I looked everywhere for a good deal on a helmet. That being said for a middle of the road type price this feels like a more expensive helmet. Excellent wind flow. Excellent fit. Very light. Looks a bad ass. (or at least as bad ass as a helmet can look) I haven't worn a helmet in years because the old ones were always hot and heavy. Im glad to have this one. Im sure it will keep my head safe the next couple of years.

... this helmet keeps it cool. Bell really knocked it out of the park with this one. I know a lot of people like the Giro Atmos and Ionos helmets (which are great helmets by all means), but for the price you pay on them, you can get the Bell equivalent and a lower cost. Granted, the Giro helmets are just a smidgen lighter, but not by much. Plus, the detachable visor is such a huge bonus on the Sweep! With my old helmet, if I knew it was going to rain, I would have to fit my cycling cap under and try to play with the visor just to keep the rain out of my eyes. But, the visor on the Bell Sweep pops in and out with ease, and being made form a nice flexible plastic compound, you are not going to shatter and crack this thing trying to pop it in or out.

The Tag-Fit system... oooooooo... it's like having a custom fit each time you put this helmet on. I personally like to loosen the brace through the Tag-Fit via the little dial on the back each time I take it off just to keep it easy to put back on. Why? have you ever tried putting your helmet on, when the fitting brace is already adjusted to your head, but folds, bends, and twists between the inner part of the helmet and your scalp? NOT FUN! Once the helmet is back on and buckled in, just roll those finger over the dial till the helmet fits snug. Avoid using the brace as a cheese grater on your noggin!

Oh, and the air passes through pretty well too. Easy and breezy.

If you are going to drop coin on a higher end helmet, make it easier on your wallet and get the Bell Sweep.
