Daytona Hawk DOT Half Helmet in Hi Gloss Black
If you have been searching for a DOT half helmet that does not make you look like a mushroom, the Daytona Hawk is the answer. Its slim line design features a sleek, contoured shell that hugs your head, giving you genuine D.O.T. FMVSS 218 certified protection in one of the lowest profiles legally possible. The deep hi gloss black finish with clear lacquer coat looks sharp on any cruiser, bagger or custom build.
Why Riders Choose Daytona Helmets
Daytona Helmets is a genuine American helmet brand trusted by riders for decades. Their specialty is exactly this: real DOT certified motorcycle helmets with the slimmest shells on the market. The Hawk carries that reputation with premium hardware, including nickel plated rolled tubular steel rivets, and a custom formed interior built for all day comfort.
Built for Comfort on Long Rides
The moisture wicking fabric liner keeps your head cooler and drier in hot weather, while the custom formed interior spreads pressure evenly so there are no hot spots after hours in the saddle. The nylon Y strap retention system with sliding adjuster locks in a secure fit, and the quick release lock opens with one finger, so no fumbling with buckles at the gas station.
