I was disappointed when I got the "Skid Lid" brand helmets I ordered for my GF & I. I was thinking they would be much more like my novelty helmet than my other 1/2 helmets, (as this would be my third different half helmet that I own). Mine was pretty much identical to my other two halfs, which also gave me the slight mushroom look. I can't remember the other two brands.....One was from the HD dealership, and the other was a gift from an ex-GF.
You must have gotten in on them before they realized they were made wrong. Early versions of those were DOT but didnt have the correct thickness padding and were small, very novelty like. The newer ones are big and bulky. I tried ordering one just as they started correcting the error hoping to get and early model but the one i recieved was just as big and mushrooming as my harley half.
Uh oh.. i ordered my 1st two maybe a year ago... i just ordered another one 4 or 5 days ago.. I should have it on friday.. if they changed the padding and made it bigger im gonna send it back.. thanks for the heads up...
No such thing as a good looking DOT half helmet, it does not exist. Best you can do for a half shell is a skullcrush (pictured), if you need DOT, just get a 3/4 or FF.
I wear my Bell Star FF most of the time, but enjoy the skullcrush half lid when it gets real hot.

I like my helmet, as seen in my sig. I got mine from a local Honda dealership. It started out a pearl white which matches my 02 but it got scratched up so I repainted it black. I think I paid about $40 for it a few years ago.
