most it seems don't come below the ears.
has anyone crashed on the side of their head and not had enough helmet to keep their cheeks from hiting the ground?
the helmet I ride w/ is an old (1970's) ProTec. it is the kind that comes down over the ears and looks really really dumb but I can't bring myself to buy a new one because I think they look dumb too....
