Wheras If I can get someone to ship USPS, it comes through our post office, and we pay the charges plus a nominal admin fee.
And because they're not legal over here I havnt been able to locate any stocks.
I've bought loads of stuff from US and always get it USPS,
Lawnmowerman I just bought the gloss carbon fiber Outlaw Ultra.It is brand new size Large.Never used it just tried it on once.I am thinking about selling it not sure if I want to keep it.I am more of a 3/4 helmet cat.If you are interested maybe we could work it out if I decide to sell it.PM me.

Thanks Malingerer but I am an XL, and from what I've read the sizes arent very generous, I was thinking of going with a 2XL, are you normally a large in your other helmets?.

I have been referring back to this thread every once in a while in hopes of finding the perfect low riding DOT helmet for my extremely small pinhead and had high hopes of buying the ACC, scratch that one. Now I hear about the Outlaw and seems to be perfect, but I cannot find one in stock anywhere! The price is right and the fit looks right but I cant find one! Anyone have any other sources?

I thought my Rockhard was pretty low profile, but a buddy of mine finally got his Lick's. It didn't fit me as well as my Rockhard does and immediately gave me a hotspot on my forehead, but it is definitely low profile....

I've been wanting a Rockhard but every time I check they are still on back order. Been thinking of going with a Licks but not sure yet. Which did you honestly like better?

Yeah Brett, post up about the licks. Trying to decide between rockhard, licks and bell 500. The licks is the .only one I can't try on.

well, I don't have any pics of it, a brother of mine has one. They are both sized in Large. My Rockhard fits perfect and gets better all the time. The interior of the Roackhard is much nicer than the Licks IMO. The fit of the Large in the Licks wasn't right. It felt like the ear flaps, if you will, were too high. Almost like it didn't come down far enough. As I mentioned earlier, I immediately got a hot spot. I only wore it for about 2 minutes. Sitting side by side, the Licks is definitely smaller. Licks does use different size shells for all their sizes I believe, so I am afraid a X-Large in the Licks wouldn't look much different than my Large by Roackhard....

If you are going to base it purely on looks, the Lick's wins I guess, but comfort wise, the Rockhard feels better. I just wore my Rockhard on the 3200 mile round trip trek to Colorado and back in June. Don't think I could have done it in the Licks....at least not in a Large. I will give him some time to wear it and try it on again to see if it breaks in at all.....
