Review on πŸ”” BELL Qualifier DLX Full-Face Helmet: Matte Titanium/Black Rally Small - High-Performance Safety Gear by Cre Soto

Revainrating 2 out of 5

AMAZING but SUPER tight around the eyes - GOOD LUCK the goggles fit there

GREAT helmet! I really appreciate the rugged yet lightweight look of this helmet. Also, the name alone makes me feel comfortable and confident knowing that Bell makes some of the best mid-range helmets in the world. Not to mention that it matches the colors of my bike PERFECTLY! Lucky Strike? Maybe, but it's definitely better than my old shiny black thing. Either way, the good and the bad: GOOD: The helmet looks fantastic. Once it's in, I have no problem tightening the strap and finding the little latch at the end. Taking it off is just as easy once you know where all the little bits are. The quick-slide tab allows you to take and release the pressure very quickly - love that feature. An auto shade lens is PERFECT. It darkens quickly and takes on a hue that eliminates glare really well. Just right in my particular situation of needing to wear glasses. The helmet is lightweight but strong enough to feel like it's there, doing what it's supposed to do. The vents work great, they don't rattle in the wind and allow airflow that keeps my head cool and the lenses don't fog up. The helmet is very complex. There is ZERO space between your temples and the foam pad for your lens frame so you have to force it in and when they are on your glasses they sit crooked on your face. Not ideal, to say the least. I just make a habit of wearing contact lenses every time I drive and let the auto-darkening lenses do the work to eliminate glare. Sunglasses are not required. ALSO the small quick-release tab on the strap? While this is a great addition and very useful, it is made of the thinnest material and is already looking worn. Fall off in a season or two at most. It seems to say that they didn't use silk or other durable fabrics or maybe even a piece of leather? Once it's gone I'll have to replace it somehow as I really like how it takes stress off the belt quickly.

Pros
