wassup guys, i'm looking to buy a new helmet for next season. I'm looking for one that doesn't make my head look like a freaking bowling ball, like the past two i've had. I currently have the giro revolver (i think?) it has a sort of brim on the front, it looks dumb, and makes my head look huge. Does anyone know of a good helmet that is somewhat smaller and without a brim on the front? thanks

POC receptor bug. Best looking and most protective helmet you can buy imo.

+1 for the poc, comfy, clean lines, no brim and stylish. A little on the heavy side. Also check out the giro shiv, people seem to lime them.

I've always ridden a giro shiv. Not as light as a smith maze but still bloody light. Clean lines and no brim

depends so much on the shape of your noggin! try on as many as you can before you buy.

i have a ridiculous shaped head, something between watermelon and oversized bell pepper, and found that the only helmet that was really comfortable for me was an XL bern macon (cant spell).

moral of the story, just go try stuff on and get something comfortable. Then wear it and dont kill your head.

I had the holt for 2 years so far and it's amazing. Held up well considering it's not the most expensive helmet. Hope this helps.If you have any other questions pm me.
