Review on Enhance Your Safety with the Bell Impulse Bike Helmet: A Must-Have Gear for Cyclists! by Joe Gosa

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ugly but functional

(+)FunctionalAdjustable(-)Fat Uglybrittle beak connections Poor ventilation My head is big and seems bigger when wearing this helmet. Here, Bell Impulse's blessing is also its curse. Of course, I'm not worried if my head hits a curb, but I feel like I lose so much of the sophisticated aerodynamics of my Trek 850 by wearing this helmet! When riding upwind or down a steep hill I have to literally push the visor down (seems to be some sort of design flaw - my visor's connection to the helmet broke the first day I had it on). Although this helmet contains a lot of holes, it doesn't offer very good ventilation (expect to sweat while riding). Overall, it's not a sexy helmet - it's not cool in a physical or metaphorical sense - but it's a functional bargain. under $30 (hard to find a much cheaper adult helmet). It is not very heavy and protects the head.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
