Bell - Mag-8 Helmet
Nice addition to my collection. I got the orange stripe to match my HD apparel.

Bell Mag 8 Helmet
Excellent product. I am contemplating buying another just like it for my wife. Am well pleased. It is a beautifully finished product. I have been asked where I purchased it by several people.

Bell Mag-8 tight fit
I love the helmet the only thing order one size bigger than what bell tells you. The others helmets I have (HJC, Fulmer) I wear XXL but the sizing chart from bell said I should wear a XL so got XL. It is just a hair to small but other than that a real good helmet one of the best I have ever had will buy the helmet again but this time I will order a XXL.

Looks good, i like the shield in the rain. The visor keeps the water out.

Like it or hate it
This helmet is really strange looking. The visor is ok if the sun is high. I have experienced turbulence caused by the visor even with a wind shield at nose level. I feel that the price was on the high side not knowing the real quality of a DOT helmet.

It's a great helmet
It fit pretty good at first but I had to shame the inside a bit to fit real well. The foam inside made it easy to make just the right adjustments to fit great. The visor is great to shade from the sun and I love the way the shield slides under the visor. All together this is the nicest helmet I have had in a long time.

Have mine almost 2 years. Excellent fit & very comfortable. Quiet at speed. Best thing is the huge visor, which is optically very clear & infinitely adjustable thru its travel. Feels like I'm looking thru a big window while riding. Modern styling is a cool touch.

Good 3/4 helmet w/ special features
I find this helmet comfortable, and enjoy the flip up screen and the extended visor which helps block the sun glare.
I have the flat black with orange stripe model. The orange paint doesn't have the most perfect application and tends to scratch off pretty easily.
Also, the extended visor... while it's great for blocking sun, it's really a "sail" in very windy conditions. With severe side winds or headwinds, it can cause a lot of head bobble which is tiring on the neck, due to the way the visor catches the wind.

Helmet looks good and fits good. Only downsides are the flat strap rings (they should be round) and the visor part wants to fly, causing me to constantly pull my chin down. Otherwise it's a fine helmet.

Seems to be a great helmet. Fit is good and shield keeps rain off when needed. I ride with it up most of the time, as I have a windscreen. I put it down when chilly or it is raining. After cleaning with plexis and putting rainx on it, it keeps the water off great. I have several friends that are now considering one.

Great helmet
I love the look and feel of this helmet. I have a medium to large head and the medium of this helmet is a nice snug fit for me. I sometimes forget I'm wearing it! I switched from using an open-faced helmet with goggles and I'm glad I did.

I'm a person with a very large head, so a little carving of the liner was necessary! You may want to consider a 3X style,
I'm otherwise very satisfied.

For the money not bad
This helmet gave me a sore forehead on a 240m day run but it was windy and it might have just been the visor effect. The helmet fit my head nice and the flip up visor worked well.

Love the helmet, the intercom system fits it well. The wife and I are quite pleased with them. Due to the weather, I have only been able to use them once, so the jury is still out. It is comfortable and good looking. Glad I purchased them.

Bell Mag-8
After reading reviews, I bought one online and find it the quietest & most comfotable helmet I ever owned. Air/wind . Airflow under the visor and through the foam makes it very well ventilated in an Alabama summer, yet the wind noise I get on a full face or other face shield helmet is so reduced that with earplus in I could be in my car. I regret that it is too cool when the temp goes below 50 cause after this my other helmets are a 70's rock concert in volume.

Great helmet
This is one of the few helmets I can find that work well with ear phones. I can wear every type of ear phones I've tried comfortably under this helmet. Also, I find the wind noise to be better than other helmets I've tried even for a 3/4. The visor is handy when riding into the sun. The only complaints would be the huge ugly Bell logo on the top and sides that ruin the look of the helmet. These are not easily removed. Also the visor catches the wind a bit and can creak a little when loose. Overall, I've tried a Nolan N42 and Caeberg Justismo as a replacement. Neither sufficed and I'm still using the Bell 4 years later.

Lack of air flow
It fits all right, and it seems oversized on my head. I liked the idea of opening the visor and I usually ride with it open at lower speeds, but lower it about 45 mph. I then get a lot of wind noise in my ears. There are no air vents out the top or back only air from underneath and my head sweats and as stated before its noisy.

A very comfortable helmet. My intercom ear pieces fit very well in the ear pockets and the color matched my Ultra Classic perfectly, but I find that it lacks good ventilation in the helmet and the D ring straps leave a lot to be desired. Over all I am very satisfied with the product.

I was interested in the helmet and decided to give it a try. There must be an error with the sizing chart, because my measurement would put me in a helmet that was two sizes tow small. I am now in a XXL. Very pronounced hard spot on top of forehead that produces a pounding headache after about 30 minutes of use.
Helmet appears to be well made and I enjoy the endless face shield positions, however when pulled all the way down it will fog at low speeds.
This is my first Bell product, I enjoy

Well after reading so much about this helmet I was silly enough to buy two, one for my wife and one for me. I wanted to put an inter comsystem in them for our Goldwing. There are NO ear pockets as it a one piece liner and it doesn't come out as stated by Bell. There are no vents and believe me when I say that they are hot in higher temps and makes you sweat like crazy. When I tried mine on I had a high pressure spot on my forehard and after playing with for over an hour I finally got rid of that
