Review on πŸš— Bell Automotive Wayfarer Green 3-Snap Bubble DLX Shield: Essential Accessories for Automotive Safety by Gage Lawson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Broken center latch - bladder guard detached from helmet while driving on the freeway

I had been riding this Bell 3 shield for about 4-5 months (live in Wisconsin - limited riding season). One day I was riding, looking over my shoulder while changing lanes, when suddenly a protective shield came off my helmet, almost causing me to lose control of the bike. A very scary experience. I was able to repair the bubble shield and upon further investigation the center latch had come loose from its slot on the bubble shield and was only attached to my helmet and not the shield. The chrome/plastic surrounding the perimeter of the shield has come loose and the center latch has somehow come loose. This will cause the shield to stop functioning and weaken at 50-60 mph. I really liked the look and style of this product and got a lot of compliments but unfortunately the quality didn't last.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
