New Helmet - Bell Star Recoil review
I went for my first ride with my new Bell Star Recoil helmet during rush hour. WOW! I can't believe the difference. It's like I'm not wearing anything at all. Not only light on my head but the wind buffeting effect is fantastic (I didn't feel the wind). This was tested up to near 90. I turned my head left and right and no shake or pulling. It even felt like my stock bike shield (which will be replaced with a double bubble within a few days) wasn't sending all that wind into my chest/head area. I didn't know that a helmet could make such a difference. I am very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend this helmet. I keep thinking I should buy another for backup at these great prices.

Here is a picture of my new helmet. My previous helmet was an HJC Cl-15.

I went up a size because I measured with a tape measure according to their size chart. It fits perfect. When I got the HJC at a shop they told me how it was supposed to fit rather than measuring. I like the fact that it comes with two sets of pads. Soft pads were in the helmet which I like. I am told the firm pads are more like the Arai pads. Either way, there is the option to change.
