Default German Helmets

I haven't been able to find a DOT German Helmet that sits low, and doesn't look like a mushroom head. Does anyone know if they're out there somewhere??

They don't exist. Dot = equals huge helmet.

Since others have been candid, I will too. Try some Japanese brands like Arai or Shoei, they actually do something positive.

Not true if your looking for a 1/2 helmet look into Akoury

Here is the deal. There is no such thing as a DOT that looks like a Novelty. It's one or the other. Although some are a little better (see Daytona 3/4 vs HD 3/4), a DOT is always going to sit higher and look uglier.

The best helmet manufacturer for lower profile DOTs is Daytona. Their novelties are also awesome.
