Default Beanie helmets
I have been looking at beanie helmets lately to maybe help with some wind buffeting issues. Who sells good ones?

They look nice, but are not DOT approved.

I have an Akoury AK-88 and its comfortable and low profile. Not sold on how much protection any half helmet provides, though.

two thumbs up on the akoury...light,low profile and no bobble head like my fulmer half helmet. Its very thin and most people i show it too are surprised it's dot approved. Did I mention the quick release strap? And all that for about 100 bucks. I am in no way affiliated with akoury or any of its distrubutors, just a happy customer.
