Icon helmet

[ditchdoc1017]

I am looking at one of the New 06 ICON - Hooligan Mainframe Helmet.It retails for around 250.I can get it from my local shop for 180.I love the look does anyone have one also do they cut the wind noise down.I also was wondering about there sizing I wear a Lg in my Flumer are they sized about the same.

I have an enormous head..
Their helmet fits me very well...

It is a bit noisy, I've been happy with the quality
(I've had my Alliance for a year)

I would suggest you go to a store and try one on...different helmets are made differently and fit differently...So your Fulmer may fit one way but the Icon may not be as comfortable...check one out and then lay down the $$...I've heard that the Icons have quite a bit of wind noise...but I have never owned one so I couldn't tell you...

I would def. suggest tryin it on. you may be able to estimate your size and get close, but its much better to try it on so you know you got the best size. I've also heard that the icons can be noisy. its one of the main reasons i went with my scorpion intead of a mainframe.

The Scorpion is a nice helmet for the price too.
I just couldn't fit into it

icon has stepped up their quality and design w/ the 06 models of lids. Ive been impressed with them from the people I talk to that use them.

I just got a KBC VR-2 for a bit less than the Icon helmet I was thinking about getting...and I'm real glad I went with the KBC instead. Its much lighter, not much wind noise, and there is more of a variety of styles to choose from. The only thing (which I heard Icons do also) is fogs up pretty easily. But for the price, I would definately say that the KBC is a better helmet to buy.

Is this your first KBC helmet to purchase?

reason I ask is my experience w/ them has always been alot of wind noise so Im curious as to your results as well..

I can get a good deal on KCB's.

Actually it is my first KBC that I've owned. My boy had a VR-1 that I used for a while, and that one was kind of noisy, but I got the VR-2 and it has much less noise than the VR-1. For the price I'd say the KBC would be the best helmet to get.

Thanks spliff, I always like to get others reactions to see if it matches what I have found out.
