Bell Super Helmet
May 23.13 Posted in Commentary, Gear, New Arrivals, Reviews
We've just recieved a shipment of one of the coolest new helmets available!
Check out the video and come into the store to check out the hemlet!

Going for $170, the Super has a ton of features. The stock GoPro mount (removable) is just one of many... You can see that the Super provides extra protection above and around the ear. My intial impression was that this offered much more protection with the low back and sides covering a lot more surface area than your typical helmet. If you're looking for a bit more protection, this is your helmet!
We'll let the designers explain the rest!
