Default Half helmets

I am looking at getting a new half helmet. Been eyeing the Bell Drifter of Scorpion EXO. I want one that is low profile so I don't look like Kazoo from the Flintstones. Any suggestions are apprectiated.

I use one from HD. It looks fine to me but I am not too picky. I really only wanted one that fit in the side bag.

+1 for these guys! Product is top notch and customer service is hands down the best I have delt with in a long time! I actually bought two helmets from them after getting my first. No disappointments there!

Long as you dont live in NC this is the best helmet in my opinion in the market place. If you live in NC they require 1 inch foam. ACC helmets have 5/8 inch foam. GREAT HELMET though I promise you. Once NC gets with the program and allows all DOT legal helmet to be used I will use my ACC helmet again.
