Looking for a lightweight<\/span> open-faced helmet that doesn’t compromise on safety and materials? Look no further than the Bell Scout Air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This helmet weighs in at just 1 pound 12 ounces, making it one of the lightest helmets available in its category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the Scout Air, examining its construction, fitment, interior, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll also dive into what makes this helmet stand out from others in its price range, including its fully removable and washable interior and high-quality components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, the main question I will answer in this review will be: Is this the best low-profile half helmet<\/a> for you? Let’s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bell Scout Air Review<\/p> What Customers Think<\/p> The Scout helmet from Bell’s camp is a product that caught my attention. Not only does it have an interesting design that resembles an “O Maj” from the 90s movie Judge Dredd, but it is also the lightest recorder I have seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The helmet weighs only 1 pound 12 ounces, making it a joke lightweight<\/span>, thanks to its matrix composite D-O-T ECE rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When compared to a custom 500 helmet, which has a more retro feel but is still a 3\/4 around the ears and jawline, the Scout is 10 ounces lighter, which is a significant difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, for only about $20 more, you get a helmet that is 10 ounces lighter than a custom 500. This fact alone should drive anyone looking for a new helmet to consider the Scout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First off, let’s talk about the weight<\/span>. The Belle Scout helmet is unbelievably light, coming in at just one pound, 12 ounces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s thanks to its matrix composite construction, which is a step up from the typical polycarbonate design found in most helmets at this price point. And despite being so light, the Belle Scout still manages to feel sturdy and well-built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The helmet comes in five different shell sizes, which means you can get a perfect fit no matter your head size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Plus, it comes with two peaks right out of the box, which is a nice touch. And if you’re looking for a different type of visor, there are plenty of options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the first things to note about this helmet is its shell construction. It comes in five shells, and the use of a matrix design rather than a poly carb design is a nice touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, the helmet comes with two peaks in the box, and many different visor options are available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Putting on the visor brings me back to Stallone in the 90s with Judge Dredd, which is pretty cool. However, when it comes to fitment, there are a few issues with this helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Previous Article: Gmax HH-65 Review<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
