I've been wearing a Daytona DOT helmet now. Its one of the smallest profile helmets I've seen out there. Best of all it is only a $50 helmet and very comfortable.

check out the ACCs. Still DOT, but way smaller than most.

I also tried on a Daytona, but I bought a new DOT half-helmet made by HCI for $69. It's the smallest, best looking DOT helmet I've ever tried on. I got a gloss black with a matte flame pattern.

I agree with tech2, I just bought a HCI 100 shorty and I like it alot. I have tried the skid lid and it has a mushroom look and so does the ACC, it is larger than the HCI as well. The HCI was only 49 bucks and it is dot.

Rotorhead - which helmet? [sm=smiley25.gif] where/how did you order? I don't see a 100 for 49 bucks on the site http://www.helmetcityinternational.com

I was going to order a Skid Lid traditional.

Just wanted to add that the Daytona worked for me. Police report stated that I went 20 feet in the air and left a 25 foot skid mark in the road from my helmet. May be a bit bigger then some - but I know it will work if I need it!

I'm gonna try the HCI DOT 100 - for $49.95 and free shipping

found it at https://www.bikerneeds.com

One of my bros has a carbonfiber and it's sweet - but I can see me dropping it in a parkinglot or something.

Let you all know if I stay with the HCI or move to the carbonfiber.

I just bought the HD carbon/kevlar helmet. It looks cool and is very light. Big Bonus---Vents. It was pricey $215.00 but well worth it. my .02
