Bell Nomad II Mips MTB Helmet

I've had several Bell helmets over the years. This new Bell Nomad 2 MTB helmet with MIPS does a great job of fitting well while adding safety refinements at a good price point. The side straps have good adjustability and the wheel at the back of the Bell Ergo Fit system allows for tightening to get the right fit. The Matt Gray looks good and is understated which works for me.I had to exchange my first Bell Nomad 2 helmet since I ordered the wrong size (Med/Large fits me) but Cambria was quick with the exchange and provided good communication throughout the process.

Excellent lightweight helmet. Light on the head and the wallet. Visor works well when riding into the sun, helmet breathes well also.

I have a fairly large head (7 1/2 hat size) and this fits fairly well, just not as well as my older helmetVisor is nice and big but can be a bit of an issue at higher speedsGood coverage and pretty good a weight for MIPS
While i did not own a helmet my wife has a helmet that she Periodically wears mostly when biking with her parents, who wear helmets. I am pretty sure it is the first helmet ever made. I actually think it is older than she is, possibly a hand me down from a much older sibling who likely never wore it. Not only is it heavy, it is a white hard shell with white foam interior and looks pretty dated and worn. When she wears it she did not have much to say good or bad. When we would ride just the two of us she almost never wears it.Occasionally when I would ride alone she would remind me that i was more than welcomed to wear her helmet. On several rides i did end up wearing it for some additional protection. It was actually nice peace of mind however it was of poor fit ... MoreWhile i did not own a helmet my wife has a helmet that she Periodically wears mostly when biking with her parents, who wear helmets.

On several rides i did end up wearing it for some additional protection. It was actually nice peace of mind however it was of poor fit and I was afraid all helmets would be similar.This past fall my wife noticed when I returned home from a ride i had her helmet and asked why i did not just buy one, adding that she would not expect me to wear it. I started looking and hound a nomad in red. I ordered the m/l. When it came i nervously tried it on. Finally i did, It had an awesome fit and i was happy with the number of vents and how light it was. Darn it is so well vented light and comfortable you dont even know you have it on.Yesterday we decided on an all day ride and i said that I would wear my new helmet of course my wife wore hers. Halfway through she asked ...no begged me to try my helmet . On several occasions she mentioned how nice it was compared to her ancient helmet. When we switched back she only wore her helmet briefly before announcing she wanted a new helmet too. Any questions just ask my wife.
I ride my bike often with my wife. The kids are grown so its just the two of us. We don't wear helmets but just enjoy the ride. The wife has owned a helmet but i never have. While cleaning the garage last summer I found my wifes old helmet and put it with the bike stuff. It sat there unmoved until a last week when i was getting ready to take a ride by myself, the wife handed me the helmet and commented "you should wear this, its wet and slippery out." I thought she was joking until she put it on me. Not wanting a fuss I decided to just wear it and off i went. Halfway through the ride i hit a big pile of wet leaves and went down hitting my head. I spent the rest of the ride looking at everyone else's helmets. As soon as i got home i went on line and bought a belll ... MoreI ride my bike often with my wife.

My wife is surprised that i wear a helmet now but let me tell you the fit is superd and i would rather not hit my head
As a nurse I naturally worry about my husband's and my own well being. I grew up with out a helmet and have just never gotten into wearing one. However when we ride I insist we wear ballcaps to protect against the sun. My husband likes to ride alone and of course i worry about him while he is riding by himself. I always make sure he is wearing his hat a bright shirt Has plenty of water a snack and tell him to be careful. Recently I bought him a bell nomad helmet since i heel like he can sometimes be a but of a risk taker. He seemed annoyed when i told him and added that he hoped that i got one for myself, i did not since i am a very safe and slow rider. The other day when he left i gave him the normal sendoff talk and he said yeah yeah. I was outside when he ... MoreAs a nurse I naturally worry about my husband's and my own well being.

He seemed annoyed when i told him and added that he hoped that i got one for myself, i did not since i am a very safe and slow rider. The other day when he left i gave him the normal sendoff talk and he said yeah yeah. I was outside when he returned and was shocked and excited that he was wearing the helmet. i had secretly been wishing he would wear a helmet. Afterwards I asked him what made him wear it and what he thought of the helmet he told me he figured he might as well try it since it was there and he was often going 25 mph. He also added the helmet was really nice and it made him feel safe. A few days later I tried it on and took a short ride in the neighborhood and did not get a headache and it was light and airy. I am not a fan of the red but will get myself a helmet now as well.
Any time we go for a bike ride my husband always slips on a helmet while I always wear a ball cap. Recently I found I was with child and decided it would be prudent to wear a helmet. Since my husband has several helmets I decided to try one of his. He suggested the bell nomad. It fits way better than the helmet i had in 2005 (as a teen). It felt like it cradled my head. We went on a long ride that day and honestly I thought i was going to hate wearing a helmet as i always a ball cap. However just the opposite the helmet was great.
Had a surprise OTB moment, and got thrown into some rocks and landed on my side with my head hitting some sharp edged rocks just behind my ear. The helmet covered the area well and protected me from any injury. The helmet got fairly dented where the impact happened so I was happy to replace it with the same one that worked so well.
