OK, so I just moved from Montana to Washington state, and they have a helmet law. I always wear a FF when I'm commuting anyway, but I miss going helmetless when heading out to the local hang-outs or just putting around town.

So I'm looking for a small and light half-helmet. Cheap is good, too.

What are you folks wearing? What's good about 'em?

Not looking to start another helmet/ATGATT thread, please.

Thanks.

 

Only takes one time with the head meeting the pavement for me to keep one on my head at all times!
Not preachin' just sayin... :-)

 

yeah, you're preaching... he didn't ask for it. Smallest and lightest? Probably the Lick's NovDOT

 

WOW, now I know another club to ignore.

 

He's looking for a half lid. The NovDot is 3/4.

 

Since you are looking for a DOT 1/2 helmet, there is only one way to go. Daytona. They actually have differenjt shell sizes for the different head sizes. Many companys make one shell size and fill it with more padding for smaller heads, thus leading to mushroom head. If your head size is XL or 2XL you can use the other recomendations you hear on this forum. But for smaller heads, like me, Daytona is the way to go. I know, I have a basement full of helmets based on recomendations from the forum. Finally found daytona and will never go back.

get your feelings hurt? ... dude, he asked a question about a lid, not whether or not you wear one.

inswva, you're right, I didn't see the 1/2 lid part, my bad...

 

I just got the Outlaw AX-30030 carbon fiber matte black from www.leatherup.com
It is a small, DOT half helmet.

 

What size helmet do you wear? And do these come in different shell sized for different head sizes?
