sorry don't have any pics with them on but IMO,

Daytona Half helmets are good and not huge and are DOT and if you like 3/4 helmets at all, Bell Custom 500 or RC series as well as Fulmer 3/4 helmets are the closest fitting to the head imo.

this thread has some pictures with the 3/4 helmets on I believe.

And for a guy whos been on since 07, you are a little sensitive, especially since I wasn't talking to you.


No, you were talking to me. But I don't often feel the need to waste my time responding to Dic Heads.....I'm too Lazy! Oh and thanks for the repost!

I'm not worried about getting in touch with my sensitive side, because I don't have one! Not worried about what I look like either, its a comfort thing for me. I guess I should rephrase my post as well. Thanks for the search.

I'm seeing more and more of the old style glitter paint helmets around town here.

I just bought the Vega XTS Naked Carbon Fiber Half Helmet and its supposed to be one of the smaller half helmets but I look like a mushroom in it.

My local dealer sells that as well. I tried it but found the lining hard as hell?? I have been looking at the ZOX old school on line, but its hard to tell from those pictures. Can't see how comfortable the inside is either. Anybody using one?

against my better judgment i'll post a pic of myself online, but a lot of folks recommend the Fulmer V2 and say it is small, i want to set the record straight on that, it's quite huge. this is a Fulmer V2 helmet 3/4 helmet which is about the same size as a Bell 500. you can see it is quite bulbous and not small at all.

sorry for the quality i took it on my phone but you can get an idea.

for a comparison i'm 5'11 190 lbs (i stopped weighing myself at 190, i wouldn't be shocked if i'm 2 bills now) and wear an XL helmet.

it's a comfortable helmet and stays in place so that's all i'm really looking for. a "cool" looking DOT helmet doesn't exist, just give up the search and find something comfortable.

Thanks for the bravery! I guess I might be concerned about the look afterall. I have been looking at the ZOX Biker and Old School styles. The Biker looks lower profile than the old School, but without a brave soul such as yourself placing their noggin inside, its hard to say!
Did I say Thanks?
