OK, I know this has been asked before, but not for a while and I'm hoping there is something new out there...
Right now I ride without a helmet. Yes, I know I should wear one at all times, but I really hate them and prefer not to. A buddy and I are planning to ride down to Daytona in Feb. for bike week and I will probably need a helmet for the states that require them. I figure if I find one I like I might even wear it around here a little more. I have tried a couple HD half helmets, an HJC and a couple other onesand I hated how they felt, the wind noise was horrible and they all sat too high on my head.
So here is what I need - a half or extended half helmet that is kind of low profile (so I don't look like a mushroom head and it keeps the wind noise down), light weight and one that will sit down on my head - not up high like a damn beanie. Any help would be appreciated and pictures would be great. Thanks, and Happy New Year!!!!

The most comfortable/least dorky looking I had was the THH T67, you can probably still find closeouts online. The replacement T69 looks like a WWII japanese infantry helmet! The T67 has an integrated tiny visor, most others have the snap-on which are much larger.

I've been looking for a smaller half helmet as well...I need a medium to large that will still fit in a hard bag. I have a HD half helmet for my daughter and that won't fit in the bag.

Here is a link to lightweight DOT approved carbon fiber helmets. Maybe this will fit your needs...

RE: Half helmet help.
I have a half carbon fiber helmet and like it for its fit and light weight. I ride without a windshield on my RK so it can get very noisy. The thing I hate is the buckel, it sucks bad. It is hard to attach and will slip causing the helmet to move back on your head.
