RE: ACC Helmets,,,eehhh.
It also depends on the size the xl is a inch larger thana large. I just bought a large last week and the 2 side by side and trying them on it's a big difference in size.the xl is as big as my other helmet. The large is a inch in width and a inch in length smaller than my other. What little i've warn it im pleased with it.

I found this comment from their website to be interesting..."We are currently shipping this item within 1-2 business days". As I posted in another thread, I cancelled my order with them after waiting 10 weeks and started seeing all the comments about poor quality. It appears they now have a reduced order volume if they are shipping them in one day. They also have them on sale. My guess is their business has declined substantially due to the quality problems I've read about on this site. Of course, they may have increased production capacity

You guys kill me with your vanity issues.[sm=dontgetit.gif]
Do you really think folks are pointing at your heads and snickering behind your backs becauseYOU think your safety helmet makes you a mushroom head?
It's a helmet for gosh sakes, not a fashon statement. Buy whatever is necessary to protect your head and satisfy the law and fergetaboutit!

If a ACC helmet is to big for your head then no helmet will work for you. I mean how could it be any smaller? Maybe a Carbon Fiber baseball cap.

I've got one of those helmets, and the only thing it's got over a "regular" helmet is the light weight. The strap system is crap. I feel like I'm putting on a bicycle helmet.

I took the advice of so many HD Forum members and purchased one of the DOT Carbon Fiber helmets by ACC. I was pretty pumped to get "the worlds smallest DOT helmet". Well, after getting it in and putting it on my head, I can now say it isNOT the worlds smallest DOT helmet. Its the same exact size and weight as my AFX DOT, and the lack of padding makes it even more uncomfortable than the AFX. I'm not sure what the craze is withthe ACC helmet, but I'm not convinced. Its no different than any other DOT approvedhelmet I've seen,,,except its $185. I guess I'll just have to deal with the "mushroom".
Anbody got any other suggetions for smallDOT approved helemts? Novelty helmets aren't really an option in my area right now. This time of year the cops start cracking down on the helmet laws. Guys I knowhave been pulled over just for helmet checks. Not sure if thats legal or not, but its happening.

As far as the ACC's, for me, I was extremely disappointed. I was convinced by this forum and by their website that they were the answer for me. But I also knew better than to order one online without trying them on (don't ask me how). The Myrtle Beach fall rally was coming up so I called ACC and asked if they would be there. They told me no but their biggest dealer, Iron Braid, would be and confirmed that they would have ACC helmets on display for trying on. I contacted Iron Braid and found out exactly where they would be. I went to the rally and went to the Iron Braid "booth" with money in pocket and started trying on the helmets. None of them fit or looked right for me - especially for $180+. I had a friend with me looking for the same thing for the same reasons and he was disappointed as well. Both of us walked away empty handed.
My friend wasn't happy with the Fulmer either. He bought one anyway but immediately sold it to a friend. He has since found a new model (don't know the name) put out by HCI that is a DOT half helmet. I must admit it appears to be smaller than what I have and really fits him well.
With all that said, I have to agree that most of us put too much emphasis on how the helmet looks on us. And we are our own worst critics. I see people try on helmets that, to me, look perfectly fine on them, but they feel like they look ridiculous and won't buy them. On the other hand, I've tried some on in front of
