Sports reviews of Bell Adrenaline Bike Helmet
Customer Review: Fashionable and affordable helmet
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Bell Adrenaline is a value for its comfort, fashion and meets US Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines. Backed by a $20 crash replacement (save your receipt), its an unbeatable deal!
Adrenaline does not let my head get unbearably hot and sweaty with its averagely sized vents. If you're riding around in Nevada with hundred degree plus weather, or a weekend warrior who is going absolutely all-out, look elsewhere. Otherwise, commuters, leisure and trail riders will be satisfied.
Just don't expect a helmet that feels like you're 'not wearing' a helmet - the vents are definitely not of the higher end.
The strapping design fits well around my head (Size 7 1/4), and with proper fit, can sit slightly above your head to allow airflow from back to front. Plus! The helmet does not rattle AT ALL when moving your head back and forth. All this is done by the plastic suspension system fits the crown of your head and allows the helmet to sit slightly above your head while completely secure.
The suspension is a design I have seen done effectively in Firefighter Helmets and some military Kevlars. The beauty about adjustment of the Adrenaline suspension system is that it can be done one-handed with a plastic hold-release mechanism while still on your head, instead of having to remove the helmet and move around the Velcro on military or firefighter helmets.
The straps are more of a minor compliment to make sure it doesn't fall off from being lifted or thrown off. The straps are thin, but the buckle is curved for your chin. If the suspension is fitted snugly, you could almost get away without wearing the straps and feel comfortable.
The pads are thin and few in number, but I see this as an advantage as it won't retain as much heat and sweat as larger pads.
Adrenaline's design mimics higher end designs with a quasi-tear drop design. The carbon-fiber pattern and the long lines racing across makes it stand out nicely from the rest of the pack. The generally round shape is found to be the safest design, and this accommodates it well without looking like a child's helmet.
The visor leaves plenty to be desired - with the visor sitting about an inch higher than being flush with the bottom edge, it does little to block the sun. It appears the visor is more for fashion and design than efficacy.
Having said all that, my experience with helmets is slightly different from most. I'm accustomed to wearing firefighter or military helmets where I often had to operate in extreme heat conditions under helmets without ventilation! I wore 50lbs of gear, a no-vent Kevlar helmet on foot patrols in Iraq when it was 140 degrees outside.
All said, even with my experience in helmets, if you're looking for a good looking helmet with good accommodations for comfort while retaining safety, this is an excellent deal for its price!
