All Bell Helmets are manufactured in China, they no longer contribute to the American worker by supporting US factory production & domestic wages. This is an email from the Consumer Services/Action Sports/Outdoor Products division of the company: “Thank you for your email. Our helmets are manufactured in China.”
BRG Sports is headquartered in Scotts Valley, California. They have over 30 facilities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Europe & Asia. Back in the 1950s Bell produced Race Car Helmets in the USA, today they only produce a limited amount of Bicycle and Skateboard Helmets here in America.
Only a few of the Bell Bicycle and Skateboard Helmets are produced in Rantoul, Illinois. If you wish to search and go to a store such as Walmart, Target, Kmart, Toys R Us, you will can find the “made in the USA” tags on them.
Unfortunately at this time we do not have, or cannot find a list of any of their “Made in the USA” Bike Helmets. They do not have a list or have a properly working “Made in USA” page on their website.
Feel free to call or email (see contact info. below) concerning replacement parts or any questions you may have concerning the procurement of USA made Bell products.
NOTE: Bell Helmets are made in several countries, always verify the product you wish to purchase is US made.

Any recommendations will be very appreciated
hi steven, did you have any succ ess getting your bell helmet re-padded

If your padding is attached inside the helmet by Velcro, then get some Velcro and a piece of leather. Check the Velcro to see which side you need to attach to the Velcro inside the helmet. Fit and glue the leather to that Velcro and let it dry about 24hrs.
So where do you buy your helmets now? For what its worth, Bell helmets suck regardless where they’re made.
