[Closed] Bell Stoker helmets

I have one, fit is good, cooling is good, looks are good.

I hit mine on a heafty low hanging branch and cracked the shell a little bit but otherwise a year of trouble free use.

I think the green is a little bright now for my tastes but i will put up with it for now.

I paid £50

You missed the great £17 Bell Stoker Halfrauds helmet giveaway bonanza, where we all bought one?

They look a bit like this if you go for the green:

I find mine to be uber-comfy compared to my Giro Hex. Not the best ventilated thing in the world, but not the worst.

. Not the best ventilated thing in the world, but not the worst.

Fit like any other Bell. On trend flouro. Poorly ventilated. Relatively heavy.

I have both a 17 quid Halfords Stoker and a Bell Super, and the Super is far better quality. I'd say 35 quid would be a more realistic rrp for the Stoker than 60.

Lol my super makes it rain in front of my face on hot days...

Above 23 I'm using the road lid binners, I need to be going silly or want the go pro on to take it out. It replaced a fox striker which was awesome but 14 days in I knocked myself out and binned it.

I bought one thanks to the PSA here. I really like it

I saw one in Halfords for a tenner and almost bought another as a spare, but that seems a bit extreme as I find Helmets seem to last for a while

both my kids have them, they're really good imo

Action shots with said Helmet, may or may not affect your performance.

Never mind the action shots, I think we need to applaud the shorts/helmet/bits of bike co-ordination you've got going on there 😀

Some points will however be deducted for the gloves in the top pic though

Actually thinking I dont like the helmet anymore cos of those gloves. I may actually give up mtb'ing.

Me in mine.

Looking cooler than a penguin's backside.

Apologies for the gloves.

So it's basically a lid that makes you look like you have eaten been stoking engines rather than getting stoked?

I had one until it broke in half. I wasn't too disappointed as I didn't like the green that much, but it was a decent enough helmet. I prefer the 7idp which I replaced it with.

i've got one. virtually identical to the giro feature.

I bought one for £17 in the Halfords sale earlier this year.

I don't find it as comfortable as the Giro Xen it will eventually replace. On the inside the polystyrene is a bit pointy where it touches your head, as opposed to being flat on the Xen. This puts more pressure on the contact points and presses on veins in my temples.

I have made it a bit more comfortable by shaving down the points with a scalpel but I need to do some more before it becomes really comfy.

Does anyone know if they work well with an exposure helmet mount? I have a Diablo but the vents on my helmet are not the best with the mount.

Work fine with an Exposure mount IME. You may need to use a longer lanyard, but other than that fine.

Thanks for that - might get one!

Works perfectly with my Diablo
