Motorcycle Helmet Styles Explained

Modular Helmets

Modular motorcycle helmets combine full face protection with a flip-up chin bar, so you can talk, drink or get some air at a stop without taking your helmet off. The Daytona C6 modular helmet is certified to both DOT and ECE 22.06 and comes with an anti-fog shield and a drop-down sun visor.

Full Face Helmets

Full face helmets give the most complete coverage, protecting your head, chin and face while reducing wind noise at highway speed. Popular choices include the dual-visor Daytona Detour and the vintage-styled Daytona Retro.

Open Face Helmets

Open face (3/4) helmets cover the top, back and sides of your head while leaving your face open for visibility and airflow. The Daytona Cruiser is a classic choice for cruiser and touring riders.

Half Helmets

Half helmets are the lightest, lowest-profile option, ideal for cruisers, choppers and scooters. The Daytona Skull Cap gives you that close-fitting beanie look while still meeting the DOT standard.

DOT and ECE Certification

Every helmet we sell meets the US DOT FMVSS 218 safety standard. Select models, including the Daytona C6 and Daytona Glide, are also certified to ECE 22.06, one of the most demanding helmet standards in the world. Helmet rules vary by province and country, so check which standards are accepted where you ride.

How to Find the Right Helmet Size

Measure around your head about one finger-width above your eyebrows, then compare the measurement with the sizing details on the product page. A correctly sized helmet feels snug all around with no pressure points and should not roll forward or backward when you move your head. Riders with larger heads can shop our 3XL and 4XL helmets, and our guide on how to choose the right motorcycle helmet covers fit in more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which type of motorcycle helmet is the safest?

Full face and modular helmets cover the most of your head and face, including the chin, so they offer the most coverage. Whatever style you choose, make sure it carries a recognised safety certification and fits correctly.

What is the difference between DOT and ECE helmets?

DOT is the US Department of Transportation standard, and ECE 22.06 is the European standard. Helmets certified to both, such as the Daytona C6, have passed both sets of testing.

How often should I replace my motorcycle helmet?

Replace your helmet after any crash or significant drop, even if it looks fine, as the protective liner may be compressed. Many manufacturers also recommend replacement roughly every five years. Our helmet care guide explains how to keep your helmet in good condition.

Which helmet style is right for me?

It depends on how and where you ride. Read modular vs full face vs open face helmets for a side-by-side comparison.
