Comments about Bell Sweep R Bike Helmet:

Simply put, this is the best helemt I've ever owned. It fits geat, it's so light you forget your wearing it, and it looks awesome. It's a little on the fragile side, but just take good care of it and you won't have any problems.

Buy it!

Comments about Bell Sweep R Bike Helmet:

I use this for training and racing on road bikes. It is much more breathable and comfortable than my Giro Eclipse helmets. Previous helmets have been too long for my small head, but this one works great and the adjustment dial is really easy to use. Biggest complaint is that for girls it is very difficult to get a ponytail through the back hole. I mainly have to braid or stuff my hair under the lid, whereas a ponytail was easy to deal with on the Giro helmets. Also agree on the weird straps--they lie at an angle and I haven't been able to get over it.

Love this helmet! We gear up and ride...the fit is so good and comfortable, don't give the helmet a second thought. Venilation is great, but need to wear skull cap during cold weather --- brrrr!

Comments about Bell Sweep R Bike Helmet:

This is my current lid that I am now using for all my rides. The fit is different from Giro Atmos and doesn't feel as light. The Bell helmet rear adjustment is the easiest in the business but the chin straps just don't seem to align right. I always feel them after putting on my helmet. Never had that problem with my Giro but had other problems. I do think there are lighter helmets as well as lighter feeling helmets out there but this is the most comfortable helmet I have worn...just got to work on those straps...They might just need to be broken in a bit? Helmets should be replace every couple years for safety and this is a good helmet.

For the value it is hard to beat this helmet. Fits well, flows air effectively, is light and looks good. I personally love the ease of the tensioning system, have yet to see anything better.
