Default Skid Lid ??

I know helmet topics have been beat to death, but, is there any better low profile half helmet than a Skid Lid? I have an HCI half helmet and am hoping for something smaller and also something that doesn't lift at speed. are there any half helmets that don't lift at speed??

Yep, just last week we talked about this. :d

Check out the Daytona half shells. I'm thinking about getting one to check out. I'm covered with a Fulmer half shell right now and it's not that bad really. If I don't have it tight it lifts so I just snug it up before launch. Definitely doesn't give the mushroom effect as far as size etc. But I believe the Daytonas are smaller.

I took a tape measure to the store and found Fulmers to be smaller OD than SkidLids, so I went with the Fulmer.

I had a SkidLid for about 30 minutes..ordered it online (i forget what model, but it was supposed to be the lowest-low-profile they made), it was actually bigger than my HD half-helmet and made a huge mushroom head..sent it right back, ordered a RockHard 3/4 helmet, couldn't be happier. Can't hear a damn thing with it on, but it's still really comfortable.

The Outlaw ultra slim is supposed to be minimal for a DOT, I am waiting for flat black to come back into stock but if you like gloss blk then Leather Up has them for 39.95

My Skull Crush is the best fitting helmet I have ever tried.

After that I also like my Outlaw (its the 1st version that was thinner).
