Bell Z20 MIPS women’s helmet

Bell’s Z20 is so abundantly vented you might suffer from brain freeze if the temps dip below 45 degrees.

But in hot weather, this airy helmet is a fine choice. The Float Fit Race harness offers more than enough adjustability to accommodate all head shapes and sizes, and the No-Twist Tri-Glide fasteners keep the straps flush and comfortable.

Despite the 18 vents, the Z20 is fairly heavy.

But Bell’s progressive layering system, with two layers of hard-shelled EPS foam, is a solid trade-off for the added weight.
