    Flattering Helmets for Women with Small Heads?

    Hello Ladies,

    I'm wondering if anyone out there has any recommendations for a women's MTB-type helmet that looks good on small heads... really I'm not vain, I just want something that doesn't look like an overwhelming marshmallow on top of my head!

    I've tried the Bell Vela and Giro Skyla, children's helmets, universal fit "low profile" helmets, etc. with no luck. I think I've exhausted all my options at the local bike shops!

    Same problem here. I have a Bell Craze kid's helmet and I still look like some kind of freaky mushroom. I tell myself that having it stick out so much provides just that much more protection when my head hits the ground
    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
    David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    I have a really small head too. I have two different helmets, both fit me well and are small size. But they both still looked like gigantic mushrooms on my head when I was a new rider, and I felt weird wearing them. But now I have gotten used to how they look and they just don't seem that out of proportion to me anymore.
    It's become a less important issue to me over time, they just don't seem so oversized to me anymore.
