    Comments about Bell Variant Bike Helmet:

    I use this helmet for daily commuting and weekend mountain biking. Good ventilation and fit; easy to adjust. I wear a stocking cap underneath in colder weather. The adjustment system makes for a quick transition from cap to no cap.

    The only con I can think of is that this is definitely not a low-profile helmet. It's a honker. It kinda looks like I had to get a specially made helmet to cover up my elephantitus of the head.

    Comments about Bell Variant Bike Helmet:

    Ordered this one in Matte Olive (a sort of camo pattern)because it's the only color I've seen that comes anywhere close to matching my Novara Corsa bike (which is a sort of light army green). Lightweight -- excellent ventilation -- sporty look. Could use a tad more padding. Fit and comfort improve lots if you wear one of those sweat-catching skullcaps, which I highly recommend. Love the visor (which is removable for those of you who ride all bent over in the drops).
