      Comments about Bell Vela Bike Helmet - Women's:

      Started biking to work this summer and needed a basic helmet. This is my first helmet ever, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I think it's a great helmet for the price and the peace of mind it gives while riding in Chicago traffic! Fits great, love the adjustment nob on the back of the helment. Good ventilation and the attached visor is a nice bonus for sunny summer days.

        Comments about Bell Vela Bike Helmet - Women's:

        I have an earlier version of this model. I got stuck in the streetcar tracks (yes, I know) and banged my head on the pavement pretty hard. A few days of mild headaches, but nothing compared to what would have happened without the helmet. That's definitely worth [$] The visor is removable if it bugs you, but it's great for keeping the rain out of your eyes. By the way, this helmet comes in other colors besides pink and white, so shop around if you're not that kind of girl.

          Comments about Bell Vela Bike Helmet - Women's:

          It was between this and another women's specific helmet. I like this one because you don't have to put the pads into it. They are already in place! I wore it straight out of the box with minor adjustments to the chin strap. Very happy with my choice!

            Bought this for my wife. I am used to having to deal with inserting the pads and then constantly trying to get them right for her. This was out of the box and onto her head and that was it. She hasn't had any problems with the clasp or fit, so for me, this is a winner!

                  This helmet has really fit the bill for me. It's easy to throw on with a pony tail and tighten with a turn of the knob. I have the Sky Blue color and no complaints.
