Helmet suggestions needed

[N_well23]

So I slammed my head on some ice tonight and had blurry vision for awhile afterwards and now my head hurts 'cause I wasn't wearing my helmet. The problem is that I hate my helmet. It feels big, heavy, uncomfortable, and bothersome. I currently have the RED trace helmet. I want a helmet that is fairly low profile, light, and something that I can easily wear my goggles underneath. any suggestions??

I dont know if this makes a difference but I want to be able to wear a beanie underneath the helmet also

giro shiv, giro encore, bern macon, bern baker and some pro-tec helmets have a low profile fit and won't make you look like you have a huge dome. check em out, but yeah i guess the best way is to go to your shop and try some on

how come poc's are shit? thought they were like UBER safe and stuff.Well i just got a poc receptor bug from my work and i have a bern baker.I think the baker is quite durable (but ist classified a an hard hat, i believe)its more low profile than the poc too but the ventilation is quite poor(dont care)

i have the bern watts. i think the only difference between the baker and watts is that the watts has air vents

 

[blackoutbill]

My baker gets pretty toasty. I go toque, goggles, helmet without the little pads inside. I think the watts is the baker with vents. I love my baker though, I just wish it was vented

i have one, with c bars, and a beanie under, it flys up cause of the brim. but with gogs over it is awesome.
i think over the summer i might try and use a dremmel to cut the brim off then sand it down and paint it or something.

giro g10 great helmet i love it

 

[frozenskier]

i have the solomon holt and it has been working out well for me and you could definetly fit your goggles underneath.

New SMITH MAZE is the lightest certified helmet ever made. Under 12oz. Feels like a beenie.

 

[DirtyMick]

I second this. I love mine.

 

[frozenskier]

schmies where did you get yours?

 

[N_well23]

That helmet looks sick and it sounds like it would be pretty comfortable. Doesnt look like it is for sale yet
