I've got a Giro Surface which I really like but it's too wide and so looks a bit stupid.

What alternatives exist for me to try and get a better fit?

Must have a peak and ideally make me look like a WWII German soldier.

I think you look good in it. Keep it.

Sorted AND money saved!

FYI The Bern ones look good though.

brakes - the peak is useful for that but mostly I just like the look.

Here's another look I like:

Whats wrong with a normal peaked lid?
Or are helmets use specific, lest one offend the nichesters?

I just like the look of these bigyinn, if you want to call me niche for that, that's up to you.

It's also handy to have a robust helmet for commuting, locking them up tends to damage lighter racier types IME. And I don't need as much ventilation on my commute.

Some of those helmets look like they should be worn to invade Poland
