Review on Bell Custom 500 Helmet (Gloss Vintage White - X-Small) by Tom Beland

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Next time I'll try a brand other than Bell

I've had a Bell Custom 500 helmet for about ten years and have only worn it twice. As I got older (and wiser), I tried wearing a hard hat again. The material of the ear cushions peels off and covers my shirt and beard enough to draw attention and make everyone I meet along the way laugh. I contacted Bell and they were of no help, and the Custom 500 earpads cannot be replaced. They also don't seem to care that so many others have noticed the poor quality of my Bell helmet. This seems like an easy fix, but it's not. I have now ordered a white Arai 3/4 helmet as a replacement and am hoping for better luck.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • When in doubt
