Excellent

I've always been an Arai M size so was somewhat surprised to need to go up to a L despite still meeting the requirements for an M! The lid is very light, very quiet and visibility is amazing, almost can see any of the lid in your peripheral vision. Very simple to remove the visor for cleaning or to swap.

An exercise in perseverance eventually pays off!

Buying a helmet on-line can be tricky, especially if switching brands. Tried two budget helmets based on glowing reviews but was ultimately very disappointed with both. Returned to a Bell helmet (I've owned a few) and the fit and comfort suits me perfectly. The light-reactive visor is the stand out feature of this helmet. Its brilliant in sunny or dark conditions. Wind noise is no better or worse than other (premium) helmets I've owned - ventilation works well and wind buffet seems better than my outgoing Arai helmet. The only disappointment, which I discovered after purchasing the helmet, is it only has a 3 star SHARP safety rating - the first Bell helmet to score so low. Would suggest SportsBikeShop feature all SHARP safety ratings with their helmets - as a reference point, if nothing else. But a big thumbs up to SportsBikeShop for making my returns a quick and effortless affair. I will certainly shop here again.

Bell Moto 3

Had been looking at a bell moto 3 for a little while as I had not long brought the bell 500 custom,and wanted a helmet with a bit more protection but didn't want a full face type.Have to say delivery was quick as usual and helmet was well wrapped up.1st thing I found was the helmet felt snug to get on but once on is super comfortable,the padding is thick but soft.As with other half open face lids there is wind noise but not as bad as a few other brands I have.Also excepts my Oakley goggles and the vision is brilliant. Would buy another Bell moto 3 at the drop of a hat now,it's a very cool looking helmet.
