My medium Outlaw AX30030 measures just under 8.25" W x 10.25" L, while my Voss non-Dot beanie measures 7.625" W x 9.5" L. It is only a little over 1/2" wider and 3/4 " longer than my non-Dot. Not enough to matter to me.

What, are you nuts (OP)? How small do you want it or expect it to be? It is significantly smaller then your other helmet, and it's a DOT, so it can only go so small and still retain the rating. It looks damn good to me. I actually prefer the Outlaw skull cap, which is cleaner looking without the snaps.

My point was this new batch seems to be bigger than the older ones they sold. Mine measures a half inch wider and a half inch longer than their previous batch of helmets. I think I'd have been very happy with the old style. I'm not upset with the new one, just disappointed

Well its been confirmed by member TattooBill that they have in fact changed the design of this helmet. This is his picture. Both helmets are the same size. He recently ordered a second as a spare and you can see there is quite a bit of difference

OK here we go with my helmets....

The one on the very left is an Outlaw skull and roses, normal Outlaw profile (my wife's helmet).
The one in the middle is the Outlaw Ultra Low Profile helmet.
The one on the right side is my ACC Carbon DOT helmet.




NOW DON'T BE SCARED, there is no makeup here and the face has not been changed to protect the innocent.....

Scroll down at your own risk:









This is the regular Outlaw Helmet with the skulls and roses:


This one is the Outlaw ultra low profile helmet that it seems that everyone is confusing with regular helmet:


This is the ACC Carbon helmet:


And for ***** and giggles, this is an HJC CS-2N Blade Half Helmet:


No chance to rise yet, but the Outlaw Ultra low is heavier than the ACC Carbon helmet. Not sure exactly because I don't have a scale small enough to measure the weights. The regular outlaw is third heaviest and obviously the HJC is the heaviest. It seems that HJC uses the same shell for all sizes of their half helmets. I don't think that there is a whole lot of difference between the Outlaw and the ACC, especially comparing the differences in price.

Who carries the old low-profile ax-30030? I don't want the newer style with extra padding.

They are gone for good. There was a gentlemen on eBay with them but he said they dont seem to be coming back in stock. I got a medium and a large in matte carbon available thats the older style with the less padding. The medium is too tight on my head and the large is too loose...go figure. I'm just gonna go full on novelty with a headtrip helmet.

kh24 - are you interested in selling the older style matte carbon in size large? If so, how much with shipping to Las Vegas 89123?
