I know this has been asked in the past, but I've done a search and found only 2 threads addressing the 'low profile' issue, so I thought I would pose an updated version of this question....
From what I've read so far, it seems as though the Giro ATMOS and XEN are supposed to be the lowest profile because nobody has suggested anything else. I realize that the ATMOS is designed for road and the XEN designed for off-road. That being said, do both of those helmets offer the same profile, or is the ATMOS a little lower b/c it is designed for road use or vice versa?
Is there any other helmet out there (by a reputable manufacturer) that has a nice looking LOW PROFILE helmet that wont make my head look like it's growing a giant mushroom off the top? I just laugh everytime I see myself in the mirror wearing my old Bell Paradox.
