Daytona Skull Cap Helmet in Gun Metal Grey Metallic
The Daytona D.O.T Metal Grey Cap Helmet is a genuine DOT half helmet built by Daytona Helmets, a true American motorcycle helmet brand trusted by riders for decades. This is the famous Daytona skull cap helmet, known as the smallest DOT approved half shell helmet ever made. The slim line shell hugs your head and finally puts an end to the mushroom look that ruins most half helmets.
The gun metal grey metallic finish is sealed under a clear lacquer coat, so it keeps that deep metal flake shine season after season. A removable gloss black mini scoop visor snaps on and off in seconds, letting you switch between a clean cap profile and classic cruiser style.
Why Riders Choose a Daytona DOT Half Helmet
Plenty of half helmets look small but skip real certification. This one meets and exceeds D.O.T. safety standard FMVSS 218 while staying remarkably low profile. Daytona achieves that with three separate shell sizes instead of one bulky shell padded out, so every head size gets a proportionate fit that looks right on the bike.
Comfort That Lasts All Day
Inside, a custom formed interior with moisture wicking fabric keeps your head cooler and drier on long summer rides. The nylon Y strap retention system with sliding adjuster locks the helmet in place without pressure points, and the quick release buckle opens with one finger at every stop.
Built With Real Hardware
Nickel plated rolled tubular steel rivets and quality stitching hold this helmet together. It is the kind of construction you notice every time you pick it up.
Fit and Sizing
Daytona helmets run true to size with a slim profile. Measure around your head about one inch above the eyebrows and match it to the size chart. With sizes from 3XS to 4XL and three shell sizes across the range, riders with smaller or larger heads finally get a half helmet that fits properly instead of floating or squeezing.

Rider Questions, Answered
Is this Daytona helmet really DOT approved?
Yes. This is a genuine Daytona Helmets product that meets and exceeds D.O.T. safety standard FMVSS 218. It is a certified DOT half helmet, not a novelty cap.
How low profile is it compared to other half helmets?
Daytona builds this as the smallest DOT approved half shell helmet ever made. The slim line shell design hugs your head and eliminates the mushroom look common with other certified half helmets.
Does Daytona run true to size?
Yes, Daytona helmets run true to size with a slim profile. Measure around your head about one inch above the eyebrows and match your measurement to the size chart on this page.
