There is another shaded visor built-in to the helmet, which is easy to retract or put down when you want to ride with the main visor up. Icon also makes other visors that will fit this lid if you want to dial it back a bit.Ī clear visor is fine, and there is no need for adding tinting other than style. You can improve the look by replacing the clear visor for iridium or a tint. The visor is larger than it needs to be and plays more of a style roll than that of function. And the larger vent at the chin pushes air through from the visor into the helmet for which there are three airflow rates. There is a small rear spoiler to help with turbulence, and this also encourages the flow of air through the rear air vents.
And to keep the EPS together, a polycarbonate shell, which also keeps the weight down. Impact protection comes from an EPS foam, which is injection molded into the shell of the helmets for the greatest level of foam consistency. > Read also our guide to the best modular motorcycle helmets This is a protective layer that pulls moisture away and encourages airflow in towards the skin. The removable helmet liner is a fast-wicking material that ICON call HydraDry™. The end of the strap loops back on itself and snaps onto a push-button above the D-ring, to ensure that it will not pull through. Protection begins with a double D-ring chin strap, not fast but known to be the most reliable way to secure a helmet.
