I have a big head and the large fit me well. The helmet breaths very well, I was no hotter than when I just wore a standard helemt without the face shield. it is light and comfortable. Fortunately I've not needed the face shield yet, but I push myself a little more becuase I feel so protected. And the comfort is amazing. A must have for any serious mountain biker.

Helmet Tips--You Should Always...

About Giro Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

Bell Bellistic Bike Helmet Review

Bell Bellistic Bike Helmet

I ride both mountain bikes and Motorcycles; and learned the hard-way that there is a big difference in helmet sizing depending on the intended use. For Motorcycles I need a 'medium' helmet for my average sized adult head... a size large motorcycle helmet fits loosely on my skull and is therefor not as safe.
This is why I originally ordered a 'Medium' Bell Bellistic bike helmet; only to have it arrive and cause my ears to burn while trying to put it on and take it off for the first time. The good news is that the return was easy and I was credited all but the $6.70 return S&H. I re-ordered the same helmet in the next size bigger and it too is pretty darn tight (considering it's a 'Large' and I don't have a 'Large' head). I decided to keep it rather than return the same product AGAIN for the same reason.
My next disappointment was on my inaugaral ride: the mouth protecting area of the helmet smelled strongly of the synthetic chemicals used in the production process and as I huffed and puffed up a hill every inhalation was laced with off-gassing chem's; seriously detracting from the enjoyment of my ride. I've left it out in the sun and rain and wind for about a week so it's probably "good to go" by now. My advice: Order 1 to 2 sizes bigger than you think you need, and let it breathe before you hit the trails.
