If I get a new helmet I'll probably keep wearing the hi-fi. So light and sometimes it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing a helmet.

Smith makes some pretty sweet helmets. The holt helmet is my favorite, and it comes in some really dope color schemes. http://www.smithoptics.com/Holt_72_663.html
The variant is also a pretty cool helmet, and it's super comfy, there is an option for a brim attachment as well. Without brim http://www.smithoptics.com/Variant_72_659.html
With brim http://www.smithoptics.com/Variant-Brim_72_658.html
There is another helmet called the hustle. I am not too into the way the hustle looks personally, but her it is again. http://www.smithoptics.com/Hustle_72_661.html

Go smith they are the best out there and they have a bunch of cool designs as well as colors. Smith helmets are also the only helmets that have a perfect air flow form the goggle to helmet.

Check out their selection

The new Smith Hustle looks pretty sweet. I think I'm either getting that or the G10 MX. I'd love to get a sweet trooper but they are just so hard to find as well as being expensive.

Oh and the Smith TLD D2 looks awesome too.
