BELL Eliminator Street Helmet

This is my first helmet from Bell. Bought it because of the style but love if for the functionality. Primarily used for summer riding since my other helmet is a Gringo, visibility is perfect, anti fog visor works great. Definitely a show stopper on the street. I wish the promo pictures showed off how shiny it is because this thing is almost a mirror.

First, I won't go into the issue of the eight, or so, holes in the top of the helmet and how bad these are under the rain. I live in the California region and have no problem with a light breeze, light rain. Can't speak of harsher conditions.Now, to the helmet. It's a bit bigger than my other helmets (Torc T1 and a 3/4 helmet), but the weight feels about right and it's very comfortable.I really like the helmet and it has become the go-to helmet for my day-to-day. The visor does NOT fog up at all. Zero, not once ... while with my other ones I always have to open the shield at stoplights to let it bread and clear. Both the original clear shield and the darker visor replacement (additionally purchased) worked well.Overall very happy with the helmet: comfortable, doesn't fog-up, good protection, not too noisy.Something that I do want to mention is that I read in so many places that I should move up a size because they came a bit smaller (because of the padding). So, my head is at 58 cm, and based on the chart and these comments I went with the M/L size. Can't really complain with that desicion because it fits, but I have to say that I do find it a tad big, which leads be to write that it does come true to size. I could have ordered the M (57-58) and I'm sure it would have fitted a bit better. Having said that, the M/L does fit OK and it leaves room for a bandana, or winter gear.

Not sure exactly why, but the chrome finish Bell Eliminator was being sold at about half price, so I snapped one up.I'd been switching between a skid lid and a low end flip face for several years, so when I slipped this *very* light, *very* comfortable helmet on, I knew I would never be going back.I wear glasses and there is no conflict between this Bell and my glasses that I've had with my last two full face helmets.Fit & finish is what you expect in a high end Bell.Comes with a really nice bag too.Totally worth full price.

Best helmet ever. If you're thinking of getting the chrome or on the fence on it, get it. Definantly a unique color and it doesn't have that cheesy chrome look, it actually looks real nice on any bike. This helmet has a lot of airflow, but it's super comfy and accommodates inserts for your Bluetooth headset. Only complaint is I wish they designed the visor attachment better. It's a pain in the ass having to use two different hexs to swap my shield out. Otherwise best money spent!

Ive gotten more compliments on this helmet than I can remember. Aesthetically it stands out. BUT, aerodynamically it's like having a dinner plate taped to your face. I've never had a helmet that created so much drag that I had to consciously push my head foreword. It feels like it's about to get sucked off of my head. I've historically worn icon helmets in Large. So I ordered a large eliminator and it is a bit too big. Should've got the medium.
