Need Helmet suggestions.

I just started road bike cycling and currently have an older Giro
helmet which I believe is fashionably questionable. It fits ok but it
looks so much like I'm balancing a watermelon on my noggin. Any ideas
on helmets that don't ride so high? Thanks for stopping by.

Is the helmet too small for you? There shouldn't be any free space
between the top of your head and the inside of the helmet.

Style is a personal issue. Visit a bike shop and decide for yourself.

I like Bell's Metro helmet. You can get insulation, a covering, and ear
flaps which you can use in the winter. But then it looks like you live in
Florida...

Just tell people that you have a second small head growing out
of the main one.

I'm using a Bell Influx currently, which is the best helmet I've ever
owned. Huge vents, great for keeping cool. Need to wear a skullcap in
the cooler season, though.

I agree, the Bell Metro is really nice. The rain cover, insulation and ear
flaps are really nice (I use them all up here in winter), the clip for a
blinkie light is really nice (I've become obsessed with being visible when I
commute at night), and you can get a sun shade too.

I always wear a bandanna, which also covers the whole head. When it's
cold it keeps my head warmer, and when I sweat it wicks it away from my
eyes. Even in the coldest weather I sweat enough for that to be a problem
when I push it.
