Daytona Skull Cap Helmet with Inner Shield, a DOT Half Helmet Built for the Open Road
This Daytona skull cap helmet gives you the smallest legal profile you can get in a DOT half helmet with a built in drop down shield. The soft touch dull black finish keeps the look clean and understated, while the retractable inner smoke shield drops over your eyes in one motion to cut sun glare and wind without goggles or sunglasses. It meets and exceeds D.O.T. FMVSS 218, so you get real certified protection in a low profile motorcycle half helmet that does not make you look like a mushroom.
Why Riders Choose Daytona Helmets
Daytona Helmets is a genuine American helmet brand that has specialized in DOT approved half helmets for decades. Every shell is engineered to sit tight and low on the head, and every helmet is certified to meet and exceed the federal FMVSS 218 safety standard. When you buy a Daytona, you get real protection with the classic cruiser look riders actually want to wear.
Built In Smoke Shield, No Goggles Needed
The scratch resistant inner shield retracts fully inside the shell when you do not need it. Flip it down at speed and you get instant eye protection with a smoke tint that improves visibility on bright days. Because the shield lives inside the helmet, there are no exterior snaps and no visor on this model, keeping the outside completely smooth and clean.
Comfort That Lasts All Day
The interior is lined with moisture wicking fabric that keeps your head cooler in summer heat and comfortable on chilly rides. A nylon Y strap retention system with a sliding adjuster holds the helmet planted at highway speed, and the quick release lock opens with one finger when you pull up.
Fit and Sizing Guidance
Because of the inner shield mechanism, this model is not part of Daytona's slimmest line, but it still wears far lower and tighter than typical department store half helmets. Measure your head circumference just above the eyebrows and match it to the size chart below. If you land between sizes, most riders prefer the snugger fit since the liner breaks in with wear. This helmet is available in sizes XS, M, L and XL.

Rider Questions, Answered
Is this helmet really DOT approved?
Yes. This Daytona skull cap helmet meets and exceeds the federal D.O.T. FMVSS 218 safety standard. It is a genuine certified motorcycle helmet, not a novelty lid.
How does the inner smoke shield work?
The scratch resistant smoke shield is built inside the shell. Slide it down over your eyes for instant sun and wind protection, and retract it fully back into the helmet when you do not need it.
Does this helmet come with an outside visor?
No. This model has a completely smooth shell with no exterior snaps and no outside visor. Your eye protection comes from the built in retractable inner shield.
How do I pick the right size?
Measure your head circumference just above the eyebrows and match it to the size chart on this page. If you fall between sizes, most riders choose the snugger size because the liner breaks in with wear. This model comes in XS, M, L and XL.
Does it fit low profile like other Daytona helmets?
It wears much lower and tighter than typical half helmets, though it is not part of Daytona's slimmest line because the retractable shield needs room inside the shell.
Will it stay comfortable on long rides?
Yes. The liner uses moisture wicking fabric that keeps your head cooler in the heat and comfortable on cold rides, and the smooth dull black finish keeps weight and bulk down.
How does the chin strap work?
It uses a nylon Y strap retention system with a sliding adjuster plus a quick release lock. One finger on the release lever detaches it when you stop.
What is included with the helmet?
You get the helmet with the inner smoke shield installed, plus a free head wrap and a cloth draw string bag for storage.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30 day money back guarantee. If the fit or style is not right, contact us and we will make it right.
How fast is shipping?
Orders are processed quickly and shipping is free. You will receive a tracking number by email as soon as your helmet ships.
