Does the Outlaw have an Interior Labelwith the manufacture's name, date DOT# ? My state (Wa.) requires this and they can make you remove the helmet so they can inspect it.

It's now a $124.00 ticket and a primary law and they can tow your scoot on the spot (another $500.00). They can legally pull you over to inspect. 5 helmet violations and you loose your endorsement (don't know for how long).

Cool, may check it out. Not like I need ANOTHER helmet, but always seeking smaller.

OK, went to a different image uploader and it seems to be working. I've used Photobucket for years, don't know what the deal is.....anyway:





Big Ugly Helmet for a big ugly head :










And the low profile Carbon Fiber helmet........for a big ugly head:







And an upshot so you can see how thin the helmet is:

Nice fit, though in my state, you'd probably get pulled over due to it looking like a skid lid.

LOL - not true, the Outlaw Low Profile helmet is DOT AND Low Profile.

You can sign up to have them send you an email when the helmet you want becomes available. It took them less then a week to send me an email they had some in stock and I was able to order one.

FYI - Both Vega Helmets (http://www.vegahelmet.com/altura.html) and Daytona Helmets (http://www.daytonahelmets.com/home/d...l_helmets.html) make low profile helmets as well, not just Outlaw.
