Bell Bullitt Helmet

[metallyguitarded_imp]

Mine got here today. The only blemish I could find on it was a tiny, tiny little scratch in the paint on one side of the helmet, all the way down by the bottom. I was expecting worse, considering the discount.

But...that's probably a moot point, because I don't think I'm gonna be keeping the helmet. It's a little too tight overall, a little too round in shape, and it folds my left ear in half and won't let it unfold. Also, the on/off process is really tough on the ears...I feel like I'd end up with cauliflower ear.

I also had Manning forehead after a whopping 5 minutes.

Some reviewers online say that these problems go away with some break-in...but I'm not sure it's worth giving up the chance to return it in order to find out. If I had anywhere to go size-wise, I'd see if they'd trade me a larger helmet for the same price...but I'm already at XXL.

All that said, it's a pretty cool helmet; and like MG said, the field of view is great.

Sorry to hear it pechorin. It is getting easier on the ears for me and the Manning mark seems to be diminishing as well. But, with mine, it was very comfortable from the get go. It never felt too tight. I hope you find something else that works well for you.
