> 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 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.

> 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 hourThe helmet was true to size , not very tight nor loose , with a lot of vents , if you are planning on using it on the highway I would recommend a face mask

> 24 hourPurchased for my son and he really digs the look of it. He thinks it seems a little tight but no doubt it just needs to mold to his noggin. Also it came with a fairly nice storage bag. Overall were very pleased so far.

> 24 hourFor the price I don’t think you’ll find a lighter more comfortable helmet. I missed the boat on the older fly f2 carbon helmets that were a decent price but almost impossible to find anymore except in XS or XXXL. Had one good wreck with it so far and walked away unscathed as far as my head goes. Highly recommend for a budget friendly light carbon helmet that looks good too.

> 24 hourFor the price, theres little (or nothing) better. I am always glad for the hi-vis (closer to lime green than yellow) colors and about colors, wish the black part was blue, or light blue. I dont know why theres so much black paint on all these helmets but I was opting for the white/blue torch model, but this yellow/black one is much more affordable and basically the same safety features. Recommend to visit any local shop to ensure fitment prior to purchasing things like this, but the Large is the same size here as with the torch model. first time riding and a dollar sized rock was flung up from my rear tire and landed on my (helmeted) head and am so glad to have it. Ive inspected it, and rubbed it but appears to be no damage, and even though it makes my hair look funny, Id rather have that then injury.
