I'm looking for a thinner beanie to wear under my helmet because the one i have right now is too thick and it makes my helmet not fit. Does anybody know of a company that sells a thinner beanie that i could use for this? Thanks in advance.

I agree but rime beanies are real yarn and therefore get wet and hold in the moisture instead of drying out

I dont think thats right knits are usually pretty thick...
I wear an oakley one under my helmet http://www.oakley.com/products/clean-stretch-beanie/91267-279 but like others have said just go out to a ski store or walmart and just get a thin one. Or you could go baclava from like saga which are really thin.

I use this-> http://www.campmor.com/columbia-sportswear-omni-heat-backcountry-ride-beanie-hat.shtml Works awesome, you look like a cosmonaut when you have it on with out your helmet but it keeps me warm and doesn't bulk up anywhere.

You need to look at the more techie brands.

Not the coolest looking but these ones are water repellant and wind resistant. Plus flat seams make them real comfy under the helmet

These also should work if you don't wanna pay the shipping from Canada:
