I am very happy with this helmet. It took less than 5 minutes of initial adjustments to the straps. I REALLY like the adjustment dial. Put it on your head and simply turn the dial until it tightens and fits adequetly.

I do not even notice wearing it while cycling.

Between the two major head shapes (oval and round), my head is slightly more toward oval. I found that Bell helmets fit oval shapes better than the Giro which is better for round heads.

Also checkout the Consumer Reports Magazine review for bike helmets. The Bell Slant made it on their recommendation list.

Love the helmet and would recommend it.

Fits snug and secure and has good ventilation. I chose it because it was top rated in Consumer Reports. Very light weight.

This is a superior helmet that's easy to fit. Recommended by Consumer Reports also.

Returning to bike riding after ten years a new bike helmet was in order. After reading reviews in various places the Bell Slant was my choice. Ease of adjustment for a good fit and reasonable appearance were important considerations. The helmet has met both needs. Therefore I have been wearing it on my weekend rides. It is comfortable, secure and does not require constant adjustment as did helmets of years ago. For the price it even looks fine.

Had a spill 2 days ago while wearing this helmet.
I hit the road hard and tore myself up. The helmet cracked (like it's supposed to) and I walked away. What more can be said?
I have a large head and this one fit comfortably after trying on numerous "one size fits all". Its a stylish helmet and has plenty of ventilation.
Highly recommended. I will be purchasing a new one immediately.
Bell has a replacement program for helmets that are damaged in a crash. I'll look into that and so should you if you damage yours in a wreck.

Absolutely always wear a helmet. Wear it properly fitted as well. Even if you are not a speed daemon like me it's so easy to fall and you will need all the protection you can get. Most people ride on the road and I can tell you from experience it is hard and unforgiving. Your head is your weak spot so protect it!!!!

It took me awhile to find an orange helmet and I was leery of just trying one from the net. I went to a bike shop and tied it on and knew this was the one. I will say it did take awhile to get the straps just right, once you learn how (I advice looking at the little booklet)it all becomes clear and you'll have a great fitting helmet. I never got the straps right on my last helmet and now really know what a good helmet fitting correctly will do for you. No more fighting with straps or having it shift. I really like this helmet and can't figure any way for it to be much better for a mid range helmet.

great visibility from bright colors and great protection & comfort as well, universal size fits well with the available strap settings, well made construction, removable visor offers greater flexibility and style & useful too. Highly recommended.

It took a while to find a helmet that wouldn't make my head look like a giant mushroom. Many are just too bulky and too heavy! Originally I tried Bell Slant in a store (REI), really liked it and then bought it online for much cheaper. Great ventilation, easy to adjust, looks really nice. Thank you, Amazon!

This helmet might fit all the right criteria you have in shopping around for cranium protection: pretty stylish (for a helmet), lightweight, aerodynamic, color selection, adjustable sizing for your big or small noggin. BUT and this a BIG BUT - their design for the straps that come down the sides of your face and clip in under your chin is just awful: it's impossible to get the connectors that sit half-way down on the straps by your cheek/ear to lay flat. as a result it's a really uncomfortable and annoying fit.

why spend good money on a helmet that will only distract you, be frustrating, and make you wonder - WHO GETS PAID TO DESIGN THESE?!?? clearly, those people should be fired.

Before my purchase, I tried on several styles in stores. I know I am a size Medium. The helmet is nice, but was bigger then I expected. You can adjust the tightness, but the helmet itself was larger then I would had like. Still it is a good helmet.
