> 24 hourThis helmet is exceptionally well made. The quality fit and finish is first rate. It’s a little heavy but I think that is a function of the quality. If your head shape fits a Shoei you’ll be comfortable in this. For the price this is a first rate helmet. I will be buying another one for my kid. He has a good helmet, this is better.

> 24 hourIt was time to replace my old helmet due to age. I swapped a street helmet for this one and I’m happy with the results. I would have liked the listing to include more prominence on the fact it lacks a shield

> 24 hourIve been wearing my Bell MX9 Adventure Helmet for a month and I am very happy with it. It is very comfy, feels sturdy, and has great ventilation even in 100-degree weather. I have no regrets about this purchase. It looks awesome too

> 24 hourThe product page is titled Bell Unisex-Adult Off Road Helmet. The item in my Orders page is called Bell MX-9 MIPS Equipped Motorcycle Helmet (Solid Matte Black, Large). This is important, because the MX-9 MIPS and MX-9 Adventure MIPS are two different products. The description, on the color I ordered, says MX-9 Adventure MIPS. The price is right for the non-Adventure model. The key difference is that only the Adventure model has a shield. The product description claims Helmet ships with clear shild. NOT Tinted. What I received does NOT have a shield, nor does it have a shild. This matches the pictures, which do not show a shield. This is the base MX-9 MIPS with no shield and I dont think you can purchase a compatible shield. The overall product seems fine otherwise at a glance, but I wanted one with a shield for winter riding so Im going to have to return it. Getting a cold weather version of a Scorpion AT950 instead.

> 24 hourI chose this helmet because I have seen this brand in F1, I have tried TLD before and they both have similar features, but I chose this one because I thought the MIPS technology was great and I personally liked the case and the multiple colors. Everything is fine and I am happy with it.

> 24 hourThe helmet, perhaps, has a design issue that makes it uncomfortable on the cheek bones. The Styrofoam shell (see arrows on the picture) is non-compressible and extends inward at the cheek bone. The 35mm cheek pad which rests on the shell compresses but has no where to go. The cheek pad has seams which add to the uncomforted. In the picture you can see that the cheek is narrower than the head. I purchased one size larger, which otherwise fits (not a size issue). Otherwise it is a light weight helmet of nice quality. The cost of return shipping is on the purchaser.

> 24 hourIts been a long time since I bought a dirt-bike helmet, but it seems like this one was not much more expensive than the Answer A-Tech I bought back in the mid-80s. Its certainly far more comfortable, though, and lighter. The only thing that takes getting used to is the visor tends to move up and down while riding, especially when the wind catches it at higher speeds. It may just be that the visor screws need to be tightened up a little, but the old helmets (with snap on visors) never had this issue.
