Advice: How to make sure your helmet fits correctly
You'd be surprised how many riders wear a helmet that's too big for them. Here's how to tell if a lid really fits you...

A great lid.
Quiet and comfortable lid and the adaptive visor is ace!
I bought this helmet for a few reasons. Firstly it is a Bell which I have always found good. Secondly it stated a quiet helmet - not sure how as you can't stop the wind, anyhow it is quieter than my old helmet and is a good fit. Finally, the colour matches my bike :-)
Bought it because of the visor & it was cheap & last year's helmet visor was poor. Didn't understand why it had MIPS but didn't qualify for 22-06, anyway the helmet is fine, the visor feels cheap & flimsy but is the best part, self tinting, love it, why don't all helmets use these, & why can't you buy a replacement, I don't know but am happy with the helmet.
Great looking helmet very comfortable and quiet. The light reactive visor works brilliantly but with one draw back, I've never known a visor to scratch so easily.
Good helmet at a great price.
Plenty of venting options and a decent visor.
Very good helmet fits well and visor is amazing
Excellent value, well made and comfortable helmet. I own more expensive crash helmets that are not as good, the react to light visor is perfect. Very happy with purchase. Recommended.
After trying on many lids (thankyou Sportsbikeshop for free delivery and returns!), this is the one I liked the most. I needed something mid-budget, not too heavy, yet still good quality. Love the auto-tint visor, saves fiddling with a flip down one. Just need to get used to the double D fastening as always had quick release before. Fits great, and looks great :)
Comfortable, good looking, a bit more noise than expected
Brilliant helmet, is a bit loud at speed but its comfortable the auto visor is amazing.
The Bell Qualifier DLX MIPS has fantastic specs for the price, as a relative newbie (been riding 2 yrs) you dont want to be ripped off or buy the wrong product and waste money, this helmet does exactly what i needed, good quality and a good price. air vents prevent misting, cleans up well. Looks great too
Its an ok lid for the price, venting is good and anti mist coating seems to work fine. The vents let plenty of airflow in, tho not had much use for the top vents due to the crapy weather here in the uk at the moment. The auto tint on the visor is excellent and the main reason for buying this particular lid, but the worst thing for me about it is the noise, for me it's the worst I've owned, it's ok if you're going under 50mph, but over that and it becomes very anoying and I do wear earplugs when I use it. My advice would be to spend a little more as you'll get better quality, as the saying goes you get what you pay for. I have several lids and find once you're paying £300+ the quality is so much better. I just use this on shorter trips now but only if it's sunny so I get the benifit of the auto tint visor lol.
The Bell Qualifier DLX MIPS is a fantastic spec helmet for the price paid, very comfortable and good quality construction with added safety feature of the MIPS device. I would not be without the reactive visor now on a helmet, works extremely well when riding into the sun. Matt finish on this helmet is also very good and seems easy to clean so far after my initial reservations about this, overall a good product I would recommend for the price point.
Good fit, comfortable and well finished.
The transition visor that comes with the helmet is a thing of beauty. Either darkens or lightens the visor with the amount of daylight available. Sunny = Black Night = clear. Helmet itself is a very comfortable fit and the chin strap can be extended enough so when you losten it to take the helmet off you've no call to undo the D rings. Loads of ventilation for a hot day and you can fell the air cooling you inside the helmet. Only down side is the side the removable panel is on the fit the SENA intercom can be a tad noisy. The intercom is dearer than the helmet so most people won't be buying that. Would have been 5 stars only for this. Overall a cracking helmet for the price.
I had a Bell Star Carbon for 7 years before this one and I've chosen this one because it's like putting the same helmet on. The fitting is virtually identical!! And it's cost me less than half the price !!
This is my first Bell helmet and I'm very happy. It fits perfectly and I'm impressed with the transitions visor. Apparently it goes to dark smoke in strong sunlight but even on an overcast day it's starts to tint as soon as you take it outside. Highly recommended and especially for the price.
Good fit, and make wearing spectacles easy as it has slots near the ears to allow you to put them on once the helmet is on securely.
Great Visor that auto tints in sunny weather, nice touch on what is basically a budget helmet, would always choose a Bell helmet
