Do some searching. We have gone round and round with this. Just keep in mind that a low profile skull cap helmet even if it's d.o.t. is still truly worthless as a helmet. The only true helmet is a DOT/ SNELL. Make sure you have plenty of life insurance and medical. Quality of life sucks when you can't scratch your nose let alone your ***.

A full-face that's 1/2 material? Hmm. Not for me, but it's your money.

This is season 3 for me and my Bell Rogue. These are among the most ridiculed of helmets. Anything different usually is,, . They take a bit of initial adjusting to get em to fit comfortably but are a great hat, particularly if you ride in the land of the armor piercing June Bug . I use the term hat advisedly. I spent well over a decade in one.

Trivia question: In which Mad Max movie was the Bell Rouge first seen? Was it Humongous that first wore it?

my head size is a couple sizes bigger than the wife's and my Daytona is smaller in size than her Bell Pit Boss, gotta cram hers into the side bags, mine slips right in.
