Looking for skateboarding helmet

The only skateboarding helmet for Daz or Poser that I can find that isn't sci-fi themed is for Kids 4, and it's not convincing as a modern helmet, there's no padding and the holes are too small. I mean something like this (don't care about textures, just shape): https://img.skatewarehouse.com/watermark/rs.php?path=87LAHL-BK-1.jpg&nw=435

Has anyone seen a product or freebie remotely similar to this? I'm surprised something like this wasn't created for the skateboarder bundle for G8F, but it wasn't. The only brain bucket included for our virtual sk8r grrls was an oversized baseball cap.

    Thank you! It's closer, but unfortunately still has no padding. From most conventional angles I guess you wouldn't see it. But I figure if I'm going to render a skateboarder with a helmet on, she should be in the air with the camera looking up from below. And then the missing padding becomes conspicuous.

    I really need to learn how to use Blender, it probably wouldn't be that hard to add some padding if I had even modest 3d modeling skills.

    Thank you, that's the same product chibimonchichi found as well. So far it's the only one I've seen that's close, maybe I can make it work. Hopefully it goes on sale soon...

    If anyone is interested, I ended up buying a fairly cheap helmet model on CGTrader, it was the shape I was looking for and priced right. There are some much nicer ones in the $15-$20 range, but that was more than I could justify for one or two renders I'm going to use it. The one I bought was low poly, so I turned into subd and that worked, and it needed some reassignment of surfaces in geometry editor so I could apply the kinds of shaders I wanted to the different parts. But it worked out well in the end.

    Did you rig it to the character (transfer rigging), or just scaled it and then parent to head?

    Just parented and scaled, and moved some polygons around with Mesh Grabber to fit, especially the strap.

    If anyone is interested, this is the final result.
