OK I understand Outlaw says its a DOT helmet. But common sense says thats hard to believe, it not much more coverage than a skull cap and only a bit thicker. I'm betting thats why you cant find them for sale, some authority has questioned the authenticity of the DOT rating.
Either way if I could find a 2xl I'd be all over it

DOT does not have regulating authority....like say...the FDA.(yet)
The only way to be positive that your helmet is DOT compliant is to test it, and in the process, your helmet will be destroyed.
If the manufacturer shows DOT they make the helmets according to DOT specs....then the manufacturer puts the DOT tag and sticker on the helmets. (probably rests mostly on what the manufacturer tells DOT)

By "authority"....Im assuming you mean "cops".....lol....

I'm just thinking out loud here, but could it be the added strength of the carbon Fiber shell may offset the need for the thicker interior? Since the DOT test is an impact test, maybe the extra strength of the shell does absorb more impact and therefore less interior padding is needed to pass the test. It seems like the only DOT helmets I see with the reduced interior padding are made of carbon fiber. Again, I really have no idea. I'm just throwing out possibilities.

They are nice helmets. I plan to get one when they become available again. If they're foreign made, maybe there's a bunch of them sitting on a container dock somewhere.

Got one two weeks ago, along with a hawk flip up that rotates to the rear like the shark helmets. Paid 35 for the half, and another 100 for the flip up. Love them both

Default How it fits

To ZenGlide, and anyone else.....

My Outlaw AX30...... glossy black came in today..... It fit just like the pictures that have already been posted!!!! wooo hoooo

I always wear a Large on these half helmets.... Some say they run small, and L's were out of stock, so I went with a XL.

1st. I wanted flat, but glossy is all I could find - I actually really like it - looks better than most stock photos (will post pics tonight if anyone wants to see them)

2 - How it fits, it is just a TAD big, not real big, but a little.... but I wanted to wear a rag underneath it anyway, and with that, it is a PERFECT fit. Would a L have fit??? not sure. It would have either been snug, or too tight I'm guessing. I'm thinking it fits better than most XL's would, so I think it does run a little small.
