BELL Z20 Aero MIPS Helmet

Where do you begin with helmet reviews. Well let’s start below: - FIT: The helmet according to the sizing chart and measurements I took and ordered fit to a “T”. In fact, same sizing (large) as my Bontrager helmet. When tightened, it was snug and had no flop and did not create any unusual or pesky pressure point issues. - AIRFLOW: While I will agree I was riding 68 degree weather, the flow through the minimal venting was sufficient and even on a 95 degree day will suffice. I wear a skull cap even in the hottest of days to soak up sweat. I read a recent review by a customer here stating it was hot and the sweat retention too much. I would suspect she does not know you should wear a under helmet cap to help reduce that drastically even in the hottest of days. The air across the top of the head was good and this aero helmet should not be a issue next season when full on heat. - DESIGN: The design is stylish but mainly functional. I really pay secondary consideration to style. The vents are placed as well as can be to retain aero functionality but allow sufficient air to get in. Not sure if a midline vent with a slide closure on the hottest of days would benefit but maybe a consideration for a re-design by Bell for the future. -DURABILITY: That is yet to be determined. Stay tuned. But on appearance and a detailed hand inspection, seems to be well constructed without any issues to note. -PRICE: Insane! And it is not even the most expensive. No bicycle helmet should be over $125 ever! But to get more top features, unfortunately, you have to pay. Is this a 5 star helmet? I would say a definite 4.5 right now. But since Amazon which I deplore on their 1 star increments without ability to take .5 off for issues, I gave benefit of the doubt. However, I will change it if warranted down the road.

Excelent helmet. Lightweight and confortable.
