Hi, I am very happy with my current Caberg V2R helmet but it has some bulky shell (I am size Medium).

Now I am looking for a spare / pillion helmet.
Something cheap with small shell.
Can any one point me in the right dirrection?

Thing is, what shape head is your pillion? Different lids fit different people. Most helmets makes come in small. Best to go into the shop with your friend, and get them to try on lids that will suit their head shape best. Thumbs Up

most helmets come in a small but that doesn't mean the shell size is any different especially with cheaper models.

Visiting a shop won't help, you'll need to have a clear idea of the brands you're interested in and check the manufacturer's specs, that will tell you how many shell sizes it comes in.

You're going to have to do a search online for helmets in you price range, then visit the manufacturers website and check to see how many shell sizes they do that helmet in and which shell size corresponds to which helmet size.

Many budget companies will only do 1 or 2 shell sizes to fit everything from xs-xxl
