I bought my Bell M2 when they were Kevlar, and I agree they are great for
those of us who wear glasses. Bell replaced the M2 with the M3, which was
much more costly than the M2. There was enough of a demand for Bell to
re-introduce the M2. However, they only re-introduced the fiberglass
version.

I might also suggest that it may be worth a few extra $$$ to buy your helmet
from a place where you can try it on. I was able to go into DRE/Wrep
Industries in Streamwood, IL when I was shopping for my helmet. They weren't
the lowest priced, but they were close and they had the M2 in stock. I felt
it was worth a few extra bucks to get a good fit.

No Financial Interest.
