Great helmet and value!

I was looking for a helmet and came across a large array on the internet.  As usual, Amazon helped me narrow it down to Bell.  The Solar is light and sturdy.  It has adjustable straps below the ears, chin strap and in the back of the helmet for a snug fit.  When it's on during a ride you can feel plenty of air coming through as well.  Can't miss with this.

I love this helmet! It's comfortable and has a bunch of really useful features. I especially like the light on the back. I just like lights. And the large number of vents is nice. I also like that it's modular, because it makes taking on and off the helmet when wearing glasses much easier. Which is also why I like the sun visor, because I can wear my normal glasses and not be bothered by the sun glare. Note that the helmet might run a bit small. I usually wear a medium, but I got a large because of other review recommendations, and I'm glad I did! Hopefully I'll never get the chance to test how well it keeps my head from splashing across the pavement, but it seems sturdy and well-made. Especially considering the amazing price!

For the cost of this helmet the quality was much better than I expected. The plastic is not as flimsy as I had thought it would be and the colour and paint quality are great. I love that the face plate is hinged so it can swing up.

What a great helmet - I was worried it would be too tight (it pinched the top of my head just a bit more than I thought it would) but after a day of use I didn't notice the pinching anymore.

The black version looks pretty darn cool. Plus, the lining is a soft, furry material, so it feels plush and warm when you're on the slopes.... even the chin strap is plush! For the awesome price and comfort this provides, I'd recommend this helmet.

The helmet came on time and much to my surprise this helmet looks just like the picture! You cannot beat the price for this helmet and its very durable! I bought it for my step son who is 6 and it fits him nice and snug. I will be ordering more for my other two boys!

I love this helmet. Fits perfectly! Has two minor drawbacks:  Chin strap is extra short and barly gives you enough lenght to secure your helmet properly, let alone snap it!

It also does not come with a second inside, tinted visor for when the helmet is raised. It ONLY comes with the clear, outter shield!

Great helmet for the price and looks and matches my candy apple red bike perfectly!

Helmet fits great! Very comfortable and breathes better than the previous helmet I had. Absolutely recommend to anyone on the market for new gear!

this is a great helmet for the price. I had been doing some autocross and had borrowed helmets thus far, but I knew I would cherish having my own shiny helmet.

I have also gotten to use it going to the local go kart track so it is seeing more frequent use than just a few months of the year.

Comfort wise, it fits and feels very nice. It does not work very well with glasses though (I don't believe any helmets really do) so I would advise one-day contacts.

Over heating hasn't been an issue so far but along those same lines it isn't the lightest helmet and that is certainly part of the price point.

Overall, a great helmet and I really like the red and black design.

I replaced a cheap/heavy Bell helmet with this one. It is incredibly light, nicely ventilated for great airflow, features an easily adjustable chinstrap (which is very comfortable) and has the adjustor wheel for the headband.  There is also a visor that can be easily put on and taken off. I prefer to use the visor only when trail riding and when road biking in the down position it can obscure the vision a bit.  This helmet has all the good qualities of a 100-300.00 helmet at a fraction of the price. I'd absolutely buy it again and highly recommend it. Happy riding

This helmet looks awesome!  Fits great (just use the measurements on bell's website). I have a large and measured 23 inches and it fits perfect. And you can order cheek pads to make the fit even better. It comes with a clear bubble shield and a dark flat shield like the one shown in the picture. Its matte black with white striping but doesn't leave finger marks on it like most matte finishes. Its really light but can be noisy at higher speeds, but it looks so cool so who cares! Just too darn expensive! Thats why 4 stars.

Came out of the box, a few quick, user friendly easy adjustments and out the door for a ride on my racing bike!  Excellent build quality, looks great too, no mushroom head here.  I highly recommend this helmet not just for the great price, but the attention to detail quality at this price point.  I will stick with Limar (Italian Co.) from here on out!

This is my 2nd year riding my motorcycle and the first year I bought a modular helmet for around $60-$70 and instead of doing pricey upgrades to my bike this summer I just got a nicer helmet instead.  I was looking to spend $150-$200 but after reading reviews and looking at all the options this helmet had I saved myself around $25-$30!  So far I love it! It is much quieter when at higher speeds, very comfortable, the removable padding is a great plus and the ventilation is great on the hotter days. For the sense of protection I do like how the face shield clamps on metal clips and the light on the back of the helmet makes night riding a bit safer in my mind.  Glad I purchased this helmet and save a little bit as well.

Oh and shipping was very fast!

Great helmet- a little heavier than what I was previously used to but not a problem at all. Love the visor --and feeling like my head is well protected during my urban commute-priceless!

This is a great helmet! Very well made and fits perfectly. I really like the quick disconnect and the helmet came with 2 drop down shades, one dark and one iridescent. Its very easy to switch them out and I just ordered a clear one as well. The graphics are also very well done. Im very happy with this purchase.

I think this is a very stylish and comfortable half helmet. I did an extensive amount of research on all types of half helmets and decided on the GM45 in matte Black. I found the sizing to be accurate and it fits like all my Bell helmets. First of all, if I am in an accident, I want a helmet that will protect my head and brain. There is a good amount of protection in this helmet. There is about an inch of padding around the interior of the helmet. All DOT helmets are going to give you a slight mushroom head look. This is a DOT helmet not a baseball cap. Again, I really like the way it looks and I get compliments all the time. It sits low on my head and I feel protected. It is very light and aerodynamic. I had it on over 90mph and I could barely tell I had a helmet on. One complaint is when the chin-strap is tightened the end of the strap does not snap onto the helmet. Instead, it slides under a very thin red band. The red band does not hold the chin-strap well and it flaps around. The simple fix is to just tuck it in under your chin. Easy fix that does not bother me. My friend has the more expensive GM65 with retractable visor. He NEVER uses the visor and complains about it all the time. Sunglasses work much better at keeping the wind out of your eyes. This helmet exceeded all expectations and I would recommend it 100%. It offers a ton of value at a great price.
