You might want to look at BMX helmets- I run with one fall-winter-spring. They cover a lot more of the head than roadie-style helmets. I've got a pryme xl, and it runs from the nape of my neck to just above my eyebrows.

Too damn hot for summer, alas. I'm trying to find last years giro xen on sale somewhere.
