🚴 BELL Formula MIPS Helmet: Ultimate Protection for Road Bike Enthusiasts Review

I had an old Bell helmet that I wanted to replace. I chose this one because it was the cheapest MIPS helmet I could get and because I knew Bell. Pros: price and MIPS protection. Cons: Very heavy, no visor (didn't realize how much I liked the visor on my old Bell). and the pads get sweaty so when I take the helmet off and put it back on you can feel the wet sweat pads :( My old bell helmet had pads that barely soak up sweat. It also means I can't leave the helmet outside when it's raining, while

This item is very light. Sometimes I have to touch his head to make sure he's even turned on. Of course, I'm assuming a helmet was a pound heavier. The only problem is that it doesn't absorb sweat at all. It just squirts in your face. I have no hair so my eyebrows are the only obstacle. Paired with a headband, this helmet is simply stunning. Also, for a $25 MIPS helmet, the color was yellow when I bought it, which is virtually unheard of. I don't care if it's a few years into his lifespan. The…

Very nice helmet. It fits well and has an adjustment knob on the back which really makes it feel like the helmet is secure. I ordered the Virago Matte/Gloss White/Blue/Raspberry model because it matches the color of my bike. What they don't show in this post in any way is that the chin straps for this helmet are light pink (there are also small tiny pink dots on the blue part of the helmet visible in the amazon photos, I thought I could with that live these)! To be honest the general appearance

Have been using Giro helmets for 7+ years, top to mid. Recent Bell innovations have made me want to try a brand change. I was not disappointed. This helmet's retention system is similar to the Giro Roc Loc Air found on the high-end models, but cheaper. It hovers (as the system is called) just above your head and disappears as you drive. The ventilation is good for this helmet class. My sunglasses don't interfere with the retention system and fit snugly in the front vents when not in use. The…

Switched to this helmet from the Giro Monza and was concerned that a slight reduction in vents would mean less ventilation but actually found it a bit cooler. Having ridden it for 350 miles in 80-90°C I can safely say it is also much more comfortable. The padding wicks sweat better and the fit system doesn't press on the temple like the Monza does. The Monza was a more expensive helmet but the weight is exactly the same and it meets the advertised specs. The overall size is more compact on the…

4 stars overall. Here's my breakdown: 5 STAR FEATURES (Love): - bright red for visibility (black background) and to match my bike's colors - light weight - inner shell locking system easily adjustable with ratchet system (rotary handle on backrest) - good , crisp clicks but easy to rotate. - the straps are light and airy, lie flat and do not touch the ears - the straps are barely noticeable. The best I've ever had. Landing is comfortable. I was on the borderline between medium and large so I…
