Best bike commuting helmet, at a great price June 20, 2007

I've used a lot of bicycle helmets over the last 30 years. The Bell Faction is the best commuting helmet. It's one of the only helmets that you can put a rear-view mirror onto. The helmet seems safer than because the vents are smaller, the shell is thicker, and the helmet comes down further in the back and on the sides. I've never felt hot wearing this helmet. I wouldn't want to wear it on a five-mile climb on a 90-degree day, but for riding around town it's fine. In the winter I tape over the vents and stuff the vents with foam. Below 20 degrees I wish it had a fleece liner, but next winter I'll figure out how to make one.
COMFORT! STYLE! QUALITY! August 10, 2008

This is THE best bicycle helmet I have ever had. I ordered it for in Baghdad Iraq, because the ones AAFES sells are junk. I can't believe how comfortable it is. It is VERY cushy in the top. It makes me feel much safer with the side protection. Other guys keep asking me where I got it, so I know it looks good too!
Helmet is cool, shipper wasn't. June 26, 2007

I think I've already done this, but Amazon won't stop molesting my e-mail, so I'll do it again.
The helmet itself is a helmet, though it looks more red than burnt orange...not that it matters because I put decals on it as soon as I had had it for a few days...now it looks pretty damned cool.
My problem was how long it took to get to me. I paid for the extra shipping as I needed the helmet for my job, but it still took 3 weeks to get to me...despite repeated calls to the wharehouse in Florida that went unresponded to. It was after the last of these "Where's my helmet, folks?" that I finally got the notice that it had shipped. In the end, I'm not sure I'll be ordering anything from the shipper of any bike related items, it's just not worth all that waiting around.
This is a real Bell-ringer! February 25, 2008
R. F. Tardif (Sacramento, CA)
This helmet yields great protection for the only part of me that works really well. I certainly use it whenever I ride my bike. The neihbors giggle when I wear it to clean my bike but, hey, who cares; it keeps me safe. In the winter the holes (there by design) let in enough air to keep me cool... cooler than I want to be. It will work out just great during the hot summers here in Sacramento... rather like crainial AC. Great product and packaging, speedy delivery, and a fair price. Just thinking about it makes me want to buy another!
Feels good, looks good August 7, 2008
Cliff (Richmond, VA USA)
This helmet is comfortable, and when I street skate wearing it, I forget I have it on my head. Mine is charcoal gray, and when I look in the mirror with it on, it makes my face look better than with it off.
