RE: Helmet Advice
someone correct me if i am wrong but in order to get a DOT rating it requires to have a certain amount of padding as well as a certain thickness of the shell which give you the mushroom look.

RE: Helmet Advice
I've got a couple of Jafrum 1/2 shells for the Mrs. and I. They're DOT and liners are 3/4" thick and fit pretty slim, cheap too. Its not as thin or as light as one of the Carbon Fiber jobs but its not 3 times the price either (CF helmets start at $175)www.jafrum.com . Looked at others by Bell, HJC, Shoei etc. and all 1"-1.5" liner and sits tall on your head. www.dyatonahelmets.com also have a nice slim fit helmet, I'm getting ready to try one of their 3/4 myself.

RE: Helmet Advice
I bought mine from advanced carbon and they use 5/8 foam instead of 1 inch and I still look like a Q-TIP
