Default Which is the best Low Profile 3/4 helmet?

Ive been looking for a while now. ive ordered a few 3/4 helmets and am just not happy with the way they make me look like the great kazoo. Anyone know where to get a good, DOT certified 3/4 helmet that is low profile? Yeah i know, its the DOT certified part that screws it all up!! LOL Thanks.

Not sure how low profile it is, but my wife and I both have (among other helmets) the Nolan N44 (they also they the updated N45). Very flexible and light with a relatively unique and big feature set. For what it is, I think it is an excellent choice.

I wore 3/4 helmets for many years on motors. None better than Shoei RJ Air. It might be called RJ Platinum now. But I'm sure I looked like a great kazoo. Better than looking like a veggie.

I have a Bell 500, Biltwell Bonanza, and a Daytona 3/4. For me the Daytona gives me the least amount of the Great Gazoo effect. The other 2 are a little higher quality, but I wear the Daytona 99% of the time.

If it's the Shoei I'm thinking of, it's a nice helmet. My gripes are price (pushing $500) and the screen doesn't have multiple detents.
