Looking for a low profile helmet

[Daves not here]

I thought I saw this Here before - searched but could not find it.

I have a Giro now and it makes me look like I am part of the Mario brothers clan. Looking for a lower profile helmet.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Giro Range is pretty low-profile. I bought one a couple weeks ago. The shell adjusts with the internal ratchet so that the entire helmet gets smaller when you tighten it. It fits really well on my head, but maybe that's just me working well with a certain brand -- I also really like Giro cycling helmets. The only downside is that it certainly isn't cheap, $240 for the MIPS model. But for that money you get a really great fit, the MIPS stuff, and a nifty magnetic buckle that requires zero effort, even with gloves on.

Yup, Giro did a real good job with this helmet, it is about as low profile as I have had on.

Any others you are aware of? I have been looking at Scott Symbol and Prett as well.

I have a Sweet Protection Grimner helmet on the way, I'll report in when it arrives.

My Smith Maze is light and super low profile. Zero frills. You can get them much cheaper than $100.

Scott helmets are for sure as are the Salomon Prophet's.
