Bell Soquel MIPS Bike Helmet

I feel it is just a tiny bit small for me but MIPS technology makes the difference. Safety FIRST!

chin strap is short, leaving no adjustment on this horse face.

There's no padding or shaping on the rear adjuster. It's just a large slab of hard sharp edged plastic. I'll buy some pads but really they should have been included.Also this is another helmet that doesn't fit well due to the mips liner. They rushed the shell designs and they lost the good fit n feel bell always were known for. I think they needed to go more rounded or something as the mips versions are about an inch or so wider at the temple.But yup better than a skull on concrete.

I'm not shy to helmets – I ride MTB, Dirt (dual sport Yahama), Street Bikes, and I'm a certified ski and snowboard instructor. I always wear a helmet, and advocate that all others should. The reason I upgraded to this helmet, is my old Protac wasn't MIPS certified, which on my dirtbike helmet that was a huge deal to get, so I figured that I need to follow suit for mountain biking. I have a hard tail and a dual suspension but I don't get too crazy, but after breaking my leg a couple years back on a blue run snowboarding (I'm an experienced backcountry rider, resort double blacks are nothing, was just bombing a groomer and got bit by a snow snake, gash in my board and front flip at 40mph, concussion and broken goggles, my helmet saved me so as mom always said, WEAR A HELMET. Shattered my tibia and fibula but my head was ok..). Basically, I'm a big fan of helmets and have many for every sport, MIPS is what you want and this one is great for the price.The details on this helmet - it looks stylish which I do care about. The visor works and doesn't fall down over my line of sight. The back is adjustable with a click retention system, which I like a lot as I have a big head (New Era Hat Size 7 5/8). On the last click this one fits me securely, you never want a helmet too loose. I've had this a couple months now, and done some longer treks (20mi dirt) and it is comfortable and breathes in the heat, no problem wearing it for hours and doesn't give me a headache so I'm giving this 5 stars, especially given the price for the style and features. I haven't taken a crash on it but like most safety features, you have it and hope you never "need it" - this one is great to me as an active male that lives in the mountains. I highly recommend if you don't get this one, do buy a MIPS helmet - I am replacing all my old ones for this new tech as it's worth it.

Me and my family are outdoors enthusiasts and mountain bikers. I would never purchase anything but bell. They are the oldest and the most well know for a very good reason. If you have children always opt for a mips helmet, you won’t regret it.

I also have a Lumos Ultra with MIPS and it's more substantial than the Bell helmet. Of course its lots more money but for what the Bell is it is a good value since it's certified, light and quite comfortable.

I needed the latest technology to protect myself from head injury, and fortunately, it's come with a reasonable price. I've owned Bell helmets since the 80's. They look better than the competition's designs, too, and that's a big selling point. What I also needed was protection from the sun, so I needed a helmet with a visor. This one has a visor, but I wish it was a little longer. It isn't long enough to shield your eyes & face from the sun. And the visor sits too high up the forehead. To be honest, there isn't a bike helmet visor out there that really does the job. The Bell Soquel's sun visor is just as useless as the competition's. Nevertheless, it's designed well to protect you from head trauma. The only knock I have against it is the useless sun visor.

Comfortable, light and safe. First helmet with MIPS system

The media could not be loaded.  Esta cómodo, es resistente. Aunque no quisiera probar su eficacia jajaj.Un único problema es que la visera no es desmontable como pensé que venía. Tal vez y es un error mio.Tiene mips y de que es original no hay duda.Mi cabeza mide 57 cm y me quedo perfecto. Tengo 17 años y incluso dude en comprarlo porque me medí la cabeza con una tira de construcción jajaj. Espero y no se rompa nada. Soy de la cuidad de México y en verdad tardo mucho tiempo en llegar bueno a mi criterio lo pedí el 22 de abril y llego apenas el 1 de mayo por la mañana.Se ve de lujo. Es mi primer casco.

El casco llego rápido y es como se describe y como aparece en las fotos de la publicación, había leído opiniones donde mencionaban que les llegaba dañado o en malas condiciones y me imagine que era un tema que no pasaba mucho, pero al abrirlo me di cuenta que todo el casco por el rededor esta lastimado, dañado y con marcas, llega en bolsa caja y sin embargo es evidente que así sale desde el proveedor, no es un problema de la mensajería, ojalá lo tomen en consideración por que hace que un buen producto, baje en calificación. PRODUCTO CON DEFECTO DE CALIDAD DESDE PROVEEDOR, LLEGA GOLPEADO, RAYADO Y DAÑADO EN GRAN PARTE.

Se ajusta muy bien, es resistente. No es barato pero hay que invertir en seguridad.

El casco es perfecto, totalmente lo recomiendo
