"Just right"

I am very happy with this helmet. It took less than 5 minutes of initial adjustments to the straps. I REALLY like the adjustment dial. Put it on your head and simply turn the dial until it tightens and fits adequetly.

I do not even notice wearing it while cycling.

Between the two major head shapes (oval and round), my head is slightly more toward oval. I found that Bell helmets fit oval shapes better than the Giro which is better for round heads.

Also checkout the Consumer Reports Magazine review for bike helmets. The Bell Slant made it on their recommendation list.

Love the helmet and would recommend it.

"Good looking and practical"

It took a while to find a helmet that wouldn't make my head look like a giant mushroom... Many are just too bulky and too heavy! Originally I tried Bell Slant in a store (REI), really liked it and then bought it online for much cheaper. Great ventilation, easy to adjust, looks really nice... Thank you, Amazon! 5 stars

"Bell Bike Helmet"

Fits snug and secure and has good ventilation. I chose it because it was top rated in Consumer Reports. Very light weight. 5 stars

"Good Fit"

Returning to bike riding after ten years a new bike helmet was in order. After reading reviews in various places the Bell Slant was my choice. Ease of adjustment for a good fit and reasonable appearance were important considerations. The helmet has met both needs. Therefore I have been wearing it on my weekend rides. It is comfortable, secure and does not require constant adjustment as did helmets of years ago. For the price it even looks fine. 5 stars

"Bell Slant"

You can't go wrong with this helmet. It is a very comfortable helmet, and the price is right. This Bell product is much better than my Trek helmet. 5 stars
