Hi guys....i haven't been here for so long....happy to be back.

A quick question....

which is the smallest but homologated helmet u have ever seen??

I live in europe, so "homologated" means EC approved.

Dot approved and similar are outlaw here.

Thanks to all for your answers...

i know most of u r american, and u don't care about European laws...but c'mon..

Some companies make kids helmets that are certainly DOT certified. Not sure about EC certification though.

AFX Europe | Motorcycle, Motocross and Scooter Helmets

Check the Youth models.

<------- has a big head, so I have no idea on finding small helmets

I would guess that the regular companies in the US, Arai, Shoei, HJC et al would have sufficient approvals in the EU. Some of them go to XXXS so I've seen...

Thanks guys!

Very useful info, especially AFX Europe has ECE small open face helmets.

Italy is the home of the scooter, any shop should have a great selection.

Roof out of France has some great helmets but not legal in North America, must have DOT.

I wear an XXL in most helmets, and it's still tight on my face. Does that mean my head is 7 times bigger than someone who wears an XXXS???
