Great helmet. Air flow is really impressive. The only drawback is that this helmet is marketed with a dark visor which looks great, but the helmet comes with a clear visor. At first I thought the helmet was too small but once it broke in it is very comfortable.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought the helmet as a birthday present for my son. He loves the Flying Tigers grapics and the overall fit and feel of the helmet. It is also priced about right for what you get.

I found everything about this product to be good. However the test of lifting it up in the back did not pass for me. I believe it is too long for my head shape. Other than that it was very comfortable and has lots of vents and a great look!

I upgraded from a Scorpion Exo-400, and i can tell you this helmet is a huge jump in quality and value and amount of features over the scorpion. the styling and shape of the shell are very sporty and i really like the looks. i really like how bell used the same shell as their 400$ dollar helmet and used different materials. i think its a great idea which lets you get a nice sporty looking shell design for so cheap, and im sure it will hold up comparably to the RS-1. Also, the visor change mechanism is probably one of the most simple and quickest changes out there.

my only gripe with my Vortex is the magnetic clamp to hold the strap. it doesnt feel very secure and falls off easy if you adjust your strap while riding. they put a small elastic strap next to it which im assuming you put the excess under but it doesnt really cut it.

The Bell Vortex fits perfectly, and is light weight. Air Flow-Ventilation is awesome when all the vents are engaged. Best buy for just under $200, you won't find all the features on the Vortex in any other sub $200 helmet on the market. Got mine in white and added some extras to it that match my Suzuki GSX-R600 K7. Definetly worth checking out if you're looking for a great deal on a stylish helmet with all the goodies of a $500-$600 helmet.

Yes, I recommend this product.

In between sizes

Gender: male

on Bell Revolver Helmet - Solid

According to my measurements I'm right at or maybe a little under 23" which is between a medium and large. It seems most medium helmets fit my cheeks but are too tight on the crown and the larges are perfect on the crown but not so snug on the cheeks. Would you recommend going up or down a size with the Bell Revolver? Thanks!

Answer:

THe correct fit is most important on the crown. With that in mind buy the size that fits your crown and get the check pads that fit snug. You will probably have to purchase the larger size cheek pads. The pads come in usually 4 sizes like 25mm 30mm 35mm 40mm with the 30-35 as the usual size on an original helmet. Hope this helps you.

How do glasses fit with the Vortex?

I've been reading the reviews and almost everyone mentions the sides being a bit tight at first. I wear glasses and was wondering if that would be a problem with the first few wears.

Answer:

The fitting shape of the Bell Vortex is slightly narrow and some folks with a more round head shape might find it snug at the temples and less space to accommodate glasses. Helmet linings will break in after the first week of use, and as long as the fitting shape of this helmet is appropriate for your head shape, it shouldn't be too snug for glasses.

Answer:

I wore sunglasses for awhile (Oakley) when the Dark Visors were on back order. It was a little bothersome at first, but the more I rode the more I stopped noticing. My noggin and the helmet adjusted. My best advice would be to try one on locally somewhere if you can. Otherwise you may want to wear contacts or you could just ship the Helmet back. They have an excellent return policy as long as the item is not "ridden".

I have another brand of modular helmet which has a steel to steel mechanism but the steel part that attaches to the
shell is connected to a plastic piece that is attached to the shell with two small screws which will not hold up under
much of an impact.

Answer:

The latch mechanism on the Bell Revolver helmet is steel on steel. The latch itself is steel and set in a plastic housing. The striker is a steel dowel that is threaded on one end, runs through the shell and is held in place by a steel nut. See attached photos. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Typically, its not a good idea to compare sizes between brands. Unfortunately measurements can be quite different between manufacturers. The best way is of course to try them on, however, the next best thing is to start with the size chart. Beyond that, feel free to call us at 877-792-9455 and we can provide some guidance on head-shape. The Vortex will be slightly more round than your Icon Alliance.
