Icon airframe helmet


By pollposition - Posted on 03 June 2008

I purchased an Icon Airframe helmet and I have to say that it combines the best of style and features with a fair price. It is both DOT and SNELL certified.

The graphics are amazing! I have the Seventh Seal version that looks like a scene out of doom2.

The venting system has fins and a spoiler on the back, it has a basic chin vent and an air splitter on the breath guard to guide the air coming in.

The shell is deep enough to cover your chin giving you that extra sense of security.

One of the really cool things is that the cheek pads can be custom fitted to suit your size - as Icon sells an entire set of both thinner and thicker cheek pads for the Airframe.

The liner fabric is comfortable and is made of Icon's "HydraDry" material which is supposed to wick away moisture. The fabric covers the entire shell and there are no bare surfaces inside the helmet.

Like the customizable cheek pads the helmet's visor can be swapped out for various tinted visors.

Overall I would rate this helmet a 9/10
