The material used was thin and flimsy and the "D" rings were plastic. The fit was not that good, it felt as though the helmet was sitting on your head instead of your head being inside the helmt. Finally, this blew me away, when you run your hand over the helmet it was actually bumpy although not visually bumpy. I'm considering keeping my ACC. After seeing the Daytona it made me realize the ACC Carbon Fiber looked and felt like a gem. I must also say that HD helmets are also good quality but of course you get that mushroom effect.
Incidently, the Daytona gives the wearer a mushroom look too.
That's similar to my experience with the Daytona, and why I ended up with an HCI.
