Bell Custom 500 Helmet

Bell Custom 500 Helmet



This is the Matte Orange Metallic colour



The Bell Custom 500 is DOT approved



I find these helmets fit snug, so be careful when ordering online, for best results I recommend trying them on first at a dealer and you will be sure to have a proper fit. The great part about these helmets is that they have 5 shell and liner sizes. This is great for riders with a small or medium size head, you no longer have to wear a helmet that was made to also fit an XXL size person. 



I purchased a 3 snap Flip-up Shield with a light smoke tint. There is also a Bubble Shield available. The shield can easily be removed if you choose to ride without it.



This helmet has great style and in the sunlight the metallic looks great. It has a very comfortable quilted liner. The shell is fiberglass, and it has a padded chin strap with D-Ring closure. 



 I have found that it is a great helmet and there is hardly any noticeable wind buffeting at highway speeds, as there are no air vents and the wind will travel easily over the helmet. But because there are no air vents you can get quite warm on those hot days.
