Low-Profile Helmets

I got a new helmet for christmas (Anon Raider) and I swear the foam is an inch and a half thick. I'm sure it offers wonderful protection but it makes me look like a bobblehead. Does anybody know of any thinner, lower-profile helmets that won't make my head look huge?

Also my head is 58 cm and i usually wear a medium.

Seems were in the same boat buddy, also got a anon helmet for christmas and it too makes me look like a bobble head, not to mention the gaper gap in-between my goggles caused by the excessive foam (i of course removed the helmet as fast as possible after measuring the gap at over 0cm wide), i know its removable but when i remove it the helmet becomes too big.

Bump, i need an answer to this too.

Bern helmets are good, i have the watts and i really like it. Definitely a lower profile especially if you take off the ear pads.

I just bought the smith maze and its a pretty killer helmet! Hella light and nice shape to it, hit up your local shop and try on park style helmets and see what feels best for your head.

POC / Pret is probably more what you're looking for. I have a HUGE head and I rock a Smith that I think looks fine, with just the head liner in there.




Honestly (and I'm sure ten thousand people will respond with the same message) just make sure it fits on your dome. Also, no one actually looks good in a helmet but its a lot better than being a vegetable, and it makes your mommy happy.

Good luck on your quest for steez.

Smith Maze for sure. Sooo thin and light, I barely even notice it tbh. I took all the foam out and just wear a beanie and my goggles underneath

You don't by any chance know if the Oakley Canopys fit well with the maze do you kind sir?

I bet they will because the iox fits well with it and they are similar size to canopy i believe...
Anyone kniw what the difference's are between maze and holt? Tried both on and they seem really similar.
