LLewellyn Haines,  AK Helmet Beautiful light helmet. However it was the wrong size and the chin strap was just too tight against my throat and uncomfortable. Difficult to strap and un-strap as the strap was not long enough, and the buckle was hard for my fingers to separate. Beautiful design.

Sean Virginia Beach,  VA Small The Bell drifter fits a little smaller than the sizes indicate. I recommend looking at the size chart and once you decide on your size, order the next bigger size. I ordered mine and had to exchange it because it was too small. Also, if you are looking for a helmet that closely follows the contour of your head, this is not it. It stands out a good inch all the way around from the padding and is a little bulky. Overall a good helmet.

Matthew botkins,  OH eh... I love the look of the helmet, but the chin strap is weird because. It fits very funky and not very comfortable. I'd return it but it's just not worth the effort and waste of time since it still works, just not what I expected. It looks really over sized on the outside of the helmet also, fits snug, just looks huge and clunky.

Monty Panama City,  FL Mushroom, Watermelon! This is a very cool looking helmet but may not be for everyone. I wear an xl and this helmet makes my big melon head even "Larger" Gargantuous is more like it... "mind the spelling" It has added protection with it's thick linning and the ear muffs are very cool indeed. I liked this helmet much but the fit is less to be desired. It lays on your head like a giant mushroom top. I would imaging that interstate rides would create much buffeting if it doesn't parachute me off the bike. :)

New World patriot Wyandotte,  MI Drifter I bought my Drifter a couple of years ago. It has standard rivets for the chin strap and also had a big, white Bell logo painted on the front of it. When I removed the painted logo, it left a fairly large shiny oval on the front of my flat black helmet. Not really a big deal as I just covered it with a sticker. When I first set the adjustment pads, they were pretty tight. Now, after two years, they fit very well if not a bit loose. Today, when I ride to work, I just throw it on. However, when it's interstate or distance time I put on a do-rag and it takes all the shake away without becoming overly tight. FYI, with the exception of the chin strap, DOT sticker and badging, the Bell Drifter is identical to the Giro Bad Lieutenant snowboard helmet (Giro is a subsidiary of Bell). I mention this because Giro manufactured audio/communication ear pads for the Bad Lieutenant that are exact replacements for the Drifter ear pads. In all, it's an inexpensive and clean way for a rider to audio their Drifter for an ipod.

Daniel Murphy Narragansett,  RI Helmet Purchase I purchase the Drifter helmet and I was completely satisfied with the product. I will be purchasing more products from your company. The cost of the product was of great concern.

Justin Diedolf Redondo Beach,  CA Re-SOLD the helmet I loved the look of the BELL Drifter helmet. I received it in a timely manner and was happy with it in person until I tried it on. The Drifter did not fit comfortably and sat entirely too high on my head. Also, the position of the chin strap caused it to choke me when fastened. I sold it to someone who liked it better than I. Thank you
