Default best non-dot helmet

looking for a non dot helmet that isnt so tiny, what im saying is one that will come down to my eyebrows and down to my ears instead of sitting way up to, i just like the weight of these helmets and since we have a helmet law in alabama, this is best i can do, but love to ****** it off when i go to florida, also thinking about a biltwell 3/4 helmet, unless i cant find either of them dot approved that dont weight or cost a ton

They have one called Trooper II. It's a duplicate of a U.S. Military Helmet. I looks like it would fit the bill.

I recently got a 3/4 from Daytona Helmets for $60 and it's pretty good for a DOT approved helmet as far as not being such a mushroom on your head. The Builtwells are pretty nice for a novelty helmet, very light, comfy and they have some cool old school metal flake colors. Had a guy wreck in our group with one and it definitely helped him, by no means is it as safe as a DOT but it's better than one of those skid lid beanie types and sits pretty low on your head.

This will fit the bill and the one I use, with visor removed. Yes, it comes down to the eyebrow and just above the ear.

No helmet laws in florida... however the woman wanted me to wear a helmet... if I HAVE to wear one to shut her up... its not going to be just ANY helmet... so I wear this in summer months....


It has both a clear and smoked flip down visor... quite a few double takes at stoplights.

For winter riding I go with this




Kind of self explainitory fun huh?
