tinted as advertised.

wish it came with a tinted visor

Fits well. Have not received the above.
