Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I currently ride a brakeless BMX street bike and with the recent near fatal accidents of professional riders I decided to invest some money to protect my skull.
If you visit a skatepark (that requires & enforces safety gear rules) you'll notice a split between ProTec and Bell helmets. Unfortunately, the extra-squishy, super-comfortable foam inside the ProTec helmets are not CPSC certified and the common ones I see are skateboarding helments that are not built for cycling (they do not provide sufficient protection to the lower-rear of the helmet).
Ultimately I did not really care what the Bell Faction looked like as long as it provided the proper protection, but I am very pleased with the aesthetics and the 3 different sized pads included for a perfect fit and I appreciate how well it vents compared to my ProTec classic. I would definitely recommend this helmet to all my friends & fellow BMX riders looking to ride smart and stay safe.
If you're wondering which size to order, I found a Bell sizing chart online (Google) and used a string to measure the circumference of my skull and then measured the string with measuring tape.
