Default Helmet quetion

Im lookin for a new helmet for this summer, the one I have now is NOT DOT approved and Ive decided I want to get one that is. My problem is this, I went for the non DOT approved one in the first place because Im a thin dude, im 5'9 and about 150lbs I want a thin helmet, not one of these helmets that sticks out 2inchs on either side of my head, so my question is.....What is the thinnest DOT approved "skull cap" type helmet out there??

If you use the search feature (that's what it's there for)you'll find out 100 other people have asked that question and received answers...probably quicker than starting all over again...

I don't know if it's the thinnest but ACC is close. I just bought one from the helmet shop and they had it in stock.

I love how guys who ask questions...who are obviously new here, immediately see the STUPID side of this forum with comments like - use the Search Button. Just answer the guy's question and if you're sick of answering ~ don't open the friggin' thread.

BigE...finding a "thin" DOT helmet can be tough or easy. Easy is part with $200 and buy one of the ACC models that everyone here touts. OR drive yourself freakin' bonkers doing Google searches and sending lids back 'cuz they aren't what they looked like in the picture. Even harder yet...travel to all the dealers trying them on. Just my .01789 (adjusted for the crap market).

I find it funny that people buy helmets based on looks.

Then why did you?

Helmets are made to PROTECT YOUR HEAD, not for fashion.

Soory if I bring up a VALID point that you can not refute without attacking one of my hobbies.

Seriously, do you think you are the first guy to mention my action figures? Is that ALL you got? Or are you able to come up with a valid refute to my claims?

I'm waiting champ.
