BELL SRT Modular Full-Face Helmet Gloss Black Medium

Most Important Things:1. I have a large head. I'm on the XXX/XXXX curve and generally no larger.2. Big Jaw required some smaller Bell cheek pads to fit properly3. After thats done, this may be THE most comfortable lid I have EVER OWNED.4. Nice deep ear pockets for rider intercom tools5. Despite being midtier cost, its very high value for the money.6. It came with a clear and a dark shield!7. With small adjustments, I am VERY VERY VERY happy wiht this lid.Critisims:1. the slot down shades are a little wonky to operate, but work.2. the silver highlights are not retro-reflective.Here is the long version:So I have a big, round head and a large jaw, so that makes fitting helmets a little weird for me. Always has. Add to that I sometimes wear glasses! So, modulars are my go too over the last several years.I ordered the 3X unit, and from another vendor, the 20mm cheekpads along with the 2X halo.FIRST OFF, THIS COMES WITH A TINTED SHIELD AND A CLEAR SHIELD. I missed that each time I read the description (dont know how) but it does.The stock 3X cheeckpads are too tight for me, but might be perfect for some. I tried the stock ones for a week, and it just wasnt comfortable, they were too tight and werent wearing in enough. I added the new 20mm units in and they started out tighter than the stock, but after another weak broke in just right. Turns out, I didnt have to adjust the halo, that was dead on.As for wear and feel, it seems like its a little noisy, but not bad. My bike has an adjustable windshield and when I pust it up 100% things get nice and quiet. Yesterday was a good warm day, so I got out and rode for a bit.... and I forgot to open the air vents. WHen I did it was like ICEWATER pouring around my head, it was GREAT. This suprised me as I never noticed cold air being an issue in the earlier months.I also chose to pair this helmet with a photochromatic face shield. That was maybe the iceing on the cake... I had been using the slot down shades and they are kinda wonky... I dont like the "feel" of their operation, its not very positive in opening and closing. I had a Full Face Harley modular recently that was a solid mechanical connection, which operated GREAT. This one I think is cable operated and you can feel the slacki/slop during actuation.I find the silver on black pattern very understated and attractive. (black gets hot though kids, remember that) My only wish is the silver highlights were ALSO retro-reflective. I would have paid ANOTHER hundred bucks NQA if that was an OEM feature. It would make a good helmet stylish AND nighttime visible. WIN FOR EVERYONE!!!Unrelated Story:Shout out to Bell Helmets. During research I tried calling the number listed on their facebook page... which was wrong. It was just some dude! Poor guy had been getting their calls for TWO YEARS. After a couple weeks of pestering via email and FB IM, they were able to get their marketing team to correct that issue for the guy and get the right number up. SCORE ONE for the powersports community, taking care of people is EXACTLY what a Helmet Manufacturer should be in the business of doing, and they did. Will buy Bell products again!

Great Helmet! Size is the tiniest bit bigger than I'd like. But im talking about the difference between snug as its supposed to be and mire snugglier. Good fit according to chart, I preferred lil tighter is all. My misjudged. Added photos of helmet with face plate opened for all you that wished it was there on Amazon! Chin wind deflect is nice. It's attached an inside plastic piece, so no falling off randomly. Comfortable AF. Air circulation is great too! Especially on cold Colorado mornings. Plenty of room for electronics. For a modular helmet the wind noise is minimal. I can also hear my external speakers clearly without cranking up the volume. Seems well made so far, only one ride so far but, being a motorcycle instructor this helmet will go through the ringer here shortly. Oh and the clear shield quick disconnect reconnect is amazing too. Only comes with clear so don't make the same mistakes I made. Thankfully it has the internal shaded visor!

Firstly, the sizing runs a little on the smaller side. I ordered the Large helmet and when it arrived, it fit like a medium. Too snug for me to enjoy the ride. After reaching out to Bell’s customer service department, excellent folks by the way, they helped me to select the correct cheek pads to properly size my helmet.Next, I was surprised to see how loud the wind noise level was after taking several rides. In most of the reviews, they comment on how low the noise levels are and that the helmet is very quiet. That is not my experience. I have had to close the top vent altogether. With it open, it sounds like I’m in a wind tunnel. The helmet materials are very nice!I love the thickness and clarity of the clear visor. I ordered the dark smoked visor and it is made similarly to the clear. Another disappointing fact though is the pain it takes to switch out the visors. Not the easiest to do. I have other modular helmets from other manufacturers and theirs are a lot easier to replace. Even with the minor setbacks that I’ve had, I still rate this modular helmet very high. Love the fit and finish and quality of materials. Maybe a future design would address the visor mechanism and the wind noise from the top head vent.

like the graphics and the finish; very comfortable, convenience of open face with the modular flip front. but is a bit heavy.
