I was hoping for some insight on what helmets are most popular. I have always worn novelty but looking for a DOT that doesn't make my already big head look like a mushroom. I was looking at skid lid or zog old school. Have not found any local shops that carry these so I could try one on. Any help would be great!

 

I have this helmet. It's pricey, but worth it to me. http://www.carbonfiberhelmets.com/
I did a search, and found some to like the vega xts http://www.vegahelmet.com/
Check out your local cycle store. My local Yah, Kaw, and Suzuki store sells these vegas.

 

Hi Sake,go for Asaign.com.Great quality and you can choose your colours !

 

The best thing to do is to try all the models on that you can and get the one that fits your head shape and SIZE

 

If you ride sans windshield the cabonfiber.con DOT is the best I have found
very light and nearly no lift.
I get a little above 70MPH but it is nothing like other half helmets I have had, hardly notice it lift and no head pull.

 

I recently purchased a Carbon Fiber DOT. After about 500 miles, I am very happy with it. No ride up at 65-70 mph for me.

It took a few tries to get it to fit right but after a few rides, I even forgot I have a helmet on after a few miles whereas the fiberglass ones always seemed heavy on long trips.

 

A friend of mine told me about the Davida 91.Trouble is they have stopped making them.I got lucky and found one on ebay and it fits just right. Good hunting.
