Hey guys,

First time posting. It looks like a lot of great info on here. My problem is, I need a good helmet. I have been using my old protec helmet from my skating days. It's not cutting it. However, the way my head is shaped, I can't find a helmet for mountain biking that fits properly. They all sit too high on my head, with the sides several inches above my ears. It looks ridiculous, and doesn't seem to provide much protection. My head is just tall and squarish.

First: What's best style of helmet for intermediate mtb? Full face? Vented? Etc...
Second: Has anyone had this same big head problem, but found a brand or model that works?

I appreciate any help, I don't want to splatter the old brains, and I don't want to look like an idiot either.
