I have done some research and I am looking for the smallest DOT half helmet available. From what I have found, the Daytona carbon fiber Skull Cap and the Outlaw AX-30030 carbon fiber, seem to be the smallest and lightest helmets. Does that seem right to you or are there others I am missing? Any experience with these helmets?

Thanks for your help

 

IMO it used to be the ACC carbon fiber helmets but they dont make DOTs anymore. I also have a HCI 1/2 and its pretty small, DOT and only cost about $ 60.00

 

I'll look into those. I certainly like the price better. Thanks

 

I haven't found the AX-30030 in stock at any online delears. Let me know if you can find them.

 

I really wanted an ACC. They not only had to stop selling their DOT helmet but they had to fully reimburse everyone that had bought one. In other words, I don't think the DOT's were really DOT.

Daytona makes the claim at smallest and I own the carbon fiber. Daytona makes the same model without carbon fiber for much less. Carbon fiber makes it weigh less and cost more.

 

From what I can tell outlaw has stopped production. No one has them online. A seller on ebay raised his prices today to 500 on his remaining stock.

 

Are the outlaw and skullcap helmets almost identical? From what I gather, they weigh the same (within a few ounces) and are the same size.

 

you are going to get as many different opinions to this question as there are responses to your post.

I tried the Daytona 1/2 helmet and didn't like it at all. It would not stay on my head at speed. I ended up with a Skid Lid which is smaller and fits my head better but YMMV.

 

Each manufacturer has different shapes to their helmets. Your best bet is to find a company that allows returns on helmets. This way if you order it you're not stuck if it doesn't fit right

 

+1 on HCI. I don't know if it's THE smallest, but it's probably among the smallest. I like mine.
