Definitely agree with you. The store I saw one at only had it in an XXL and it actually looked really good on. I'm sure a Lg will look even better. Very comfortable too. Maybe it's just some people's heads. I'm ordering one in black with the American Flag on it in a Lg and can't wait to get it. Find a store that carries them and I bet you won't be disappointed.

another +1 on the Daytona. for a DOT helmet the inside foam layer is very thin.

In Terrms of the Fulmer V2 vs the Daytona Cruiser, any personal preferences, or even better, pics? Very interested to see if either looks not so huge when on. I hear that the Daytona is pretty low profile in tyerms of shell size, but I sure do like that new Bobber Green that the Fulmer comes in!!

Also curious how the fit is on either. I take a small in Icon full face helmets, as well as HJC 3/4 and Arai full face, but some 3/4 and 1/2 helmets in the same numeric size range are a bit too loose(like Outlaw helmets).

I rode yesterday to conneticut to go get the fulmer helmet. I ended up getting the black one with the white stripe and us flag. This helmet is cool its light weight and is not thick at all. I bought an xl normally wear a Lg. I held it next to a sm hjc and the hjc outer diamater was about 2 inches bigger!
Looks really good! nice and low profile and old school. glad I got it.

The CS-5n may be more of what you are looking for though...

The HJC CS-5N was what I was wearing when I went down last thursday, it did its job. The 09 verson is now Snell approved, a tougher test than DOT. Available most everywhere for 60-70 bucks, you can't beat it.
