Default Helmet question

Hey guys maybe someone has one of these helmets and give me the insight that i am looking for.. Now my friend has the outlaw helmet the ultra-low profile slim fit carbon-fiber helmet sits nice, sits like a novelty helmet, now my only thing is im not sure of how much of a fan i am of the carbon fiber, i was looking at the daytona skull cap 1/2 low profile now they claim that it is the smallest DOT helmet but i wanted to know if it is the same as the outlaw carbon fiber helmet i don't want to order it and it isnt as small and slim as the carbon fiber
that is the inside of the outlaw carbon fiber but daytona doesnt show the picture of the inside of the helmet so i can't tell if it is as slim. can anyone help me out

I have this helmet and love it. Pretty slim -- almost the same as a novelty helmet. Light as can be.

I am thinking of getting a FF though just for safety reasons.

These are the same I was looking at, I have the Ultra Low Profile Matte Carbon-Fiber one now. My question, as well as the OP's is, is the Ultra "Slim" Profile Fiberglass helmet the same size as the Ultra "Low" Profile Carbon-Fiber one.

The Matte Carbon-Fiber helmet has a gel type coating to turn the Gloss CF into a Matte CF. The coating began melting off my helmet a few months after I bought it. Almost like a sticker residue now, all over the helmet. That's why I'm either looking at the Gloss CF or the Fiberglass one instead.
