Review on ๐Ÿšฒ BELL Z20 MIPS Road Bike Helmet for Adults by Chris Bowden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great reflective helmet

I bought this helmet after banging my head on the side of my old helmet on the road. This one had MIPS and I didn't have a concussion, headache, starlets or anything, although my arm and legs were scraped, bruised and bleeding and my neck and shoulder hurt for a week. I stay with MIPS! This helmet is light and airy. I feel a breeze on my head when driving very fast. I have long hair and wear it in a ponytail when riding. I didn't have the issues that other reviewers reported. My hair has never been sticky or pulled out. The helmet doesn't move. The chin strap has a free end holder. I forget I have it. I have some smudges on my forehead, but didn't take the time to check out the other settings as they fit perfectly out of the box by just quickly turning the dial and adjusting the strap a bit. The straps were easier to adjust than some other helmets I've tried. The only downside is that it doesn't have a visor. I miss it, both for the sunshade and for the mount for my "Look" mirror that I had to attach to my sunglasses instead. If I stay too long and put on clear glasses, I won't have a mirror. However, this is a choice. I knew there was no visor when I ordered the helmet. Just wanted to point that out. I wish they added a detachable visor. Oh yes, the reflective paint (Ghost model only) works great! I am posting a photo of myself setting it up in my driveway at night and shining a flashlight on it. Update: Over a year later I still love this helmet!
