BELL Custom 500 Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet (Gloss Vintage White - Large)

The Bell helmet is well made. I have only one complaint. The size. My head is 7 3/8. The helmet is an extra large and it is very tight. The extra large was supposed to cover my head size. However it does not. I don’t think I will ever buy another helmet online. With this said I would still recommend bell helmets.

Llego en tiempo , muy buen casco

As always bell is high quality

My head measures 20.75 inches and I ordered a size Small. Initially, this helmet fit so tight I was almost afraid to put it on. I ordered another one in size Medium. While it was easier to put on, once on, it seemed too easy to wiggle on my head, so I returned it. I really like the helmet though, so I fought through it with the size Small helmet, and I’m glad I did. It is getting much easier to put on and remove. Once on, it feels like the correct size. I really like the vintage style too.

This particular Bell 500 helmet, Apex version, fit me true to size.My head measures 59 cm which calls for a size Large, and this helmet fits me perfectly.Some websites selling this helmet suggest ordering one size up as they said it runs small were incorrect for the Apex version. My head is an intermediate oval in its shape also, which this helmet is also supposed to beNice quality for the money, and the interior seems of very nice quality, nice stitching and colors. No venting, but being white with silver, gray stripes, and open face, it should be fine at least where I live, highs in low 90's mid summer, near Lake Erie, in PennsylvaniaI will buy a flip up face shield for it now that I know it fits well. Many varieties of shields for this Bell helmet. Maybe a pair of goggles also.I usually wear full face helmets, but recently acquired a small adventure motorcycle where this helmet will be perfect !!!Only slightly negative is the thick padding on either side of my jaw is pushing in just a little too much being brand new, and am sure it will relax a bit from wearing it. I look at that as a good thing, having a snug fit means safer in the event of an accident, and after all, why some of us choose to wear a helmet in the first place, right ?A "just in case" insurance policy.Shipping was amazingly fast, I was pleasantly surprised I got it so quickly, so hats off to the seller !!!

I measured my head, and measured it again and again and again. And used their chart to pick the size. It came in the mail and it was so tight it hurt to put on. They don’t make a bigger size either. I was a few cm off from the top end on the chart even. They are too cheap to make another mold for the bigger one so they just take out basically all the padding to try and get your head to fit. Awful

Its super small, like if you wear size S you might have to order size L. If you want to return you have to pay $19 for the shipping.

It was a beautifully made helmet. For whatever reason, it was a little small for me. I used a sizing chart I saw somewhere; but, I guess either it, or my head, was a little off. Thankfully, the company authorized the return of the helmet, which shows they are considerate of things that could go wrong. Anyone interested in purchasing from this company should have no worries about customer service with them.
