Bell Citi

I have a Bell helmet that I could not get to fit correctly and I didn't like the pointed back style of the helmet. I found this helmet and ordered it due to the adjustable fit and rounded back style. I… have a large size head and the helmet adjusted and fit perfectly. I'm afraid if my head were bigger it wouldn't have fit. Aside from that, it's a great looking helmet and well made. To put things in perspective, I typically wear a size large to XL motorcycle helmet.

After my old faithful Bell bike helmet saved my head from a flip-over fall, I bought the Bell Citi universal helmet as a replacement. I wasn't fully convinced that a universal fit would work, but it does.… Adjusting the straps to fit was easy enough when following the instructions. I found it necessary to read the instructions with the helmet at hand due to all the models covered by one set of 'universal' instructions. The fit is great, totally comfortable and secure. While I may not go any faster, I do look good!

At age 74 I've never owned a bicycle helmet before, so I can't do a comparison. People wearing them look so foolish I wasn't going to get one but wife and friends kept nagging me. I got this one because… it had a top rating in Consumer Reports and didn't look as dorky as the multi-colored ones with the pointy rear end. That is, it's minimal dorky for these dorky things. I've been using it for about a month (I ride every day). It's so comfortable ten seconds after I put it on I forget it's there. The cam snap buckles make the chin strap easy to adjust, but the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because the left one has come open twice. I didn't know when it happened and only noticed it when taking the helmet off and realized the adjustment on that side was loose.
