Daytona Skull Cap Helmet with Snake Skulls Graphics, DOT Half Helmet
This is the Daytona Skull Cap, widely known as the smallest DOT half helmet ever made, finished in matte black with white snakes and skulls artwork wrapping the shell. It is a genuine Daytona Helmets product, built in the USA tradition of low profile head protection that meets and exceeds DOT FMVSS 218 safety standards, with the certification mark right on the back of the shell.
Why riders choose Daytona
Most cheap half helmets sit on your head like a mushroom. Daytona solved that with a slim line shell design that hugs the head and a range of 3 different shell sizes, so a small head gets a small shell instead of extra padding inside a big one. The result is a skull cap that looks as low profile as a novelty lid while carrying real DOT certification.
Craftsmanship and comfort
The snakes and skulls graphics are sealed under a clear lacquer finish that shrugs off sun and scratches. Inside, a custom formed interior with moisture wicking fabric keeps your head cooler and more comfortable on long summer rides. The shell hardware is finished with nickel plated rolled tubular steel rivets.
Fit guidance
Daytona helmets run true to size. Measure around your head about one inch above your eyebrows and match the measurement to the size chart below. The fit should be snug all around without pressure points. With 7 sizes from 2XS to 2XL, this skull cap works for men and women alike.

Rider Questions, Answered
Is this helmet DOT approved?
Yes. This is a genuine Daytona Skull Cap that meets and exceeds DOT safety standards under FMVSS 218. The certification sticker is applied at the factory on the back of the shell.
Will it give me the mushroom head look?
No. The Daytona Skull Cap is built on a slim line shell that hugs your head, and Daytona makes it in 3 different shell sizes so you get a proportionate, low profile fit instead of one oversized shell padded down.
How do I pick my size?
Measure around your head about one inch above your eyebrows and match it to the size chart. Daytona helmets run true to size with a snug, custom formed interior. If you land between sizes, most riders take the size that feels snug without pressure points, since the liner settles slightly with wear.
What sizes are available?
This helmet comes in 7 sizes from 2XS to 2XL, so it works for both men and women.
Does it come with a visor?
No. This Snake Skulls version is the clean version without snaps or a visor, which keeps the artwork uninterrupted and the profile as low as possible.
What is the graphic like in person?
The snakes and skulls artwork is printed in white and grey over the black shell and sealed under a clear lacquer finish, so the graphics are protected from fuel splash, sun and scratches.
What keeps it comfortable on long rides?
The interior uses a moisture wicking fabric liner that pulls sweat away and keeps your head cooler, plus a custom formed fit that spreads pressure evenly.
How does the strap system work?
It uses a nylon Y strap retention system with a sliding adjuster and a quick release lock. You can pop it open with one finger while wearing gloves.
What is included in the box?
The helmet ships with a free head wrap and a cloth draw string storage bag, held together with nickel plated rolled tubular steel rivets on the shell.
What if it does not fit?
You are covered by our 30 day guarantee. If the size is wrong or you are not happy, contact us and we will make it right with an exchange or refund.
