Icon Helmets have been called radical and innovative, especially considering that the company is relatively new to the market. These motorcycle helmets combine a sophisticated street style with innovative designs. Their website is also cutting edge, as it offers an in-depth and very high tech preview of each of their helmets' features. Icon Helmets, according to some helmet experts, are primarily aimed at the United States market and are not available in other parts of the world. Icon Helmets is a part of Parts Unlimited, which also carries other non-Icon helmet accesories in brands of AMS, Arctiva, Arlen Ness, Moose Racing, The Slippery, Thor MX, and Z1R.

Notable Features Of Icon Helmets

Some of Icon's best products include models like the Icon Alliance Solid SS, the Icon Mainframe Solid Gloss, the Icon Alliance Battlecry, and the Icon Domain Rubatone. The website reports on all the features of the Icon helmet through an interactive Flash Player preview. For example, consider the the Halo Gloss Mainframe, starting from top to bottom. At the top the helmet offers a super-vent Venturi cooling system; as we move down with the arrow key to the second point of interest, we see that the helmet also has a secondary ram-air forehead vent. The shell is made of a gloss finish, and the polycarbonate 7-position shield offers safe, clear vision and an easy replacement system that does not require tools and assembly. The helmet has removable cheek pads and ear pockets that can accept speakers or radio communication devices. A removable breath deflector helps keep your vision clear and reduces fogging. Icon helmets also have an internal chin exhaust switch that can be turned on or off, to control escaping air and further prevent fogging.

The Icon Scorpion Helmet uses a composite blends of fiberglass and Dyneema for an ultra lightweight design, that does not sacrifice safety. It also is equipped with an EPS chin bar, dual density liner, ram-air vents and a super-vent cooling system, and the innovative Fusion finish that has custom made Icon graphics. You can also get Icon helmet gear and additional accessories, such as Icon helmet shields, and Icon helmet locks from authorized dealers and other online sources.

Icon Helmet Review

The Icon motorcycle helmet line has received generally good reviews with a few questionable marks for its chin vent system. Many online dealers offer free shipping on their Icon motorcycle helmets. How is this possible? Because a majority of vendors offer free shipping on orders over $100.00. Icon Helmets are usually priced above $150.00. (The suggested retail price of the Halo model is $235.00) Icon Helmets are among the most innovative products in motorcycle helmets and provide comfort and style to the experienced racer.
