Default Finding the right helmet?

So being this is my first bike and I dont know to much about where exactly to get my gear I figured I would ask. I have a novilty helmet right now, but for longer rides I would like something that is DOT approved. My only concern is I dont like the way the half helmets sit so far off my head. With the couple I tired on at the local dealer they look like mushroom caps. Can someone recommend a specific brand that is DOT approved, and is still low profile......thanks!

Nick

I just bought a new helmet a few weeks ago...Fulmer. Matte Black finish. I like it a lot more than some other half helmets. Doesn't seem to get too caught up in the wind. Oh yeah and it's DOT too

Default RE: Finding the right helmet?

Best thing to do is get onGOOGLE and find some lids that interest you and note the prices. Then, find a Helmet shop near you and get down there to try them on. There's a lot of variance in sizes & shapes. If u find a lid that fits & theprice is right pick it up...Otherwise get back on the net and find it for cheaper. Worst thing ucould do is buy online blind. I was really interested in Modular helmets - luckily for me there's a place only a few miles away w/ a wide selection. I found out that every damn Modular was tight in the chin area.That trip to the store saved me $$$andthe hassle of dealing with some of the online store return policies. Good Luck!
