Bell Array Helmet

I really like my new helmet. After comparing prices and weight of helmets I thought this was a great buy. I have read people's reviews and they say things like, "I hardly know the helmet is on my head." Well that is how I feel about the Array. Totally recommend this to anyone. I have a had Bell Sweep helmets in the past and I like this one much better.

I have both a 2009 Volt and Array and I like the Array a little better. I bought the Volt to replace a 2006 Sweep R. I loved the Sweep and figured the Volt to be an upgrade and although the Volt is a better helmet, it didn't fit as comfortable as my old Sweep. I bought the Array because neither the Sweep nor Volt made a helmet with a yellow and black pattern. Both helmets weigh about the same and fit about the same although there is a little more padding in the Volt. The Array appears to have a lower and sleeker profile and fits more comfortably on my noggin. The Array is also nearly half off the price of the Volt. Knowing what I know now, I would buy the Array over the Volt or Sweep, the Array is that comfortable and sleek. Hope this review helps everyone.

For some reason I think Bell helmets fit my head better than other brands. I've used a lower priced Influx for several years. I wanted a flashier helmet, and especially liked the black/yellow ones which I could get with the Array. I haven't had the Array very long and haven't ridden in the heat of summer yet. So far I can't say that the Array is more comfortable or lighter than the Influx. I haven't noticed any significant advantage of the TAG system over the GPS. Still, I like the way the Array fits and looks and am happy I bought it. FYI, I am an old fart and not a racer by any stretch.

It's a nice helmet. I bought a Specialized before this for about $20 less that is Snell rated, which this one is not. It's fit is good. The finish isn't as good as my cheaper helmet. All in all not a bad helmet. I think this one has better airflow, which is good on these 100+ degree days.

I am pretty sure your Array helmet saved me from an extended stay in the hospital. It took a strong impact, cracked the foam, but my noggin was unaffected. The amount of scuffing on the shell, suggested it was a big impact. The fit system seemed to distribute the impact so I didnt realize how severe it had been till inspected the helmet. Thanks Bell!

A bit more low-profile and less gaudy than most high end helmets. I like the fit system a lot, and it has plenty of vents. Probably not for weight wienies or avant garde fashionistas, but you get a fine high-end helmet at a mid-range price. A great helmet overall.

I had a cheaper Giro before this one and while both would protect the noggin if needed, the Bell does it comfortably and with style. It honestly feels like you are wearing a hat after a few minutes and the straps are pretty comfy too. Good vents, good helmet.
