A retro helmet worth owning... (23.01.2018)

My first Bell helmet and i am really pleased with the overall fit, finish and quality of the the Bullitt.
First of all, it is a retro inspired helmet & should be judged as such; comparing it to quiet, plush and all-weather functional helmets is pointless and unfair. It lets in alot of wind, is far from being quiet and does not have the ease of use (like adjustable venting, easy-to-change visor, etc) of ¨modern¨helmets.
But that aside, if used for its purpose i.e a retro helmet for weekend/good weather riding - the Bullitt is superb. Field of vision is THE BEST i´ve ever come across, the smoke visor works very well in the sun and the ventilation is a major plus when the temperature rises.
The visor is held shut by a small magnet - which is a really cool touch. To change visors, i would advise using a small coin as a screwdriver can slip and damage the (lovely) paintwork.
The inner lining and finishes are superb & nice to the touch. After 2 hours of riding i had no hot spots ot discomfort. The Bullitt comes up a little tight (small) in sizing, but i´m sure it will loosen up over time. I have a 55.8cm head and went with the small size.
Overall - i rate this 5 stars and will happily add another to my collection in the future.
As usual, customer service and shipping from FCMOTO was flawless!
