Bell Drifters are junk in my opinion. I had the OD green one...unless you have a beach ball for a head it won't fit right. Plus it had very little padding and the straps are way too short. It looks cool, but I gave mine away after a few months.

I couldn't even give mine away I tried it was too big for his small Swedish head, it still is sitting in the box never rode with it, very uncomfortable a definite choker it makes a nice deco item though.

I have 3 helmets that I am happy with. I have a H-D moudular that I use when it's freezing, raining, hailing etc etc. I have a Head Trip DoT extended half for work (have to wear DoT approved when test riding). The last one is the Head Trip non-DoT polo which I wear the rest of the time. Impressed with all 3. The modular is the first full I have found that really fits me well and the quality and lightweight of the Head Trip lids are top notch.
