YMMV... I've tried several half helmets. my buddies kid me that I've got a helmet fetish... just searching for 'the one'. I've tried HJC, Vega, Daytona, and an ACC novelty. Wore the ACC novelty for several years, but it's pretty worn out and needed to be replaced. the others were all advertised as being small but were not, and sat on my shelf most of the time. a couple weeks ago I picked up a Skid Lid... I gotta tell you, I think THIS is the helmet I have been searching for... It's DOT, and I don't even know it's on my head when I'm wearing it. but thats MY experience, and like I said, YMMV.

I found it for 32.95 on Amazon.com from Jafrum... flat black.

I like it so much that I had it pinstriped in gloss black last weekend... dang pinstriping cost more than the dang helmet... lol.

Thanks so much - I'll check it out. I'm the same way - I'm looking for "the one" as well. Thanks again!

Trust me its the Daytona. How do I know? Right now I am the proud owner of 5 helmets. I kept buying until I found one that fit.
