Default Low Profile Helmets

For those of you that wear low profile helmets, what kind do you have? I've never really worn a helmet the past 3 years that I've had my sporty, but I kind of have an itch to start wearing one for next season. The half helmet I have now, aside from being old, it looks like a mushroom on my head, so I am looking into something that is low profile. I've seen ads for skull crush helmets, they look nice from the pictures. Any other recommendations?

I have 2 of them, flat black and natural chrome extended half shells. I love them, lightest most comfortable half lid I could find. I think I have a pic somewhere, will see if I can dig it up.

I just recently purchased a beanie lid from Skull Crush and although it's not DOT it's very well made (in the USA) and comfortable and solid unlike your usual made in China bendable novelty lid crap.

also got an Outlaw 'DOT' half helmet, very comy and fits great.
leatherup.com for the best prices.

Candy Root Beer from Skull Crush...


Outlaw 'Woody' w/vinyl wood grain 'Got Wood' lettering not apply yet?

FYI on the low pro Outlaws. They redesigned/reshaped them a couple months ago & they are nowhere near as non mushroomy as they used to be unless you can find some old stock.

Is that a good or a bad thing?
