 Bell Vela Bike Helmet August 1, 2008
Maggie (Oregon Coast)
I returned the helmet. A woman's universal fit does not fit a woman who has a larger than normal head. It was entirely too tight. I later found a Bell helmet with a quick fix type adjustment that fits just fine. I would have kept the one I returned if it fit as I chose it for the color and design and liked it very much.
 not confortable July 8, 2008

I thought the blue would be more sapphire, a deeper blue but it is definitely more of a baby blue. I could live with that but the front side strap sat too forward. It hit around my temples verses being near my ears. I couldn't live with that. I could have attempted some adjustments but I returned the item before messing with it.
Nice item! Great price! May 5, 2008

I had never wore a helmet when ridign before but know it is a necessity with our 10 month old in tow. The helmet fits wonderfully and can be easily adjusted for smaller and larger heads, and when riding keeps your head very cool.Chin strap is not to uncomfortable either.

The helmet is very basic. One size fits all.
I returned this helmet because the straps on
the side and the side buckle make the straps bend
sideways and rub your cheek. This is uncomfortable
and other helmets don't do this...My old Bell was
great, so why did they change it to a bad design ?
Great helmet, protected my head. June 26, 2007

I had a Vela helmet and got in an accident--flipped over my handlebars, tumbled onto my head and somersaulted onto the pavement. My head was fine! I got a big bruise on my side where my handlbars jabbed into me, but despite witness reports of scraping my head against the asphalt, I had only a minor bump on my head. The helmet...is cracked like an egg, but my noggin is fine. Which is why I'm ordering a new one.
This helmet fits comfortably, I like the little adjustable dial on the back that secures the helmet to my head--it's easy to open and close but stays fitted so that my helmet can be secure on my head every time I ride without a lot of fumbling. Also, my head stays much cooler than with other helmets I've used (although, it's a helmet, so it's still hot).
My only complaint is that they no longer come in the pretty pink color I had (2005 helmet color). The magenta is...not my cup of tea, so this time I ordered the blue. I wish Bell would bring back the light pink!
