Like so many things, including all American brands like Apple computers and Bell Helmets, it is made in China. So i assume that O'Neal helmets are also made in China. But by the look of it, O'Neal make some beautiful MX helmets. But is it any good? Does someone has experience, good or bad with O'Neal helmets? And the same for Bell helmets, as Bell make some beautiful Husqvarna helmets (= Bell Moto 9 mips), yet twice as expensive as the the most expensive O'Neal helmet. And i know Bell is made in China nowadays. Any experience on Bell Moto 9 or Bell in general? How does it fit according to the given size, are they a little to large or a little to small or exactly to the given size? Do they keep their shape well, inside / outside? Easy to clean or a drama? Do they feel like a well build, well designed quality helmet? How do they stay at the longer use, do they become floppy, discolor, deform, filthy and hard to clean, etc, etc? Questions like this, for both brands.
I have a 9 mips, love it, generally easy to clean, reasonably light and holds shape very well bought mine when they first came out, didn't know it was made in asia, but at this point won't be completely surprised
I like the bell also. some helmets, like the shoei have longer cheek pads that push in my cheeks. I end up biting the inside of my cheeks. the bell cheek pads end shorter
