You didn't mention the shape of your head.

I bought a fiberglass OUTLAW half helm and it is DOT approved, I got it from a dealer at the swap meet but I'm sure if you Google it you'll find it.. zero mushroom look! it is the slimiest one on the market and is still DOT

Sorry & I know you already highlighted, but if it's non-DOT then might as well go au-natural...

Thanks for the worthless reply. If you had read my post, you would have seen that this has nothing to do with being a GQ fashion model. This is about keeping the lady happy and feeling safe. My personal taste is I dont like the mushroom head look, and I do choose to ride with no bucket. But again, if the lady would feel better/safer wearing one on the highway when riding together, than Im more than happy to provide that. Simply just looking for some useful input on suggestions which many others have provided. Thanks guys.

Yup. How folks look on and off their bike... style is very important to some.

If you want good advice, without smart *** remarks, you should avoid forums and ask friends instead.

Most folks have a buddy or two to ask. Try on several helmets with a friend present, they'll give you better feedback.
