Bell Adrenaline Bike Helmet

I've owned Bell helmets for many years. Then they switched to "one size fits all", and I hate them now. Hey Bell, just call it "one size fits many, but nowhere near all". I plan to take pics, it'll be embarrassing, for Bell. I bought the Bell Draft and Bell Adrenaline, both are jokes when it comes to fitting large heads. UPDATE: Yes, I have a big head, it measures 23 5/8 (60 cm) Bell's website says the Draft "Universal Adult" fits 54-61 cm or 21.2-24 in, which is an obvious lie. See the pics I've added, their sizing is a joke! I've worn Bell helmets for many years, they used to offer Small/Medium and a Large version. Now they say Universal Adult. Hahahaa, not! I also bought the Bell Adrenaline and Bell Draft (pics here show only the Draft model), and the sizing on both is the same joke. Bell, your sizing is a rancid insult.

This is a great helmet at a great price. Hence the 5 star review. I've been using it for 2 years. It has been the only helmet I have used cycling and it has served me very well.I only have one small issue that may help others thinking to buy. There is a fabric pad that attaches to the front inside of the helmet with velcro. It is comfortable and removable/washable. It worked fine for shorter rides & on cool days, but when you sweat a lot it absorbs and holds that warm sweat against your forehead. I dealt with it by pressing the helmet against my head squeezing out the sweat every 10 minutes or so. This is not exactly ideal when you want to keep your eyes on the road to avoid "using" your helmet. If you are wearing glasses or sunglasses this is even more of an inconvenience. It would be much better if they made that pad out of a non-absorbent material.Otherwise, a great product.I will be on the lookout for something better with the understanding that I may have to spend a bit more money.Hope this helps.

I did some research and found a study, done by Virginia Tech , rating the safety of bike helmets. This one got 4 out of 5 stars, and it is one of the least expensive helmets with this rating. Does it have all the bells and whistles? Not really. I would have liked an easier chin strap buckle. I would have liked the knob adjustment feature found on other helmets. But, for the money, it is a bargain, and I know that it will protect my head, whereas with no-name helmets that cost the same, you have no idea if it will do the job. I will note that I purchased mine from the Amazon Warehouse for half the cost, making it a great bargain. I would recommend this unless you have big bucks to spend.

My entire family tends to have bigger heads, so when I ordered this I was very nervous that it wouldn't fit. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it fit just fine. Nice reflective pieces at the back of the helmet, and it is very comfortable.

I bought this helmet and I am very pleased with it, sizing is important and this fits me well. I wear an extra large in a fitted golf cap if that helps figure out sizing. If you have a really large head this helmet will not work for you.I thought I bought this item in white as it was pictured, the one that arrived was black. Not a big deal for me. It fits well, is very light, and well vented which is important in Florida where I do my riding. It is so light sometimes I forget I am wearing it. The visor is helpful, my old Schwinn helmet did not have a visor and this is a noticeable improvement. The price I paid ($15.00 & $5.00 shipping fee) was well below what I could have purchased a helmet of this quality in a retail bike shop. The most important thing in buying a bike helmet is getting the right fit, if it does not fit riders are reluctant to wear the helmet, and we all know what can happen when bike riders are not wearing there helmet.

I have another Bell Adrenaline helmet, but it is a different color. I wanted this one just to have 2 different color helmets, to match the bikes I ride. This is a different helmet, in that it does NOT have adjustment capability like my first one has. Same model and brand - no adjustments. So, this one slides forward from time to time and I cannot adjust it to fit right. Good helmet otherwise. Make sure you ask the seller if it is adjustable before purchase.

I think that overall the product is good. There is decent airflow. The sweatband in front is okay, but as it gets wet, it acts like a seal and sweat pools above it. When you remove the helmet, that puddle of sweat runs down your face; that was ode but no big deal. I think overall, I made a good purchase.

This is an awesome helmet. Fit is perfect for different size heads, and value is extraordinary. So comfortable I forget that I am wearing it. A nitpick issue is that the chin strap is barely long enough to fit under my chin - an extra 1/2 inch would be nice.

Pretty nice helmet. Makes me look really handsome.They haven’t figured out how to make these things look cool yet huh? You know what is cool though? Safety.And this helmet nails it on safety. Comfortable too - I’d wear this to bed but my wife keeps telling me not to.

I just got mine today, tried it on, and it fit perfectly. The elastic fabric allows for a firm and secure fit which feels nice.The reflectors on the back come in handy if you forgot your bike lights and need to bike home (use sidewalk if you don't feel safe biking on road).The product looks nice and isn't as bulky as some reviews made it sound. I'll share some photos. My head, I always believed, is rather small. My partner, who has a big head, tried it and he said it felt good but could tell he'd get marks on his forehead within half an hour or so.Lastly, I like to feel a helmet when I'm biking because I always feel I'm missing something when I'm not wearing it. Biking without a helmet is like going on the balcony without undergarments. This is my second Bell and I love it!

The helmet looks alright and is light which helps, however the straps to adjust are very basic and it is difficult to get that perfect fit that you can achieve with one of those helmets with an adjustable dial for head circumference. I'd recommend spending the extra $5-$10 dollars and buying a bike helmet with that rather than the adjustable straps in this helmet. Otherwise good, basic product, does what advertised.

This was a gift for my mom and it has worked exceptionally well! She had a bad bike accident and the helmet did its job! The doctor said without it, she would have had a fractured skull - she walked away with a concussion.

My head is right in the middle of the supposed fit range, but I could barely get it on, and it was immediately uncomfortable. Instead of a proper fit adjustment it just as a large piece of elastic at the back, which mercilessly squeezes the hard plastic pieces it attaches to against the back of your head. The chin strap is also too short, even at maximum length. I don't have a gigantic melon, just a normal head, so I don't know who this is designed to fit.
