Review on Bell Custom 500 Helmet (Gloss Vintage White - X-Small) by Todd Look

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Breathe well and easily. Comfortable ear pockets with Velcro for audio.

Fantastic helmet, breathes well and is light. A little stiff at first, but breaks in well after about 10 hours and is SUPER comfortable. The forage quality is top notch as you would expect from Bell. The finish is flawless. Be sure to check the hem on the D-ring side, mine was a little frayed where the buckles rubbed against the helmet in transit, but that's not a deal breaker. Personally, I chose a glossy finish so the stickers stick faster. The ear pockets are large and lined with velcro-friendly fabric, allowing the velcro side to hold securely. I was able to install some headphone drivers without much trouble. I've worn them on sunny days in 90º+ temperatures and felt absolutely comfortable in them. Still good in cold weather. My only complaint is that the latch on the end of the chin strap doesn't make a positive sound or click sensation when pressed, so you can't tell you have a positive connection. It works well, you just don't feel connected.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Will be added later
