Icon helmets (and others)

[rac3r]

Any good? They have some cool designs, really like their bioskull one. Does compare to the likes of Shoei?

I saw some on a cheap-ish site earlier, I've liked them for a while.

Think Iain has am Airmada or something along those lines, its a little heavier than mine, but looks good all round.

Good as most I quite like some of their helmets [and gear for that matter]. A few of the uber-patriotic american designs are a bit much but generally quite nice kit.

Be careful if you're ordering from US sites because of potential import charges - not always as cheap as it appears to be on the face of things.

IMO I think the finish of them are a bit cheap for the price.

I think they're an ameri-fag company and people just pay for 'the brand'. I know; like most bike gear.. but this just screams it even more IMO!

I like this from Shark but I dunno how the protection would compare to a proper full face

Looks pretty much a full face - just with goggles instead of a visor.

Main thing i'd be worried about is maybe the wind noise/buffeting on the goggles if you're going fast, doesn't look majorly aerodynamic

If you do get it though - it must be in green, and worn with space-marine armour

I've been using an Icon Variant for about three years now. Looks awesome but its heavy, noisy as hell and catches the wind really bad. Despite the price is does feel a bit cheap. As cool as they look I wouldnt buy one again.

I'd be scared of getting a Variant incase people thought I was copying chaseontwowheels (popular yank vlogger) or liked him in some way

Out of the main brands shark seem to be the only one with decent designs. All the others are boring as hell. I want an interesting design, bored of my usual red/white

What about buying a good quality plain lid and getting a custom paintjob?
