@Big_D - Thanks man! I wonder if I should install a WarHawk for it? haha!

@TheSleeper - You mean the warhawk?
yer the warhawk you should get it
looks like it needs a clean
Personally not keen on it, looks like a normal helmet that’s trying to be an mx helmet.
But as long as you like it that’s all that matters
I’m no expert, but riding offroad in Aus, I noticed the peak of the MX helmet tended to pull the helmet back. It was a little uncomfortable at 40mph or so, must be much worse at 70. Though this was a loan helmet that didn’t fit perfectly.
Nice helmet. I love Icon stuff and have had my eye on this for a while. Thanks for being the guinea pig :)
@Von - Yeah I was worried about wind drag at higher speeds and it’s mostly noticeable when you turn your heads but I guess you get a little of that with a regular helmet.
This guy does a great review on it:
@Jay - Thanks man, I’ve had my eye on it for ages too but finally decided to bite the bullet. If it doesn’t work out - sell it and buy a regular helmet.
+1 to AGV
Anywhere in London you can try icon helemts on, thinking of getting an icon Airmada as a second lid ?? my HJC is getting on, 5 years 'ish.
Curious .Have you actually tried one on to see if it fits or just purely based purchase on its reviews and aesthetics
@TimR - The place I’ve purchased the helmet from is fine with sending it back if it doesn’t fit right or a refund within 60 days. As for why I purchased it - because I like it
@timebandit - Not the biggest fan of AGV helmets, weird shape! Shark are quite cool and I know they fit very well.
