Most comfy helmet?

Hi all! Sorry for the million questions!

What is the lightest, most comfortable helmet you can recommend? I'll be running in it for the running portions of the ride and ties so it needs to be comfy!

:)
Thanks!

I second Tipperary, I just forget I'm wearing it and it looks sleek, no mushroom-head look.

I bought the Ovation Deluxe-schooler for my niece. I was impressed with how light, cute and comfortable it is. I just tried it on, so I really don't know how it would be riding/running for hours. I think the liner is washable, which is a plus.

Whatever fits your shape head the best. Go to a tack store that carries many brands and try on several to see what shape works best for you.

I loved my old Tipperary Sportage, but it was 6 years old and time to replace, so I got a new one. Unfortunately, the slightly redesigned newer style is not the same shape and gave me headaches. So now I have an Ovation Protege, which looks very similar to a Tipperary.

if I didnt buy online , id be living in a sod hut and building a fire rubbing two sticks together.
Buy online, just from one with a no BS return policy. Local stores , if you even have a local store never seem to have much selection, or are always out of the size/color/model you want.

I ended up getting the sportage in white based on your Allston high recommendations! Love it except I have to wear my hair in a loose low ball because the back goes down so far. Otherwise it's great! Did a 20 mile ride and tie plus a 30 mile CTR the day prior and never payed attention that it was there :)
thanks all!!
