My head measures 59 cm which calls for a size Large, and this helmet fits me perfectly. Some websites selling this helmet suggest ordering one size up as they said it runs small were incorrect for the Apex version. My head is an intermediate oval in its shape also, which this helmet is also supposed to be Nice quality for the money, and the interior seems of very nice quality, nice stitching and colors. No venting, but being white with silver, gray stripes, and open face, it should be fine at least where I live, highs in low 90's mid summer, near Lake Erie, in Pennsylvania I will buy a flip up face shield for it now that I know it fits well. Many varieties of shields for this Bell helmet. Maybe a pair of goggles also. I usually wear full face helmets, but recently acquired a small adventure motorcycle where this helmet will be perfect !!! Only slightly negative is the thick padding on either side of my jaw is pushing in just a little too much being brand new, and am sure it will relax a bit from wearing it. I look at that as a good thing, having a snug fit means safer in the event of an accident, and after all, why some of us choose to wear a helmet in the first place, right ? A "just in case" insurance policy. Shipping was amazingly fast, I was pleasantly surprised I got it so quickly, so hats off to the seller !!! Review: Bell helmet extra large - The Bell helmet is well made. I have only one complaint. The size. My head is 7 3/8. The helmet is an extra large and it is very tight. The extra large was supposed to cover my head size. However it does not. I don’t think I will ever buy another helmet online. With this said I would still recommend bell helmets. ## Features - Polyester - Imported - IONIC+ PADDING β€” Quick-drying interior padding helps manage sweat while fighting odor-causing bacteria. - FIBERGLASS COMPOSITE SHELL β€” Industry leading Fiberglass construction. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HLUW67W | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,275 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #146 in Motorcycle & Powersports Helmets | | Brand Name | BELL | | Certificate Type | DOT | | Color | Gloss Vintage White | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Motorcycle | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (875) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00768686515231 | | Included Components | Helmet | | Item Type Name | Custom 500 | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Vista Outdoor Sales LLC | | Material Type | Polycarbonate (PC) | | Model Number | 7049174 | | Shape | Round | | Shell Type | Hard | | Specification Met | DOT | | Sport Type | Motorcycling | | UPC | 768686515231 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BELL - **Color:** Gloss Vintage White - **Item Weight:** 3 Pounds - **Material:** Polycarbonate (PC) - **Vehicle Service Type:** Motorcycle ## Images ![Helmets Custom 500 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vqHpayjqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How well does this helmet work with prescription glasses? too snug at temples, etc.?** A: I wear mine with prescription glasses everyday and it’s been fine.

I have only one complaint. The size. My head is 7 3/8. The helmet is an extra large and it is very tight. The extra large was supposed to cover my head size. However it does not. I don’t think I will ever buy another helmet online. With this said I would still recommend bell helmets. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Retro Protection *by R***B on January 11, 2022* Always wear protection. ALWAYS. This helmet is great. The style is spot on. I don't have a lot of experience with motorcycle helmets and the way they fit, but this one doesn't seem bulky at all. It can be a little cumbersome to get over your ears if you ride with earphones in, but once in, the ear pockets are roomy. The helmet itself feels very solid, too. I can Naruto run into a brick wall with this thing on and not feel a thing. Not that I have, but I know I could. I wish the button snap on the chin strap was a bit more secure so you could hold that while walking with it, but other than that, it's perfectly manufactured and quite comfortable (not too hot either!). Now I'm off to jump 15 buses. That's actually one more than Evel Knievel jumped. I know. I checked. Online. Stay legit. ## Frequently Bought Together - BELL Custom 500 Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet (Gloss Vintage White - Small) - Bell Helmets Custom 500 510 Visor Street Motorcycle Helmet Accessories - Black/One Size - 2028917 - Bell Custom 500 3-Snap Peak 520 Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/12760516-helmets-custom-500](https://www.desertcart.de/products/12760516-helmets-custom-500) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
