BELLMag-9 Urban Helmets
Z**C
The sizing is way off
If I go by the measuring guide, I should wear a large. I purchased an x-large and although it fit, it was too tight in the cheek area. I sent it back and got a xx-large and it seems to fit very well.I do like the overhead visor on top. Really helps block the sun. The sunshade that is built in is nice, but very hard to to put down since it is spring loaded. They should have made the spring tension a little more easier to engage. Overall I am happy with the helmet and do recommend it.

Fits perfectly.
I'm another in between size person. 23 1/2 L-XL. I went with XL but is was way too loose. Had to send back and get the L which fits perfectly. Its snug, the way it should be, but you forget it's on after a while. My last helmet reminded me after about 30 minutes that its too tight (M). Actually started to hurt on the forehead a bit.I ordered a Sena10S to mount to this but it will not install on the helmet correctly without the S10 to Mag9 Adapter (10S-A0302). For now, I have to use the sticky back helmet mount with which it came.

Good helmet, cheaply built
I've always liked Bell helmets. My dad manufactured the first Bell Star faceplate molds back in 1966-'67. Even though the company has gone through a couple of corporate changes, Bell helmets are still good. I purchased this Mag-9 because I like the 3/4/Jet helmet design. I haven't made the jump to the intercom Bluetooth communication systems yet, so can't comment on that feature of the Mag-9. My head measures 59.5cm (23 1/4-23 1/2") and is a medium oval shape. As I fell right in between L and XL, I ordered the XL size and it fit perfectly. The cheek pads were a little tight, but Bell has less thick cheek pads in stock, not like Shoei's cheek pads that are ALWAYS back-ordered, so I figured I'd just order a set of those as the rest of the helmet was fitting just right. Unfortunately, when I opened the box, the peak visor and the sun visor control were sitting loose in the box. They were easily attached as they have plastic bosses molded into them that easily push into mounting points on the helmet. The sun visor control pushes in over its square mounting point. The main clear visor and the drop-down sun visor are optically perfect. On the road, the helmet is noisy, a little noisier than my LS2 3/4 helmet, and way noisier than my Shoei. We are riding motorcycles, though, so . . . The venting is excellent, way better than my LS2 or Shoei helmets. The drop-down sun visor is a bit difficult to engage, but it pops up quickly with a bang and actually works well once you get used to it. The problem I encountered was the peak visor kept popping out, just like it arrived in the box, taking the drop-down visor's control with it. If this hadn't happened, I'd have kept this helmet. The Mag-9 is a good design that is just a little bit cheaply built.

Good Helmet
I love Bell helmets and the Mag-9 is quality. I have been wearing one for several years. It's comfortable and looks good. I prefer a 3/4 helmet to full face, and this one gives plenty of ventilation and visibility.

Disproportionally tight around the ears.
Well made and stylish. 2X helmet was big enough otherwise but painfully tight on the ears. Built in blue tooth earbud compartment is a plus if you plan to use it but perhaps a minus if you don't. Had to return.

Very comfortable
I needed a helmet that was more comfortable when wearing my Sena Bluetooth/camera. Typically I wear an x/small. But I ordered a small. It fits perfectly, even with the ear headset installed. I have never had a helmet with cheeks pads. Always preferred the 3/4 or 1/2 helmet without them.

as it works great for my wife
Don't know why this helmet is titled "Mens", as it works great for my wife. I also have this model (in flat black) w/ the SENA 10 clamp kit. I had to go elsewhere to get her the clamp kit (mic, speakers, bracket) that is specific to this helmet and sold (labeled) thru Bell. An extra $40, but I knew this going in. Installing the clamp kit is a piece of cake. We had the SENA 10 system installed on our closed face helmets, but wanted this system on the open face/ 3/4 helmets for warm weather riding. We ride 2-up and use this system only as a wire-free intercom, so I have no idea how it works for bike-to-bike comm. The SENA 10 units clip right off one helmet and snap on to the other. Real easy. I got the size M for myself and also for the little woman. My head measures just on the lower range for M, and her's is even a bit smaller, but she said she wouldn't want anything smaller (she had size S helmets before that she wasn't too fond of the fit). The "D-rings" and strap are very easy to work - thread, tighten, and snap. The hood piece is out of eye range, so it's useless as a sunblock. More of a style thing, I think. It can be removed, but I don't think it changes the wind noise level (we ride behind a full fairing). The 2 vent inlets don't allow any "felt" breeze thru, w/ or w/o the hood. Also, no change of noise level, vents opened or closed (behind my big fairing/ windshield. You may be able to feel some breeze on an open m/c, but I don't know. The dark shade is just a touch darker than some other helmets' drop-down sun visor. Still, it could be darker. It also should come down a bit more as it's easy to see bright light while looking down. The clear shield can be flipped up to use just the dark shield, or no shield at all w/ just a pair of glasses. The price is a bit higher than it should be for this Chinese made helmet. Also, Bell doesn't allow retailers to lower the price on current model helmets. If so, I think this Mag-9 Sena would be around $100-$120

Great helmet!
We ordered this helmet and it was too small. I thought this is going to be a night mare to return...Wrong. The whole experience was great one, even though it didn't fit. LOL

If only it wasn’t noisy.
Good value for the money.Less weight and less wind noise will make it a great helmet .
