Rode about 15 miles today in my new Outlaw AX-30030. Was great up to about 50mph, then started to lift a little bit due to the strap loosening. Picking up a quick-connect when the moto store opens up. Coming from a V2 (3/4), definitely more wind noise, but i honestly enjoyed it. Once we stopped and i re-tightened the strap, all was good, except for the exta strap slapping me in the neck/cheek when i tuned my head.

I put a quick disconnect on my outlaw and set it good and tight and I get no lift at all at highway speeds. You have to get a helmet that fits nice and tight and have the straps on there good and tight to not get lift with a half helmet.

mine is definitely a tight fit. Got a M, considered sending it back for a L, but decided to keep it after reading/watching tutorials on helmet fitment, as I fall right on the M/L line, and everything said to go with the smaller size when between sizes. The problem wit the Outlaw is that the strap loosens as the lid meets wind resistance, and then it lifts. Pretty sure the quick connect will fix it.

Pics as promised. Try to look past the ugly mug under the lid. Also, note that the center snap is not lined up with the center of my head/face. This displays the crushing revelation that my head is crooked that was described previously. FYI, I have an oval head, obviously svelte facial structure. Lid fits my wife's round head a lil better, but I'm not complaining as her regular Outlaw 1/2 lid makes me look real shroomy, and this one not so much. Best part is that my wife's helmet and mine were less combined and shipped than my daughter's Purple Flake V2 was alone.

I took my snaps off mine and just put the black screws in for a cleaner look...

Been riding around for a few days with the Rockhard. I like it. I didn't like my Harley half helmet with the wind noise and lift at higher speeds I was getting. I was going to start wearing ear plugs if I kept that helmet. The Rockhard looks big on my head, but I don't care. I have that type of head where everything looks big on me. Don't know if everyone gets the retro style, nobody likes the look of it but me. Some say it needs a visor. Some say I look like an old man, but I'm not one to look for approval. I wear what I like and this helmet is comfortable for me and I feel safer in it. I'm used to my full face snowmobile helmets or the one from my motocross bike. This one suits me perfectly. I'm just waiting to see what happens when it gets really hot out.
