Bell-Shield for Apex Helmet
Its great for the hot summer Texas day rides. Just remember to bring the clear shield to swap when the sun goes down.

Apex Shield
The tinted shield is perfect. I don't need to wear sunglasses under it.

Shield for Bell apex helmet
This shield is good quality and a good value. I have not had it long enough to make conclusions about durability, but so far (1 month) it is holding up well. Good sun glare protection.

Poor Quality
This visor is pretty much a piece of junk. It is quite expensive and it scratches with pretty much no contact at all.

Blue Iridium Shield
Great looking shield. Have worn it from 45 degrees and up. No fog problem with this one. Looks great on my helmet and adds the mystery look. Not as dark to look out of as it seems when looking in. I would use the clear one for night though.

Dark Smoke shield for Bell Apex/Sprint
After being told in March by Bell Helmets that their Dark Smoke shield was out of stock and back-ordered until July (!), I searched the web and found Motorcycle Superstore, who did have them in stock. A few days later the shield arrived, securely packaged and it took only a moment to affix to my Bell Sprint helmet. Mounting instructions were clearly printed on the thick protective vinyl cover to the shield, which was easily removed once the shield was in place, preventing fingerprints during installation. (It may also be reused to protect the shield when the helmet is not in use). I bought a Bell Helmet because of their reputation for quality and ease of shield replacement and that is exactly what I got. This is a high-quality scratch-resistant and optically clear shield. I am very happy with both Bell products and Motorcycle Superstore.

good shield
We got the smoke one and it is good dealing with the TX sunshine. Only down side is it is tricky getting on and off. Feels like you are about to break the thing. This is our first helmets so don't have much to base an opinion on but I THOUGHT it would be easier to get on and off.

A shield coated well
Got this for my new Bell Sprint, it's got a really good thick mirror finish that seems to be on there to stay. I had one for another helmet and after several correct washings, it had started to rub off, but this one seems to be quite a bit better. Get one now, & buy a jacket also to save on shipping.

Great Hemet!
I liked the first so well, that I ordered another one. Quiet and very comfortable. The anti fog system works surprisingly well for me.

Poor quality coating
Within the first few days of using the blue shield it started to lose color in spots and has defects on the exterior. I have a blue shield that fits my Nolan and it is beautiful and the finish is great. The one for the Apex, very poor quality finish.

Great Helmet
This is a great helmet. I have never owned one that has a screen over the air vents, nice touch. It is a little noisy but which one isn't? It is light weight and comfortable. The strap is a little too close to the neck but everything else is super.

Smoke shield for Bell Apex helmet
I like the shield a lot. Here in AZ where there is a lot of sun this will come in handy. My only complaint is I thought it was a little high priced ($35) for just a shield. Removing the clear one and putting this on was not the easiest thing in the world, but not terribly difficult.

title looks good
Like it. Easy to remove the old one and replace. No tools. Darker than I anticipated, yet it’s a quality tint and cuts glare well. Overpriced, what shield is not.

Smokey works
I ordered the shield because it was light shading (light smoke). I live in Piedmont Area of Virginia meaning we have a lot of mountains. Riding at dusk is tricky because I go in and out of sun/shade. The shield performs extremely well both in blocking the sun but also not hampering my vision in spots where shadows/night fall are great. The shield is fabulous at high speeds.

Little Expensive But It Works
Bought the Bell Apex helmet about a month ago and bought a tinted shield to accompany it. Had read in one of the reviews that the tinted shield was not optically as free from distortion as the clear. I have not found that to be the case. Both shields have much better optics that the flatter profile shields I have had in the past ( the Apex shield has a convex profile that is more in keeping with the over-all profile of the helmet), and I have found very little, if any, visual distortion. One reviewer noted a rattle in the right side of the shield, but I suspect that it was not properly attached. The one time I have found significant and unexpected noise in the helmet, the shield was not installed correctly. Properly re-attaching the shield on the offending side corrected the problem. I must say that the one glitch is the level of difficulty in attaching the shield to the helmet. It is a royal pain-in-the-ass! Much more so than on other helmets I have owned. However, once it is on, it functions far better than others I have owned, and is very firmly engaged. And, at thirty-five bucks a throw, it is pricey. Can't say anything about durability, as I haven't had it long enough to evaluate that. Would I buy it again? I like the helmet, so I suppose I'd have to. I would buy the Apex helmet again...especially at the close-out price.

Tinted Apex Shield
Nice addition for an already great helmet. Nice to have on those bright days, well designed, easy on and off for the helmet transfer.

No more sunglasses!
This baby is DARK! I have ridden once at night with it just for kicks, but you really gotta be careful. Easy on and off to switch back to clear for night riding.

Bell - Smoke Shield for Bell Apex Helmet
I was looking for something to block out the Arizona sunshine so I would not have to wear sunglasses. The smoke shield certainly did this. My only disappointment is the vision clarity through the shield. It seems to be hazy and no matter how I try cleaning it, inside and out, it stays hazy. This does not stop me from using it, just a bit disappointing.
