Daytona Helmets 3/4 Open Face Motorcycle Helmet – DOT Approved

I really appreciated seeing some pictures when I was making my purchase so here is mine (awkward but) for reference. I don’t feel like I look like Toad from Mario Kart as much and the sizing fits me perfectly. I like it! Best price for great quality!

I'd gone through probably 5 different "low-profile" 3/4 helmets and all of them made me look like the Great Gazoo from the Jetsons. There are plenty of "novelty" helmets out there that aren't DOT approved that riders will wear to get around the various helmet laws but they offer no protection whatsoever and defeats the purpose.The Dayona Cruiser is a TRUE low profile helmet and solves the problem of legitimate protection and looking like a bobble head. The quick release ratchet style chin strap is perfect for use while wearing gloves. The finish out is nice and the liner is comfrtable. I bought gloss black (pictured after a ride through a rainstorm) and my buddy has the sunburst/root beer color which looks great! highly recommended for those wanting retro style without looking like an orange on a tooth-pick.

This helmet lives up to it's expectations so far. This is one of the lowest profile helmets I've owned to date. It is replacing a Licks NOVDOT 3/4 helmet and when I put them side by side they look almost identical, see picture. I've only had this helmet for a few weeks but have put it through all of my typical riding situations. Even at highway speed I get no helmet lift and it stays snug in place. This is on a naked bike with no wind screen. The only feature I am not thrilled with it the ratcheting strap. I have never had a helmet with this feature so maybe I just need to get used to it. Also, there is no snap for the extra helmet strap so you need to tuck it somewhere so it doesn't flap in the wind.Although both of these helmets are a size large, the measurement charts are slightly different and the Licks large is slightly bigger and more round. I would classify the Daytona as an intermediate oval which makes it fit my head a little better. I was in between sizes (M-L) with Licks so the large started fitting looser over time. The Daytona I was spot on at the low end of a size large and the fit is more snug and comfortable. I originally planned to by another Licks at the smaller size since they've changed their helmet slightly since I purchased this one but they are always on backorder and the Daytona was almost half the price. I would almost wager that these helmets are made in the same factory.If you're looking for a low profile 3/4 helmet I would highly recommend the Daytona.

Got this for my dad for Father's Day. He's 71 this year. Wanted a slim light weight good looking vintage style helmet. Helmet is sized comparable to the big names so if a large shoei helmet fits you so will this one. Great value. May not have all the hi tech features of a $400 Schuberth but it's Great helmet compared to other you can buy at this price point.Update: I purchased one of these for myself as well. Had it a year or so. Sept 29 2019 I was leaving my parents place heading home about 3pm. I live in a rural area lots of fields woods and well as I found out deer. At 60 mph I came into a clearing and a deer ran directly into the front wheel of my touring bike. Happened in a split second. I was wearing a xxxl Daytona 3/4 open face helmet leather jacket boots gloves and jeans. Wasn’t anything I could avoid and the deer took the front wheel out from underneath me. Sent me staight onto my back and well my head hit the pavement. I slid rolled and tumbled. Other than a destroyed bike, some mild road rash as scuffed helmet and damaged pride I was fine. I was dazed but nothing broken and most importantly NO head injury. Fortunately I went down on my back. Had I landed face first things could’ve been different with this open face helmet. But it survived a spill from 60mph. If you check the pics I uploaded you will see the damage my helmet saved my head from. I put a lot of miles on this helmet. I will buy another for spring 2020.

I want to start this review by saying, for the money this helmet is hard to beat. If you're wanting a low budget, low profile 3/4 helmet than this could be it. There are already alot of reviews covering the quality vs price of this helmet but one thing I couldn't find much of is what headshape the Daytona Cruiser 3/4 helmet fits best. I would say this helmet is an intermediate oval. Compared to the LS2 it is very close with the Daytona being a little more round. It isn't as round as the Bell 500 or Biltwell helmets I've tried. My Shoei full face has a little more oval profile than this helmet does. If you can try before you buy I highly recommend it. If not than give one or the helmets I mentioned a try and see how those fit.Also instead of measuring like the fitment guide suggest I used the measurements of my Shoei (best fitting helmet for me) and ordered the size that matched. Helmet fits me how it should. If I followed the instructions I would've had one size bigger than I ordered.

Got my new helmet , this is a well made low profile helmet. Not the lowest but better then the usual mushroom helmets. Ordered my size , at first it felt to tight but finally it adjusted. Recommended.

very happy with it
