Bell Faction Multi-Sport Helmet

Awesome helmet! I'm a 27-year-old male with a headsize of 56 cm. or 22-1/2 in., and the medium size Bell Faction White Critters helmet fits perfectly. The kids' version of the Faction is called the Fraction.

It comes with three sizes of pads. The medium size pads are already in the helmet and they fit the best for me. The other two size pads are thin ones and thick ones. The thick ones make it fit my head so snug that I doubt I'd even need the chin strap haha.

I used the free shipping and Amazon delivered it two days sooner than they estimated it would arrive, which made my day.

The same day I received the helmet, I went for an 8-mile bike ride out in the 90 degree Florida heat and it was great. The pads kept the sweat out of my eyes and remained comfortable the entire ride. The front vents are what really kept my head from getting too hot.

I would recommend this helmet to anyone who doesn't like the look of bike helmets. I'm one of them. I like the Bell Faction White Critters because of its fun design, which you just can't get with a bike helmet. And being dual-certified for both skate and bicycle use, you'll only need to buy one helmet.

Some quick tips for proper fitting and wear:

Wear the helmet low on your forehead for best coverage and protection.

Buckle the chinstraps! Wear them loose enough for comfort, tight enough not to slip past your chin.

This helmet has no protection around the front, back or sides.
Bad purchase.
Seller was slow to ship the item.
Over priced.

Not much to say. If i ever land on my head and it breaks, then i won't like this helmet. but for now it's comfortable, easy to adjust, and doesn't look as lame as a lot of helmets.

I like this helmet because of its simple design. I'm not a fan of the helmets that make me look like an alien with a huge cone on the back of my head. I don't want a bunch of frufru things. It has a few vents which are nice. The strap is nice and soft so it doesn't chaff your neck. The outer shell is hard plastic which I like for some reason.

Overall this helmet is light. It also comes with a few different thickness of pads. The measurements for fit work well. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

When I was riding Motorcycles many years ago and rode about twenty years or about 200,000 mile, I was using a Bell Helmet. You are trusting your life to what you are wearing. When I though I want to get a bicycle to partly relive my motorcycle days and partly for local transportation, I got a Bell bicycle helmet again. As usual the quality is very good. The color is molded in the plastic and you can adjust the liner inside the helmet with spare pad that come with it. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that Amazon dose not carry this type of helmet in a large white (I got a plane black one). Once you get the helmet adjusted to fit you head, you hardly know you are wearing it.
