My Fulmer isn't to bad, but still a little bigger than I like. I'm thinking about picking up one of the Daytona's to try out. I got the wife the Outlaw T-72 and that thing is huge.

I like the look of the Daytona carbon fiber helmets and from the pics, it looks like they sit pretty low. Wish they were carried at retailers though. Hate to buy a helmet without trying it on

I wear a Daytona Hawk and it's definitely the best helmet I've tried, both from a looks and comfort perspective. It's very low profile for a DOT.

I normally wear a large but I had to get it in XL to fit, so I guess they run small. Highly recommended.

I just picked up a biltwell hustler. It is an old school looking helmet that is DOT and covers the ears to kill the road noise.

I still think it all depends on how big your head is.

Yes, a good buddy of mine bought one last summer. They look great. They fit like alot like the Biltwell gen 2 but are DOT.

I would like to find a DOT helmet that looks like a novelty helmet if you know what I mean.
The lowest-profile DOT I've found, and believe me I've looked, is the Outlaw polo.

Cheapest you'll find it is probably at Leatherup:
