  • Bell helmet extra large
Size: X-Large Color: Matte Black
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. ... show more

  • It's not a fashion show!
Size: Large Color: Matte Black
Maybe folks that are worried how they "look" should be doing fashion shows or designing clothes. It seems a significant % of the Harley crowd are worried about appearance first, then riding. I'm a rider with over 100k miles and 4 cross country trips. For too many years I was not so smart and I wore a "dot" brain bucket. The brain bucket was comfortable, but the wind noise and buffeting were high; still, I put up with it. After an accident, I was commanded by the boss not to ride - our dog died 6 weeks ago, and the "no ride" decision was reversed to deal with his loss. Last weekend I took a 200 mile scoot and realized the bucket would not cut it anymore. I bought this Bell helmet and since have been on a 60 mile highway ride and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Much less hectic now with less wind noise and buffeting (no windshield) and a smoother ride for my noggin. I don't care what I look like with the helmet on. This is an ideal helmet for old school riders that are used to brain buckets and want to get into a simple upgrade. It is comfortable! The quality is plenty good - I am able to sneak my shades on with the helmet on - I feel a little smarter for wearing a proper helmet. At 60, I'll take the protection and let others worry about how they look. This is a relative review though....if someone is going from a simple brain bucket to this Bell Custom 500, you will get an excellent improvement in wind noise and buffeting not to mention much better protection in case there is an accident. ... show more

  • Great Fit!
Size: X-Large Color: Gloss Black
This is my second Bell Custom 500 Open Face helmet. I love the quality and style of their helmets. This is exactly what I was looking for. Feels comfortable, and feels safe! Tried buying a different brand and end up returning it since it did not have the same quality as Bell. I ride a Vespa, and wanted something stylish for my scooter and SAFE. Would buy another Bell in the future. ... show more

  • Very snug initially, but breaking in nicely
Size: Small Color: Stripes Pearl White
My head measures 20.75 inches and I ordered a size Small. Initially, this helmet fit so tight I was almost afraid to put it on. I ordered another one in size Medium. While it was easier to put on, once on, it seemed too easy to wiggle on my head, so I returned it. I really like the helmet though, so I fought through it with the size Small helmet, and I’m glad I did. It is getting much easier to put on and remove. Once on, it feels like the correct size. I really like the vintage style too. ... show more

  • Sizing
Size: Large Color: Matte Black
The item is fine, sizing is a bit off. I ordered a large according to the dimensions and sizing charts. It was too small, very tight fitting.

  • Not accurate measurements.
Size: XX-Large Color: Stripes Pearl White
I measured my head, and measured it again and again and again. And used their chart to pick the size. It came in the mail and it was so tight it hurt to put on. They don’t make a bigger size either. I was a few cm off from the top end on the chart even. They are too cheap to make another mold for the bigger one so they just take out basically all the padding to try and get your head to fit. Awful ... show more

  • Bell Quality
Size: Large Color: Apex Gloss Silver Flake
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 !!! ... show more
