Default Smaller shell helmets?

Recently purchased an HJC helmet, and well the outer shell...... its large. I am a skinnier guy so it kind of looks funny and just bought the helmet to get me started until I buy a nicer one. I have no problem wearing that one until I can find something better, but can you point me in the direction of some smaller shelled helmets so I know where to start my search?

Thanks

Yes it fits fine, but I would prefer a smaller shell if it doesnt sacrifice safety. I was just told they were out there but didnt know if it was a certain brand.

Suomy uses three different shell sizes for their helmets. Try to find a Suomy dealer or rider with one to compare to your HJC. AGV uses two different shells. The lower priced helmets tend to use one shell. I don't know what HJC does as far as shells.
Also, different manufacturers make different shaped helmets, some round, others more oval, like Arai.
