Small and compact helmets

Anyone know what the smallest/thinnest helmet is? I hate the look of helmets to be honest but I’m not trying to crack my dome and miss skiing for 3 weeks. I’m currently repping a Giro Ledge but I just hate how damn big it is, feels like I have a damn basketball on my head.


ive also thought about skate helmets, anyone know if those are any more compact than ski helmets?

thanks.

Motorcycle half helmets, they seem to be pretty compact and I can bet you they’ll protect your dome🤝.

Been using sandbox helmets for 11 years now. They're pretty low profile, lightweight, and imo they look dope. I've had 2 and they both protected my brain compartment multiple times on heavy slams.
Thats my recommendation based on my experience.

I like how sandbox helmets look in the front but in my opinion they look weird cuz they ramp up more to the back of the head

I think the protec skate version pro classic helmets look nice.. not snow rated but I’m sure it would still help a lot on impact vs nothing

I got a pret from a few seasons ago. Super nice. Easy to take the ear muffs in and out and works good with my googles under. The new ones have a weird graphic but nice helmets still.

Ehhh probably not these helmets somehow make heavy impacts not hurt at all for me. Soft shell helmets technically aren’t safe at all but are cheap as hell.
