Choosing between a full open-face shell and a compact half helmet comes down to how much coverage you want and what you're willing to spend. The Bell Magnum Open Face Motorcycle Helmet in Orange and the Beanie Motorcycle Helmet Half Helmet Retro Men Women Open Face Scooter Skull Cap take very different approaches at very different listed prices. Both are new with tags and sized for unisex adults.
Quick Verdict
Pick the Bell Magnum if you want a fuller open-face shell with added features and the option to add shields or visors. Pick the Beanie half helmet if you want a low-profile, lightweight shell at a lower listed price.

Product Notes
Bell Magnum Open Face Motorcycle Helmet Orange
If open-face riding with a more substantial shell appeals to you, this Bell model is the one to consider. It comes in orange and is sized M (Medium). The Magnum's design leans into 1970s-80s open-face style with a terry cloth interior, leather chin strap, and D-ring closure. An integrated 3-snap pattern supports OEM shields and visors, making it easy to adapt the helmet for daily riding conditions. If you want to run a shield or visor on brighter days, the snap pattern is the feature that makes that possible. The Magnum is categorized for street performance and carries DOT/ECE22.06 certification. It also carries a California Prop 65 warning. The main trade-off is a higher listed price than the Beanie, along with the M (Medium) size specified for this listing.
Beanie Motorcycle Helmet Half Helmet Retro Men Women Open Face Scooter Skull Cap
The Beanie is the half-shell option here, with a low-profile shell and adjustable sizing. Its matte black finish and black color give it a subdued look, and the style is described as a beanie skull cap. The shell includes a high-density sponge layer and is designed for all-season use. This is a smaller design that prioritizes a minimal look and lighter feel. If you're after a low-profile open-face helmet for scooter or ATV duty, the Beanie keeps things simple. It's a straightforward shell for riders who prefer fewer components and a minimal look. The trade-off is a half-shell profile rather than the fuller open-face coverage of the Magnum.
Final Choice by Use Case
- For scooter or casual riding: Beanie half helmet.
- For street riding with open-face coverage and a vintage feel: Bell Magnum.
