Bell RS-1 Gearhead Helmets The Bell RS-1 Gearhead Helmet comes in either a red/black or black/white color scheme. Regardless of the color you choose, the graphic on this lid has depth and detail and a high level of reflectivity. Part of the Bell RS-1 Helmet line, the Gearhead bridges the gap between the top-of-the-line Bell Star and the value-minded Vortex with an amazing blend of mid-line price and high-end performance. The shell is a lightweight Kevlar/fiberglass composite making this helmet lighter than both the Star and the Vortex. The fit is a race fit, so more snug but still very comfortable due to the Contour Cut Cheekpads and a plush, removable, washable liner. Packed with features, its one great helmet at a modest price.

Has Bell resolved the leaking seal between the helmet and the faceshield?

I have read that the Bell RS-1 seal around the eye port does not completely seal the gap between the faceshield and the helmet allowing water to leak inside the helmet, has Bell fixed this issue?
Actually, I do have the leaking problem. Perhaps it's limited to the Large and X-Large sizes? I'm going to try to adjust the fit of the shield using the screws, as another RS-1 owner suggested. I haven't found the helmet to be very quiet either, and most of the noise seems to eminatate from the top of the visor, so hopefully the adjustment will address that issue too.
