Default DOT helmet

I'm looking for a DOT half helmet that doesn't make me look like I have a head like super Mario. I have read that the smallest one is the ultra-slim outlaw helmet from leather up but they seem to be sold out. Any other suggestions?

I had a outlaw dot and sent it back. You won't find a low profile dot legal helmet anywhere. I have looked hi and low. The best looking DOT I found was a Daytona 3/4 dot. I use a non dot polo keeps the wife off my back. Used the dot when it'll my test sits on my shelf now.

I'm in the same boat. I'm considering the Skid Lid Original and the AK-88 by Akoury.

Links in the names...

Would you be willing to weigh your Skid Lid and Maybe the Harley one? I'm curious how much they weigh... And which Specific Skid Lid do you have? I know the AK-88 weighs about 1.8 lbs (881g).

Thanks.

I have the Skid Lid. Love it. I've spent over $300 on Harley half helmets and ended up with a $45 Skid Lid. It fits low on my head and doesn't move when I'm ridin.
