Is this helmet going to sit on top of my head, like a mushroom, due to bulky padding???

well it sits high but not as bad as some, I didn't care for it myself, I resold it

There is enough padding to protect you, but the helmet fits nicely. I've been using mine for many months and I find it quite comfortable. It's great for ATVing. The only problem I have with this helmet is that I wish the front visor stuck out a little farther to shield my eyes when I'm heading into the sun. I got a white one because it's cooler and provides more visibility to other drivers.

Your helmet will fit my helmet fit nicely in the case.still have about 1 inche and 1/2 of room on top when you put the helmet in case.the helmet looks very nice in case.and the cases is worth the money.

It is not at all bulky. I wear it under a full faced motocross helmet and it does not force my face to rub against the helmet or anything. In fact, a photographer recently took pictures of me right after I took of my helmet (the mouth guard was still in) and until I opened my mouth, you could not even tell that I was wearing a mouth guard because there isn't any of that traditional "mouth guard bulge". It's very low profile.

Mine definitely does not have a helmet pocket... not sure what the deal is.

My son has an average size head I think and this helmet was too big. It was comically huge in him but with extra padding it might stay put.

I am not sure... by all means it is a good and sturdy helmet. My son uses it for skateboarding and I think he is well protected.

I have. The other day it was 92 in the valley out here in so cal and I wore this helmet. It felt slightly warmer but I think my biggest issue was when my head got itchy there were no vents to scratch. They do have a new helmet coming out in the fall called the Giro synthe. It's a semi Aero hybrid between the air attack and aeon. It offers ventilation and an aero feel with a less comical look. I would hold off to get that helmet (and am going to add that to my repertoire when it's released).

Short answer "no" it will not protect you in any way from a bump. The crown of the cap is strong/thin/elastic mesh that breathes to keep a sweaty head cooler. No protection afforded at all - I use mine under a logger's helmet to ease the helmet on/off - keep hair out of my face - and the sweatband to keep sweat out of my eyes. Hope this answer helps you.

I would say the padding makes the helmet tolerable for the 95% of the time it is not protecting from an impact. Understandable it is the 5% of the time you are concerned but, Personally I would get the larger helmet and add in pads to make it fit more snugly. These pads do make it possible for a larger helmet to fit and you can adjust pretty well by using them. Also, this will allow you to maintain the helmet longer simply by removing pads as the child gets bigger.

Hi,I have this helmet and i love it. I've never felt the visor obstruct my view. I don't see how it could if you are looking forward. It doesn't fall on your face.

I can weigh it when I get home, but I'm a 190lb guy and it felt comfortable to me, I had a GMAX helmet that was not modular like this one and I didn't notice a difference in weight....

the alignment on this case is a real problem and I would not be that confident about helmet fitting

Good question. This is a novelty helmet so it fits so differently from a DOT helmet. What ever size you normally wear, go one size smaller. I ended up putting a little padding inside the helmet to make it fit a little snugger. I used slim pieces of foam to put inside the helmet (there are flaps inside to make this possible and easy, for a more comfortable fit. It is a cool helmet and a little protection is better than none since I hate wearing helmets.

I think you might be better off with an actual snowboarding helmet. This helmet has some padding, but not a lot. It also doesn't come down as low in the back and sides as a normal snowboarding helmet.

no. it is a great quality cover, but it is not rigid. it would just be floppy and not hold its shape without a helmet.

Yea it will... I wear it under my full face motorcycle helmet... And those have the right cheek pads too... Its about as thick as... Idk like the cuff of a hoodie.. Like a WalMart hoodie not a super thick one... It'll be fine :)

The best thing to do is to go into an actual store and try on the helmet to figure out what size fits you best...then order it at a better price from Amazon! Watch a youtube video on helmet safety and proper fit!
