OK I understand Outlaw says its a DOT helmet. But common sense says thats hard to believe, it not much more coverage than a skull cap and only a bit thicker. I'm betting thats why you cant find them for sale, some authority has questioned the authenticity of the DOT rating.
Either way if I could find a 2xl I'd be all over it

got mine the other day. i went with glossy because that was the only one in stock. i wear large from pretty much all the other helmet makers so i took a chance and got the L from outlaw. glad i did because a XL would have been too big. its very light and doesnt feel like it could really be DOT certified but ill keep wearing it. btw it did stink so i put 4 bounce dryer sheets inside and stuffed a few hand towels in it, cinched down the chin strap, left it overnight and its mostly stink free now.

To ZenGlide, and anyone else.....
My Outlaw AX30...... glossy black came in today..... It fit just like the pictures that have already been posted!!!! wooo hoooo
I always wear a Large on these half helmets.... Some say they run small, and L's were out of stock, so I went with a XL.
1st. I wanted flat, but glossy is all I could find - I actually really like it - looks better than most stock photos (will post pics tonight if anyone wants to see them)
2 - How it fits, it is just a TAD big, not real big, but a little.... but I wanted to wear a rag underneath it anyway, and with that, it is a PERFECT fit. Would a L have fit??? not sure. It would have either been snug, or too tight I'm guessing. I'm thinking it fits better than most XL's would, so I think it does run a little small.

My only concern about the matte carbon fiber is how well it holds up in the sun. I tend to leave my helmets sitting on the bike and they can get pretty hot on the outside. I've heard others mention the shell melting on these matte carbon models in extreme heat. We'll see how it goes. Thanks again for your review.

Well, it's official. Just received my recall notice on my Outlaw helmet. Apparently, it has failed some safety tests, hence the recall. They are offering a refund or exchange. They have not said what they plan on replacing it with. Just an FYI for those who have not received the recall notice. It specifies helmets bought between 02/12 and 10/12. Call Tegol for more info at 866-371-0281 Ref: NHTSA Recall # 12E-051. I should have known it was too good to be true.
