I'm sure that a few of you have gotten promos for the Bell Revolver modular helmet. I took the bait (at $99.00 with free shipping) and ordered one a while back. I finally got it last week. I wore it yesterday and did about
100 miles on the Multistrada.

I found it to be a VERY pleasant surprise. The fit for me was extremely good, the detailing was excellent. I did not use my usual ear buds or ear plugs on this ride but the noise level was quite low. I bought the Rally Black (gloss black with a tasteful white "rally stripe" down the middle.) I was only in the mid-60's yesterday so the ventilation went untested. The flip-up control is easy to use and very positive. The integrated sun visor is really cool when heading directly into a setting sun. A quick slide of the button and it dropped down to provide just the right amount of extra shielding. I was a perfect complement to the regular prescription, wraparound sun glasses I was wearing. I have not mounted the dark external visor I bought along with it yet. Both visors (inner and outer) are pre-treated with anti-fog. You are admonished not to use any aftermarket anti-fog.

It is NOT Snell approved (it is DOT) which I am very happy with. (I know the Snell vs. not-Snell debate can go on forever.)

This is my first modular helmet and I must say, unless there are hidden flaws, it will probably become my "go to" helmet in the future.
