Default Low profile helmets
I am looking for a low profile lightweight helmet. I have purchased a few helmets in the past and the last I bought was a skid lid, which my wife said I looked like gazoo from the flintstones with it on. and actually that's pretty accurate. Currently I wear a Harley hybrid helmet which isn't the most comfortable but I feel compelled to wear it based on what a payed for it. I have looked at carbon fiber helmets but I just wanted some input before adding to my helmet collection.

Hello, I don't know much about helmets except what the sales people tell me.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome from AZ :-) I don't wear my helmet. It's a nice HD helmet and I don't want to scratch it.
