What kind of helmet do you look for if you are looking for one that doesn't have a 2" padded foam inside, that makes you look like a mushroom on a Harley. I have searched low profile and everything I could think of. Actually bought 2 but same ole thing. Frustrating.

thanx

Helmets get a lot of debate all over HDF, so chose your model of bike and look in that section. As for padding, it's there to protect your head in the case of an accident! Your call.......

Found Outlaw slims mentioned elsewhere, but they also said the helmet doesn't meet DOT. Indiana doesn't require one. A lot of riders here go without. I wear one and it does look like a bubble head. I know 2 people who would be dead, two more who were in a coma and one who suffered permanent brain damage. Personal choice: I choose to wear a helmet.

Get a bigger head...

Seriously, who cares what you look like on a bike, as long as it's DOT approved - it's safe. No-one's going to judge you on looks while riding...you'll still get waves too...
