Any major difference between a skull cap and half shell?
I have a half shell and a FF and have listened to some riders mention a skull cap. What if any is the difference between a half shell and a skull cap?

Most of the scull caps I've seen aren't DOT approved.

As jbg pointed out, the skull caps are non-dot. They also don't catch as much wind as the DOT halfers. You can also refer to the skull caps as a beanie helmet, pi$$ bucket, skid lid, peanut shell, etc.

The skull caps make you look like an eraser head.

a skull cap is about 2 inches smaller than a half helmet and non-DOT, has minimal padding and is as close to not wearing a helmet as you can get....
