D.O.T. & ECE Daytona Viper- W/ Copperhead

Very nice helmet

I finally found a helmet that actually fits me. I have bought-and-returned a few, and only to find disappointment. I was just about at my wits end. Both Biltwell and Bell both have ignored those of us with long oval head profiles. Now, on to the review. Don't hesitate getting one of these, because if you're looking for a low profile DOT 3/4 helmet, look no further. I used to hate the liner in Daytona helmets, when they first came out. But, they've definitely improved over the years. The liner is very comfortable and the noise level is a little better than my old Biltwell. The weight is minimal, and the metal flake is very even, and has just the slightest bluish tint to it (in the sunlight). Looks nice. I only have one complaint, and that is the ratchet strap. HEY Daytona, lose the stupid ratchet strap! D-rings are far and away better...and they have to be cheaper to install. The ratchet strap is easy enough to use, and buttons up okay, but I'd much rather have a D-ring....I can do them one handed. Overall, it's the best bang for the buck, without looking like Kazoo from the Flintstones.

It's a good helmet, lovely design 😊

Giving it a good rating because it seems like a pretty nice helmet. I really liked the fit and the look of the helmet (ordered the rootbeer finish and it looked great in person) but man, it made me look like a character from Spaceballs. It seemed to look pretty good and low-profile on other folks in the review photos. Maybe I just have a weird head. I think at this point I just have to accept that no DOT 3/4 helmet is going to look right on me. I returned it almost immediately.

Fit and finish are top notch. Love it

I love this helmet! I love how light & comfy, even wearing it after long rides. I love the fit & quality. The only thing missing is a visor, other than that I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Love this helmet with patriotic theme

The helmet looks as good as the pictures, and seems well made, but I couldn't get anything to snap on the three shield snaps in front. I tried a couple of face shields and I couldn't force any of them to snap on. Even the helmet visor that came with it wouldn't snap on it! I've owned a lot of open face helmets over the decades and never had this issue before. I don't know where they get their helmet snaps, but its not where everyone else does! If you don't use a 3-snap face shield, then it's probably fine for your. Otherwise, it was a bit snug for XXL, and I normally wear an XL, but it would break in some and be fine. It also had a nice quick release strap latch, but the non-functional shield snaps were a deal breaker. I had to send it back and got a similar Biltwell helmet, which snapped on a face shield just like it's supposed to.

I've been using Daytona helmets from the time I have started riding. Be it full face, open face and now skull cap. The quality has never disappointed.
