Default Outlaw T70, AFX FX72, etc

Anyone have these 1/2 lids? Outlaw t70, t72, AFX FX70, Gmax 65, Fly 357. I am looking for a decent 1/2 lid for local rides on hot days and do not wanna go over $75. Sure I will get some "creative" replies LOL but looking for people who has worn these helmets and get their opinions. Thanks.

I have a Gmax 65. Nothing wrong with it. I rarely wear it though because I wear my Akouri 88 far more.

I use the Outlaw T70 below. I bought it through LeatherUp.com. I really can't say anything good or bad about it. It's a half helmet. I don't have any current plans to test its effectiveness.

Skidmore, $60 will get you a Daytona 1/2 helmet. Small, good 1/2 helmet for the money. Light with narrow straps.

thanks. I like the wider ear flaps that comes with the removable side covers. My ears are crap. I can wear earplugs but the other version works well enough I don't have to stick earplugs in. Honestly I never owned a thin strap helmet so I am just thinking out loud which can be dangerous. A drop down visor is a plus. Not worried about wind or bugs too much as the windshield catches most.

Well rolling the dice, on the cheap, I ordered a Fly 357 off Competition Accessories for a whopping 23 bucks plus almost 9 bucks shipping. They had an XL on clearance. I think that is not a huge gamble. If it sucks, I am not out much. No ear pieces or top peak visor, so this is a style I wanted to try to see.

The Bell Pit Boss is the exact helmet for your description.

I thought so too. I went to the HD dealer and tried on their branded version (of course a lot more expensive than the Bell logo'd). I did not care for it. Weird I know. It did not fit my melon well. I was hoping as I like Bell.
