    Wow, FINALLY a helmet manufacturer makes something way outside the norm! In today's video were taking a look at a new helmet Icon motorsports released called the Airflight. Im assuming because it looks like a fighter pilot helmet. We also touch on the motorcycle industry as a whole and how we need to start appreciating companies brave enough to try something new!

    I've ridden close to 5,000 miles in this helmet and I'll throw out my 2 cents:
    1. It's a pretty noisy helmet, which makes sense considering it's aimed at sport bike riders who want an aggressive look. I noticed with my Sena that it's actually harder to hear in this helmet because the included speaker cutouts don't push the earphones close enough to your ears, even with the risers installed too.
    2. Speaking of Sena, the sticky mount is your friend here. I'm currently using the clamp mount and it's a pain in the butt. The clamp mount pushes in the neck curtain and makes it a very tight squeeze which is uncomfortable taking on and off.
    3. One of the best feautures here is the ventilation. I had ridden so much in my previous helmet (year round) that I noticed I was breathing very shallowly during the cold months in order to avoid fogging up my visor. This helmet truly kills it with ventilation, providing awesome air flow and great venting/defogging year round.
    4. The field of view is awesome in this helmet and one of my other favorite features. You have a really great picture of what's happening in your peripherals as well as everything going on in front of you. By far one of the best full-faced helmets for vision.
    5. The color selection for shields is awesome and personally, what I consider a top selling point. This is a unique helmet and the huge variety of color schemes to invest in makes it even better. I rock a rubatone black with chrome visor and ALWAYS catch attention over the helmet. I will soon be purchasing the black visor too.
    6. The build quality is honestly great for a $250 entry level helmet. It feels very secure and premium in most areas for the price point. It's only ECE rated and not SNELL rated because it has a drop down visor, which disqualifies it from SNELL ratings. I personally think that it's stupid, but that's me.
    7. Swapping shields is actually really easy and takes all of two minutes when you get the hang of it. Plus, the drop down sun visor can complete the package when you need the extra protection.
    All in all, it's a great helmet. I could have bought something more expensive but the unique design was too fun to pass up. I'm not an Icon fanboy in the slightest but I'm genuinely happy to see a brand shoot for something new to add to the market.

    I'm not sure if he mentioned it but all of the visors, flip down visor, side clips, and rear wing are interchangeable. From airflite to airflite. The shell is also one size. Small heads get large padding, big heads get smaller padding etc etc. It's a great design. You can also take the visor off and use a dirt bike visor! And rock some goggles, goggles fit perfectly.

    It has way more air flow than I thought it would and it looks great.
    I was sweating my brains out on my H2 which is an insanely hot bike in the first place so getting more air was a welcomed change!
    I was even able to keep the visor down at most stop lights before having to lift if the light was very long.
    It is the closest color to my bike I have found and it fits good so far.

    I have this helmet. Love it. Only thing to really mention is that the top vents are worthless if the sun visor is up, I guess Icon thinks you only need them in bright conditions. A tinted main visor is awesome during the day but dangerous at night so bring your clear visor if you are actually riding, the quickmount is nice but I doubt it was designed to be switched out twice a day for years on. I find myself using the clear visor 2/3 of the time for this reason.
    Also the narrow fit means you need to size up. It also cramps your neck if you are riding in a crunched position as it was designed solely for upright riding.

      About 5 months now. Changed from an arai vector 2. Took a little used to the narrow shape, but once its "broken in" is an absolute dream helmet. And you hit the nail on the head with how quiet and aero it is (im on a z1k and have no issues with wind noise or aero). I got the matte black with dark tint shield. First icon purchase but wont be the last :D

      Ece ratings is more strict that Snell if I remember right

    • @crocketgsxr6
      @crocketgsxr6 Před 5 lety +15

      Ece is recognized world wide, so it is still really good. Dot and Snell are just American standards. Plus Ece is much stricter and does batch testing BEFORE the model leave the factory, where as Dot does random samples. Snell is independent and they test before they go out then test randoms sample off shelves after. Both Snell and ECE are pretty strict and equal in the testing the manufactures have to apply for testing. But Snell is also considered the Old standard in favor of denser / heaver helmets for impact while ECE is more in favor of lighter stronger ones. Plus as mentioned Snell doesn't rate modular helmets but ECE does. pretty much you want Snell or ECE(both are extremely debated)

    • @C0revette789
      @C0revette789 Před 5 lety +13

      Yeah, ECE is not shit compared to Snell. Snell isn't an additional American standard, it's internationally recognized and independent of state governments. It's very easy to game ECE for a certification because of fixed impact points, and Snell dosen't certify drop-down visors because they shatter and the gap in the EPS liner causes most to fail the impact testing at one of the most important parts of the helmet. Snell also does not certify the modular helmets because they can choose impact points and all tested failed impact protection at the hinges and deflection of the chinbar. Snell is primarily a certification for motorsport, which is why silly shit like modular helmets and internal visors are considered too great a risk, and they won't put their name on it. If Snell favors Denser/Heavier than so does ECE, both having impact standards of 275Gs. Snell just makes sure it can take that from anywhere.

Had to buy a quick release since I cant snap the chin strap anymore. Also, the drop down sunglasses definitely need to be darker I feel. With both a tinted visor and the sunglasses the sun is still as bright as always and barely has an affect I feel.
