Daytona Skull Cap Helmet: The Smallest DOT Half Helmet Ever Made
If you have been searching for a DOT half helmet that does not make you look like a mushroom, this is the one riders keep coming back to. The Daytona gloss black cap helmet uses a Slim Line shell that sits low and hugs your head, with a clean gloss black finish and a removable mini scoop visor. It is a genuine Daytona Helmets product, built in the USA tradition of real, certified protection.
Why Daytona Helmets
Daytona has spent decades perfecting one thing: making the smallest, lowest profile helmets that still meet and exceed DOT safety standard FMVSS 218. Where cheap novelty lids offer zero real protection and generic DOT lids look bulky, Daytona engineered 3 different shell sizes so that every head size gets a proportionate fit. Small heads get a small shell. No oversized dome, no mushroom look.
Built for All Day Comfort
The interior is custom formed for comfort, with moisture wicking fabric that keeps your head cooler on hot rides. The nylon Y strap retention system has a sliding adjuster to dial in your fit, and the quick release lock opens with one finger when you pull up at the diner. Nickel plated rolled tubular steel rivets and a clear lacquer finish round out the build quality you can see and feel.

Find Your Fit
Daytona helmets run true to size with a slim profile. Measure around your head just above the eyebrows and use the size chart below. If you are between sizes, most riders choose the snugger size since the liner breaks in slightly.

Rider Questions, Answered
Is this Daytona skull cap helmet DOT approved?
Yes. This helmet meets and exceeds DOT safety standard FMVSS 218. It is a genuine Daytona Helmets product, and Daytona is known for building the smallest DOT approved half helmets on the market.
Will it give me the mushroom head look?
No. The Slim Line design uses a sleek contoured shell that hugs your head. Daytona builds this model in 3 different shell sizes, so every size gets a proportionate low profile fit instead of one oversized shell.
How does Daytona sizing run and how do I pick my size?
Daytona helmets run true to size with a slim profile. Measure around your head just above the eyebrows and match it to the size chart on this page. Sizes run from 3XS to 4XL, one of the widest ranges of any DOT half helmet.
Is the visor removable?
Yes. The gloss black mini scoop visor snaps on and off in seconds, so you can ride with the visor for sun protection or remove it for a cleaner skull cap look.
What is included in the box?
You get the Daytona gloss black cap helmet, the removable snap on mini scoop visor, a free head wrap, and a cloth drawstring storage bag.
What keeps it comfortable on long rides?
The interior is custom formed for comfort and lined with moisture wicking fabric that keeps your head cooler and drier. The gloss shell is sealed with a clear lacquer finish.
How does the strap system work?
It uses a nylon Y strap retention system with a sliding adjuster, plus a quick release lock you can open with one finger. The hardware is finished with nickel plated rolled tubular steel rivets.
Can I wear sunglasses or goggles with it?
Yes. As a half helmet it leaves your face fully open, so it pairs naturally with sunglasses, riding glasses, or goggles.

Every order is covered by our 30 day guarantee. If the fit or the look is not right, contact us and we will make it right.
