Not sure how minimal you want to go but I can tell you that Head Trip helmets are comfortable and light weight.

They do offer some level of protection for you.

I like the light weight Vega carbon fiber and I also have a SENA Calvary. For long trips or riding at high speeds I always carry earplugs as well.
I am an earplug fan too!
Look at Akoury helmets.

They are advertised as smallest DOT helmets on the market. I was looking for a small light weight helmet. Came across the Akoury brand. I wear mine 99% of the time and will always have one as an option

I like the Vega helmets too
I just got the SOA inspired DOT Beanie Gloss Black No Peak helmet from bikerhelmets.com. I haven’t had the chance to wear it out on the bike yet but I’m very happy with the fit and look. I also ordered it on a Friday night at like 9pm and received it on Monday at around noon and that was standard shipping.

Are these the Vega helmets? I do not see a carbon fiber option here.

Second vote for Bikerhelmets.com I own three of them. The Gloss black SOA inspired beanie for myself and my wife. And the Carbon Fiber SOA inspired beanie. Very light weight, no mushroom look and DOT approved.
've heard they discontinued the real Carbon Fiber model but still have the fake finish model.

Thank you all for your inputs. I have learned of other helmet brands I was not familiar with. I ended up buying an HD helmet because it fit my needs and was available (I am leaving Tuesday for a trip). Other options I explored were:
Again, thanks for the inputs.
- Ordered a Bell Pit Boss, but it was too small and gave me serious mushroom head.
- Ordered a Vega Road Warrior only to learn they are backordered until April 30. I am not convinced this is the same Vega helmet others recommended.
- The Akoury helmet I liked is backordered until May 31. Again, thanks for the inputs.
I ran a 1969 Bell shorty for years. I tried numerous helmets but never could find one that would work. Then I paid$185 for a new carbon fiber helmet when they came out. In order for it to stay on my head over 60mph, I had to cinch it down way too tight.
I lucked out with the world's smallest DOT from biker Bob's in Canada. Now they have a US setup at www.bikerhelmets.com
I have since bought 4 of them. Best damn helmet I've ever seen. Don't wing it, follow thier sizing instructions to the letter and you'll be fine.

I second the worlds smallest dot helmet. Super comfortable, lightweight and it fits perfectly in saddlebags.

Just be aware that some of the cheaper ones chinstraps ride on your adams apple. Ya wont like that so try one on before you buy if possible.
