Helmet look too big?

This is going to sound real stupid, but here it goes.

I am a relatively small guy with a relatively large head. I'm slim, am 5' 10" and weigh 135lbs. Whenever I have my Large helmet on, it looks sort of disproportionate.

It used to bother me, but I've gotten used to is. Has anyone else gone through this? What did you do to deal with it?

I'm 5'11, 175 lbs, and my helmet looks like something outta Spaceballs, too.

I don't sweat it. It's the morons in the do-rags who look like morons.

My poor husband has the same problem...he needs a 3XL helmet (and you thought yours was big). He looks like an astronaut. He's an avg sized guy too... Helmet shopping is not fun for him.

He looks like an astronaut.

That's to funny.

As soon as I read that I could see a guy riding with an astronaut helmet on.

I have got to get a helmet like the first one and ride around town.

I'm 6'3", 160lbs. My shoulder are VERY narrow, I fit perfect into a medium t-shirt. I look pretty top heavy with my helmet on, I wear a large.
