Daytona Helmets Novelty Eagle

Before I ordered this helmet I ordered a $35 Chinese knock off. Where to begin... the strap was positioned wrong, the buckle was cheap plastic that popped open under the slightest tension, and the shell was so flimsy I could collapse it with one hand. Then I ordered this helmet from Daytona and the difference is night and day. The strap is perfect and sturdy, the buckle is a higher quality plastic ratchet that feels both secure and easy to manipulate with one hand, and the shell is definitely sturdier. Now let's be completely clear, this helmet is definitely not DOT compliant and will do very little if anything to protect your head in the event of a crash. If you're surprised by this, then you really should do some more research about motorcycle safety gear, and probably reconsider whether or not you should be riding in the first place. That being said if you're looking for something to keep the cops happy in a helmet law state, and something with a low profile and lots of biker attitude, this is absolutely worth the extra 20 some bucks over the cheap Chinese crap. Also a note on fitment, I listened to the reviews and went one size up from my normal helmet size and it fits perfect. I wear a small in both Bell and Scorpion helmets and a medium fits perfect. Snug enough that it's not going anywhere but not so snug as to give me a headache when I snap it on. All said and done I love this new helmet and highly recommend it for its intended purpose. Slap a DOT sticker on the back and enjoy the ride!

for the $$ this is a nice little helmet. It is not DOT but it's still good quality. in other reviews I see people complain how the straps are over the ears, they are not bad, but a single strap would be better but not uncomfortable at all

Large size cups perfectly over medium baseball cap as liner. Back edge groove sits over cap's bill nicely. Great to have found this design. Was also looking at the polo vintage version, but this works better for me. Slim and compact for travel. Nice to use my own helmet when renting scooters on vacations. Very good quality as compared.. Cant find (or don't want to pay for) proper chin strap cover - so I DIY'd with a piece of black Italian leather, superglue and black sharpie.

The helmet is well made, it has very little padding a little more would be nice. my head is 23 5/8" according to there size chart I need a XL, it was way to big, I reordered the large and it is OK but I'm going to order the medium now just to see if it is a little more form fitting. I should have ordered 2 the first time.

Nice lite weight helmet that is well made !!
