Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Youth BMX Bike and Skate Helmet, Matte Black - Bell Drop (7106369) by Brian Garrett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

fits 7 1/4 head

Well made basic full face. The chin is not an add-on like some helmets. I prefer a one-piece body for safety reasons. Interior space is sparse compared to some. I prefer this style. Firm foam with a thin soft foam padding with Velcro. Cheeks are just soft foam that doesn't do much. The front inner chin has Ethafoam protection. I don't want motorcycle-like padding in a bike helmet. It's too hot, stinks if you don't keep washing the seat, and offers no real extra protection, just comfort (as long as the sweat doesn't get in your eyes). The neck should be foam rather than soft foam. This is the main disadvantage of this helmet for me. The chin strap is a single strap, no Y-shape around the ear. I don't have a problem with that on a full face helmet, but I prefer the Y style on regular open face helmets as they are more prone to movement and shifting when dropped. Does not come with a matching extra foam kit like helmets used to have. For my purposes, this helmet is fine. If the cheek pads and especially the bolster have been made functional; I would give 5 stars.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Negative impression
