Pit Boss Sport Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet

We bought 2 one for my wife and one for me. Fit is good. Really like the adjustability of rear strap. Only thing to watch is if you have a crooked nose you may have an issues with the pull down visor.

I just sold my Yamaha 1700 Road Star and purchased a pearl white and black Honda PCX scooter. I have two fantastic full-face helmets but decided I simply wanted a half-face helmet for my scooter. I read every review on every helmet possible and tried on whatever was available at my local store. I detest the “mushroom head” look and let’s admit it, vanity sometimes gets the best of us and I even used a “brain bucket.” It was impossible to get all of the helmets I wanted to try on in one place, so after reading all the reviews I decided to go for this one based on the fact that it is a Bell helmet, so I know it means quality, and because it had excellent reviews, a nice flip-down visor, and many people said it was a much slimmer profile. Here are my findings: I really like the helmet. I bought pearl white and black to match my bike, plus the fact that white helmets make riders more visible. The helmet does not make me look like a mushroom head, but it is NOT a super slim profile either. It is a real helmet that provides as good protection as you’re going to get in a half helmet. Anything less and you would have to go with a brain bucket. The quality is fantastic, nothing less than what you would expect from Bell. I live in a hot climate almost year-round and will probably never use the neck collar, but as you can see from the photos it zips in and out nicely and does not protrude. It is very comfortable. It also seems very soft but well-made and I don’t think it would wear out and peel like many other reviews I have read from other helmets. It also has snaps on the bottom so that it connects to the exterior pieces. The visor is non-removable and definitely better quality than a simple snap on; however, some riders might find the snap-on version preferable in case they want to snap on a full-face windshield. (There are plenty of other options available to do this from other manufacturers.) The inside lining is not removable but you can pull it away from the inside of the helmet and wipe it down if necessary. The pull-down visor is easily extended or retracted with a protruding lip on the left side. (You can easily see it in the photos.). It clicks up or down and it’s really nice. It’s large enough to cover everything above my nose but does not hit my nose. You can see that I have about 3/16” between the pull-down visor and the bridge of my nose, and I would guess that I have a rather short face. The included version is dark smoke. I wear prescription glasses and it easily covers my glasses. Clear and light smoke versions are also available for purchase. Someone complained in one review that the pull tab was pink, not red. It is clearly red, but frankly, if you don’t like it that color just get a black magic marker and make it black! Seriously?!!! The twist dial is a super nice feature. I loosened it up to make the helmet slide on and off easily. I wear a large and this helmet was true to size. Dialing in the twist dial really makes it as snug as you want. Although I haven’t had a chance to use it on the freeway, (I don’t really want to be doing that on my scooter,) I can imagine that this would definitely help with preventing the helmet from lifting up in wind buffeting, This helmet does not have air vents, so if that is an issue for you, you should probably consider another option. I included plenty of photos to help you see what it looks like from every possible angle on someone who is not a model… Lol! I hope this helps you make a wise decision.

Once the seller sent the correct helmet I ordered I tried it out. It is really comfortable except the rear adjuster digs into the back of your neck at first, solved by a thin piece of foam glued over it., or removing completely. So comfortable to wear when riding even with no windshield. Does not lift at all and as expected is noisy but it is cut away around the ears. So glad I got this quality helmet over Scorpion, HJC or LS2. My new favourite helmet for summer. Ride in 40c+ and keeps my head cool. As others have mentioned the visor seems lopsided and rubs the left side of my nose, but nothing a few seconds with a dremel and sanding drum cannot fix. No need for goggles when wearing my prescription glasses, though they do end up splattered with bugs, Visor fits over the glasses easily. Size is as per the manufacturers recommendations, so buy the correct one, not a size up or down.

Excellent fit ,style. But don’t forget to measure your head exactly.

First thing you need to do is COMPLETELY DISREGARD THE SIZE CHART!!!! The helmet runs small. I usually wear a medium helmet and this large fits snug with the adjuster all the way out. My wife would have fit a small size by the size chart. However, I ordered this Size Large for her and she uses the adjuster in the forward holes and it fits her perfectly!!!!! We have been using Bell Pit Boss helmets for 3 years now and we were fit in a Motorcycle Dealership store, so I already knew my wife and I both wore a size Large Bell Pit Boss Helmet. If I had followed the size chart, I would have ordered a Size Small for my wife and I’d be returning the helmet for a size Medium and then return the Medium for a size Large!!!! That’s one heck of a poor way to FINALLY get to the right size!!!!! I’m not going to punish the seller for the Size Chart. When you get the right size, YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS HELMET!!!! It’s perfect for Comm gear and you’ll love the adjuster for a true, custom fit!!!! I ordered the Matte Black helmet because they didn’t have the Carbon Fiber helmet. However, we are going to find a Graphics Design place and have some nice design added to the Helmet to match her 2019 Harley-Davidson Deluxe in Burnt Orange with Black trim. It’s a gorgeous bike for a gorgeous woman!!!! Now she has a new helmet to go with her new (to her) bike!!!! Happy Mother’s Day Babe!!!!!
