Born to Ride DOT Skull Cap Half Shell Motorcycle Helmet Matte Black

The Born to Ride helmet is a DOT approved skull cap half shell motorcycle helmet in matte black, built for riders who want real protection without the bulk of a full face lid. A tough ABS shell, high density EPS impact liner and a sweat wicking Coolmax interior come together in a low profile half helmet that weighs only 950 grams, so you barely feel it on long cruises.

Why Riders Choose This Half Helmet

• DOT certified protection. Tested to Department of Transportation standards, so this skull cap helmet is street legal and built to take a hit.
• Low profile skull cap fit. No mushroom head look. The slim shell hugs your head for the classic biker silhouette.
• Drop down dark inner visor. Flip it down to block sun glare, wind noise and bugs without carrying separate shades.
• Cool in the heat. The open face design plus Coolmax moisture wicking lining keeps your head dry on hot summer rides.
• Born to Ride skull graphic. A fierce skull design on both sides of the dull black shell gives it the vintage outlaw look riders ask for.

Who It Is For

This half shell helmet fits cruiser and chopper riders, Harley style baggers, cafe racer fans and anyone who wants a lightweight brain bucket for city commutes, weekend rides and summer touring. The fit works for both men and women. Pair it with a set of motorcycle goggles for open road wind protection, or browse the full motorcycle helmets collection if you want to compare styles.

Getting the Right Fit

Wrap a soft tape measure around your head about 2 cm above your eyebrows and ears. Match that number to the size ranges above. A half helmet should feel snug all the way around with no pressure points, and it should not rotate when you shake your head. Adjust the chin strap so only two fingers fit between strap and jaw.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this half helmet DOT approved?

Yes. The Born to Ride skull cap helmet is DOT certified, which means it passed the Department of Transportation impact and penetration standards required for street legal motorcycle helmets in the US.

What sizes does the Born to Ride helmet come in?

It comes in M (57 to 58 cm), L (59 to 60 cm), XL (61 to 62 cm) and XXL (63 to 64 cm). Measure around the widest part of your head just above the eyebrows and match it to the range. If you land between two sizes, go with the larger one.

Does it have a visor?

Yes. It has a built in dark inner visor that drops down to cut sun glare, wind and bugs, so you can ride without separate sunglasses if you prefer.

Is a half helmet good for hot weather riding?

That is exactly what it is built for. The open face design gives you full airflow while the Coolmax lining wicks sweat, which makes it a favorite for summer cruising and around town rides.

Is this the same as the born to die helmet I have seen online?

Riders sometimes search for it as the born to die helmet, but the official design is Born to Ride, a classic skull graphic on a matte black DOT half shell. This is that helmet.
