Daytona D.O.T German Hi Gloss Black Helmet
If you are searching for a DOT German motorcycle helmet that actually looks as low profile as the novelty lids but is street legal, this is it. The Daytona German hi gloss black helmet is a genuine DOT half helmet that meets and exceeds D.O.T. safety standard FMVSS 218, wrapped in a deep hi gloss black lacquer finish with nickel plated steel rivets and a clean look with no snaps and no visor.
Why riders choose Daytona Helmets
Daytona Helmets is a genuine American helmet brand that has been building DOT certified lids for riders for decades. Daytona is famous for one thing above all: the slimmest, most low profile DOT approved helmets you can buy. This German style half helmet is built on 3 different shell sizes, so every size from XS to XL keeps the same sleek proportions on your head.
No mushroom head. Real protection.
The slim line design offers a sleek contoured shell that hugs your head and eliminates the mushroom look. Daytona calls it the smallest D.O.T. half shell ever made. Under the shell, a custom formed interior with moisture wicking fabric keeps your head cooler and more comfortable in warm weather, mile after mile.
Fit and sizing guidance
Daytona helmets run true to size with a slim profile. Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and match it to the size chart. If you find yourself between two sizes, Daytona recommends ordering the smaller size for this slim line skull cap.
