Default Current helmet?

Interested to know what specific helmets everyone is using. I am presently shopping around for a helmet and it would be helpful to get some outside input. I looked at practically every style from full to 1/2, from flip-ups to modular: that convert from full to 3 quarter. ex. Shark Evoline.

I don't have a big head or frame for that matter so I tend to look like a lollipop, that's my biggest issue.

I have the same problem I wear a 6 7/8 hat
and I do not like looking like the little space guy
on the flintstones that is why I bought the Classic
M 3/4 helmet from ARAI . It is dot and snell approved
and uses the 5 snap face sheilds "you can replace
those for under 10.00 when they get all scrached up"

I have the Vega XTS, which i paid $60 for at the local HD dealership. I'm very happy with it.
