Bought it on line without trying it on, just went by my previous helment size fit was fine, haven't riden with it yet, I feel the chin strap is very un-comfortable if you have to strap it on tight in order to keep it from lifting.

Perhaps you meant "bowls"?

I bought one when I bought my bike, and I do not like it at all.  It's very uncomfortable and the chin strap cuts into the skin.  I switched to a fulmer helmet, and love it.  No lift and very comfortable.

I read a few reviews regarding the Bell Drifter.  Common words used are: uncomfortable, Mushroom head, lifts at highway speeds...

I bought a Vega XTS (DOT) and love it.  Fits well, light weight, no lifting and I don't have the dreaded Mushroon head.

i got a bell drifter too they call it drifter cause your head drifts left to right so bad at hwy speeds that you would want to throw it off into the ditch and risk getting a ticket for not wearing a helmut instead!
