Review on BELL Adult BMX Bike Helmet - Local Edition by Sean Maile

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It has a thick candy shell.

The helmet is very well made and the adjustable head strap should be reason enough to buy it separately. Like most of the best skate helmets, it has a thick plastic shell as opposed to the thin plastic of a bike helmet. for the Nitro Circus brand and the other part of that cost is for improved gaskets and rivets. In addition, you must remember that ventilation decreases as the certification level increases. There are helmets with more ventilation, but they're priced at plus $150. I really didn't notice a huge difference between this helmet and my old Giro helmet in terms of heat dissipation. The only thing I noticed between this and my old Giro helmet is that this helmet doesn't slip or move, it stays in place and that's 80% safe the day of a fall.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
