Thanks in advance!!!

What shape is your head? Helmets can be round, oval, or intermediate oval. What is the Daytona? Will it fit your head shape? How wide is your jaw? a 3/4 can be loose or tight on the sides? Does the Daytona have replaceable cheek pads so it can be custom fit?

You should choose a helmet by the quality of protection and how it fits your head. A large round may fit a rounder head nicely, a large oval would put pressure on your forehead and be painful after a while. A helmet may fit your head nicely but the cheek pads can put painful pressure on your face. You need to try it on and wear it in the store for several minutes to really know.

MY two cents. Don't buy a helmet you can't try on. Leave it on for a few minutes to be sure it remains comfortable. In this area once you buy it you can't exchange it. Hope it works out.
