Bell SRT Helmet (Stealth Matte Black Camo - X-Small)

This is Bell's mid level helmet that usually lists for $200+ and is one of the least expensive helmets I've seen with a DOT and Snell rating. In some of the colorways you can find it for even less so it's an absolute bargain. The Hart-Luck Gloss/Matte Charcoal/White/Red Skull one I ordered was $139 delivered. The skull graphics and pin-striping are a bit "Righteous bruh!" for my taste but they are fairly subdued and on the back of the helmet so it was worth the $70 dollar savings. The very pedestrian white and grey colorway was also available at this price. The exterior finish is nice and unlike most matte finishes it doesn't seem to show fingerprints too much. This helmet runs big. I have a 61.75 cm head which puts me well in to the XL size according to Bell's sizing chart for this helmet but I found the XL to be a bit too roomy and stepping up to the XL puts you in the largest of the three shell sizes, and the XL shell is a *really* big helmet. The Large helmet fits me well, a tiny bit on the snug side but there are no hot spots and I believe it will "give" a little after a few dozen hours on my head. (I'm right in between sizes but I prefer the large especially after seeing how big the XL shell was) Its a very quiet helmet, with excellent vents. You can feel the airflow past the faceshield and over the top of your head even at low speed, which keeps the shield clear and keeps you comfortable. The faceshield itself is very nice, distortion free and has an extra wide field of view. Looking forward I cannot see the sides of the helmet which makes for a nice "open" feeling. Downside, it only really has two positions: locked down and fully up. I like to crack my shield one notch riding around town and that really isn't possible with this shield. However it operates smoothly, the center tab is easy to maneuver with either hand, and it has a bit of an "open assist" where once you start to flip it up it continues all the way to the upward locked position. Unlike other visors I've used it does positively lock in the down position with a fairly loud "clunk" Mine came with the clear shield only, I've read of some of these shipping with clear and smoke.Inside the helmet everything is well made and nicely finished. I've found that cheap helmets really show on the inside, and the Bell feels like quality all the way through. The entire lining is removable and washable, (it can be fiddly getting the crown pads back into place. The cheek pieces are interchangeable and you can order any size from XS-XXL from Bell to help customize your fit. (I may order a smaller size cheek pad to give my beard a bit more room) There are cutouts in the foam by the ears to accommodate an in-helmet speaker system. Standard double D Ring chin strap with a button tab to lock down the end. (I'm not used to this from older helmets and it is necessary to keep the end of the strap from whipping about while riding.)I really have nothing but good things to say about this helmet, other than the sizing chart is a bit off, at least on the upper end, and I do wish the visor had an "around town" notch. But even with that caveat I'd buy another one tomorrow. Good lid.

Excellent for in town, as well as Highway/Interstare travel. Light and comfortable. Good venting. I've had this for a few weeks, and have worn it for hundreds of miles now... riding in various temperatures and conditions. Great all around... rain, heat, speeding, idling, night, day, short trips, heavy traffic, long rides. Excellent visibility. Chris Wood at Airtrix, and Carey Hart collaboration on the graphics is really nice. Rear sticker reads " DOT | FMVSS NO. 218 CERTIFIED | SNELL APPROVED".

I was having problems finding helmet that met all my requirements. It had to be Snell Rated (preferably M2020) , be lightweight, be Blue and While combo color and (because I only use it 5 or 6 weekends a year for racing) - it could not be very expensive. I found this on sale for $168 and it checked all the boxes. I do wish it came with dark sheild or the one that changes tint automatically, but for the price I got this one and purchased a dark sheild and was still under $220 for a quality helmet.

Over all good helmet. I'm very pleased. A couple things to mention is the could be a little better in my opinion, but not bad. This helmet fits a little tighter that what it measures. when I first wore this it was tight on the upper sides of my head but broke in after a little while. it came with the 35mm cheek pads, those were to tight. I replaced them with the 30mm cheek pads, less than $30. Over all good fit, quallity, and road noise not bad.

Bell is the only option for round-oval heads looking for Snell on a budget.I used this as a base for a custom helmet I painted.I am NOT RECOMMENDING anyone paint their helmets as sanding the shell and paints may deteriorate the helmet's safety value.It's pretty comfortable, even on 90 degree plus days so long as you pop the visor open a little. More venting would be welcome but it's not expected for the price you pay.

Very nice helmet, fit and finish is night and day difference from my old HJC Harley helmet. My first Bell product.

Got a new bike, got new helmets.Both were SRT. This one was for the wife, and she loves the glasses slots, and the improved ventilation over her last helmet. Very happy.

The box was clearly labeled with a picture that the content was a Bell Hart Luck XS. Major fail!
