The Half Helmet Blues

So being down in Florida I thought I would pick up a half helmet to use instead of my Vega FF. The selection at the local shop was not great but I came away with a Daytona brand half helmet. I bought a medium (my FF is a large) but when I wear it , it feels like it lifts off my head a bit then kinda tilts back. And I had the chin strap way tight for the second ride, same thing. The "mushroom"look I could almost live with but I'm not digging the way it feels.

Take it back to where you bought for return or exchange. I was never a fan of half helmets hence riding with a 3/4 all my riding years. I love my GMax 67s 3/4, lots of ventilation, very light and under $100.

Not a fan of Half helmets, I've been using a 3/4 Scorpion for a couple of years and I like it.
Scorpion EXO-250 Helmet - Jafrum
I've got the optional shield for it so if I run into rain I can pull the visor off and replace it with the shield.
