really cool helmet!!
This is a great fitting helmet, size chart is spot on, helmet doesn’t budge in highway cruise, the look itself of the helmet is sick, by far it is the sickest dot helmet on the market, but u cant run from the mushroom look, no matter what u cant beat a novelty German or military helmet!!!

Drifter helmet
We love Drifter helmets. However Bell has a problem sizing the Pink Diablo. My wife had a small in matte black. She tried to replace it with another small in Diablo pink and it was like an extra small so we had to send it back. We went to a local dealer and the same thing happened. A small in black is different than a small in the Diablo Pink?? C’mon Bell, get it together

All around great helmet. Using sizing chart, it was a great fit and very comfortable. It looks even better than the picture. Hot!!

Military Style Drifter Helmet
Excellent construction and innovative style commemorating the military. Very similar to the new Kevlar helmet which is smaller and light. I have received many compliments on the helmet. Definitely like the bullet style rivets along the outside of the helmet. The new issue ACU helmet cover fits over the Drifter like a glove. I'm very satisfied with this helmet! Definitely recommend it to anyone!

I really like this helmet. I get a lot of compliments on it and questions as to where I got it. The fit feels funny, but I'm not used to wearing a helmet in this style. I really love the design (I have the one with pink flames.) I was slightly disappointed the flames weren't hot pink, only a light pink. That is only my preference though.

Not to bad. Worth the money.

Way bigger than I expected!
I bought the Combat blk/brn Drifter helmet with the skull/spade/wings/etc. The inside fit was a little big and the exterior size was just HUGE. The pics make it look a good bit more streamlined than it actually is.

This helmet is great. I have had Bell helmets in the past and they have all was looked and fit great. The drifter is awesome I have two of the ones with flames and the leather one. Best thing about them is my head no longer looks like a bubble gum machine. I love them both and have stored the others and given the rest away.

I was completely satisfied with my drifter helmet. I have owned many previous open face helmets and I like this one the best the look is really cool. And it fits very comfortable even riding my hard tail chopper for the price it cant be beat.

The helmet overall is great. Fits well and feels good. Only downside I don't really care for is the rivets for the straps are like the bottoms of shell casings. And I wish it came in more than 2 colors.. My bike is blue and black.

Nice helmet.
All in all this is a good helmet. I really like the style; I get lots of positive comments from people about its look. I have noticed on cool mornings the ear warmers don't do that great of a job, but I have a face cover that goes over my ears and that fixes the problem. It's hard to find a helmet that meets every need of every driver, but at the end of the day, if this helmet was stolen, or destroyed, I'd buy another just like it.

cool helmet
The helmet fits good and looks awesome! Its even fairly durable too, it fell off my bike onto some gravel and I could barely see any marks at all. The strap on it is a bit long and sometimes flaps and hits my ear... nothing scissors can’t fix though.

Not Bad
Good look and durability. Somewhat disappointed with thickness of helmet from inner pad to the outer shell. Sticks out from your head too much.

The helmet looks great, but the fit is takes a bit of getting used to. This is not my first brain bucket, but it is the first that I have had that has very little padding at the very top of the helmet. If strapped down to hard, you really feel it on the top of your head. I also do not like the fact that it does not have a clip or snap for the neck strap. Too much flapping in the wind. I do however like the back neck guard, keeps the wind from flowing down your back.

At first I didn't think this was going to be a good helmet as far as wear ability is concerned. After I wore it a few times and the pads conformed to my head, I couldn't ask for more. It is a great helmet! It looks good, and now feels good! A little more wind noise compared to a full face that I'm used to but I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Bell Drifter Helmet
The Bear Flag Drifter is the second Drifter I've had. This one fits better than the first one, in fact, really good, so I gave it a 5 for fit, however be aware that different helmets and different styles of this helmet might fit slightly differently. This is a 'bare-bones' helmet (features rating: 3); nothing fancy, just DOT rated and a really cool graphic. I hope I don't need it, but I think Bell has a good reputation and puts out a good product. In checking the test results on the DOT website, I have never seen a Bell helmet fail.

HELMET FEELS LIKE ITS 5" THICK!!
This helmet sits very, very high on the head. Strap hits you at the neck. It’s also heavy.

Bell-drifter helmet
The helmet looks great and is very easy to fit, with removable padding, making this the most comfortable half helmet I own. The only problem I have is that the chin strap could be a little longer. The cost is more than most half helmets out there, but you get what you pay for, a well made, great fitting helmet.

if you have to wear one , this is it
It’s not made for comfort but adjusting the pads, it fits much better. The rest is great.

Drifter Helmet
The fit is not the best. Size-wise it is right on....but the feel is very hard. Not comfortable at all. I have yet to wear it on the bike. I probably won't.

Nice helmet
I like that the look is a little different from other shorties. It is a really tight fit thanks to the velcro strap across the back. I was really impressed.

Bell Drifter Helmet
First, the cost was okay. The fit was tight in some spots. The finish was not what I expected. The picture I saw prior to ordering, did not reflect the true color of orange I expected. Durability appears to be okay but it has not been tested. Features as far as the neck pad and the top of the head additions were not what I expected. These should have already been affixed to the helmet before it was received. Finally, the strap on the back of the helmet was a complete surprise and if I had seen it in the picture when ordering, I probably would not have ordered the helmet.
