Any skate style helmet dude... just go into a shop and try some on. Or just be john spriggs and not give a fuck about how "dope" your helmet is.

If you are getting a helmet with "standard" technologies, it just comes down to looks and price, the protection you get will pretty much be the same across the board. I recommend the Smith Holt personally, clean-looking and pretty cheap. Got mine off of Amazon Warehouse for $12 brand new.

i find the smith holt fugly. and poc helemts are too big. best bet is a sandbox that looks like a skate helmet try and get the smallest helmet that fits withought the extra padding.. im still looking for a good looking helmet, that you can wear with sunglasses..

Giro Combyn is sick and has a soft shell and Giro Surface S is great if you don't want to spend as much.

Go to a ski store or REI and try some on. Get whatever is most comfortable. Bring your goggles and try them with the helmet, make sure they fit well together. Not all goggles work well with all helmets.

This. The only way top know what helmet will work for you is to try them on. Like ski boots you need to buy helmets from a shop not online.
