Daytona Cruiser 3/4 Open Face Helmet, DOT Certified Gun Metal Flake
If you have been searching for a DOT open face helmet that does not make you look like a mushroom, the Daytona Cruiser is the answer. Daytona Helmets built this 3/4 open face helmet on their Slim Line shell, the smallest DOT approved 3/4 shell ever made. The gun metal flake finish catches the sun with a deep metallic sparkle under a clear lacquer coat, a classic custom paint look that turns heads at every stop.
Why Riders Choose Daytona Helmets
Daytona Helmets is a genuine American helmet brand that has specialized in low profile DOT helmets for decades. Every Cruiser meets and exceeds D.O.T. FMVSS 218 safety standards, so you get real certified protection in a shell that hugs your head instead of ballooning around it. With three different shell sizes across the size range, you get a proportionate fit whether you wear XS or 2XL.
Built for All Day Comfort
The custom formed interior cradles your head while moisture wicking fabric keeps you cooler and drier on long rides. The reinforced strap retention system locks down with a quick release buckle you can pop open with one finger, even with gloves on. Nickel plated rolled tubular steel rivets and a clear lacquer finish round out the premium construction.
Fit Guidance
Daytona helmets are famous for their slim profile. The Cruiser runs true to size, so measure the circumference of your head at its widest point and match it to the size chart. If you are between sizes, most riders choose the snugger size because the liner breaks in and conforms to your head after a few rides.

Rider Questions, Answered
Is this helmet really DOT certified?
Yes. The Daytona Cruiser meets and exceeds D.O.T. FMVSS 218 safety standards. It is a genuinely certified helmet, not a novelty lid, and Daytona Helmets is known for building the smallest DOT approved shells on the market.
Will this helmet make my head look like a mushroom?
No. The Cruiser is built on Daytona's Slim Line shell, the smallest DOT 3/4 shell ever made. It uses three different shell sizes across the range, so the shell stays proportionate to your head instead of one oversized shell for everyone.
How does Daytona sizing run?
Daytona helmets run true to size with a famously slim profile. Measure your head circumference at the widest point and match it to the size chart. If you land between sizes, most riders take the snugger size since the liner conforms to your head over the first few rides.
Does it come with a visor?
Yes. Every Cruiser Gun Metal Flake includes a removable, snap on gloss black bubble visor. You can ride with the bubble visor, swap in the included head wrap and goggles, or run the helmet clean.
Can I wear goggles with it?
Absolutely. The helmet has a goggle strap on the rear to keep your goggles secure, and the open face design pairs perfectly with riding goggles or sunglasses.
What is the finish like in person?
The gun metal flake is a deep gray metallic sparkle sealed under a clear lacquer coat, the same style as classic custom paint. It shifts and glints in the sunlight and photographs darker than it looks on the road.
Is the interior comfortable in hot weather?
Yes. The custom formed interior is lined with moisture wicking fabric that pulls sweat away from your skin and keeps your head cooler on long summer rides.
How does the chin strap work?
It uses a reinforced strap retention system with a quick release lock. A one finger release lever lets you pop it open easily, even with riding gloves on.
What comes in the box?
You get the helmet, the removable gloss black bubble visor, a free head wrap, and a cloth draw string storage bag.
What if it does not fit me?
You are covered by our 30 day guarantee. If the fit is not right, contact us and we will arrange an exchange or return. Shipping is free, and international orders over $150 also ship free.
