Wearing a skate helmet with a beanie?

I'm in need of a new helmet and skate helmets are cheap and comfortable. I used to use one skiing but had to take some of the padding out. Should I buy the helmet big enough to wear over a beanie or should I buy it smaller and take out some of the padding? Any help is much appreciated.

Really the padding only helps fit it to your head, and doesnt actually provide any protection. Just take the padding out and wear a beanie underneath

I do this with the ski helmet I have now but if you take all the padding out of a skate helmet your left with just plastic.

Have you ever seen a skate helmet? There's only one helmet with which this is even remotely true (Protec Bucky Lasek), most helmets have that styrofoam-look-a-like-stuff.
