I am looking for a helmet that I can still where a beanie underneath.  Any suggestions?  Or should I just go with out the beanie?  Never worn a helmet before but after some hard falls last year time to get one.

Will it be too hot with a beanie?  I was looking at the smith holt or the smith hustle.  Any other suggestions with same type of style?  Also want the color to be black with a little red or is it easy to customize your helmet?

Wearing anything under the helmet actually lowers its ability to protect your head. A proper helmet should be nice and snug fit, to the point you can hang your head upside down without the strap and it should stay on.
