Excellent product and service

Never bought icon before, but certainly would again! The visor is really large, and the visibility is great. The internal sun visor is effective and easy to use. It's not the lightest or the quietest lid you'll wear, but it's very comfortable. Excellent speedy service from sportsbikeshop as always!

Excellent fit, great features, great lid!!

Came from HJC IS-17. This was bought for the safety rating and design style I liked, on a shoestring budget. From the Icon I wanted the same - hi safety and good styling. What I got was AWESOME design, and a fit and safety "feel" that left me amazed that there could be so much difference between two similarly priced units. The retail price on both helmets isn't far off (180 ish HJC to 250 Icon) but the difference is like getting off an MT07, practical and safe, reliable etc, and jumping on a Ducati Diavel (yeah... that's my story) Finish, fit, comfort, presence all great. When you fight it on over your noggin it feels tight - but tight like it's part of your own skull. 7 hour ride and no heat spots or discomfort, out of the box. 3 weeks in and the fit is still perfect. Relaxed a little more but not like anything I've worn, feels almost custom fit. The vision is outstanding. Anti fog works well (pinlock better but I've tried, and managed to get a tiny bit of mist in cool conditions) The vents allow loads of air in, and loads of air out when open. When closed they shut out most of the breeze and with the low cut chin and good quality chin piece you can sit nice and comfy whilst pretending to be Predator. Or the Spartan chief. Pick your nerd route. The double D ring is a masterpiece - not reinvented but just so easy to use, even with my gloves on. The box comes with clear visor, dark tint visor and spoiler type thing to keep your head straight at speed and vent exhaust ports (allegedly) it certainly looks cool. Head wobble is actually low - sits lovely straight and true at high speed and my melon is fairly large. The last point to make - wind noise. Close the vents, reduces. Wear a neck/head piece over your ears, or plugs. The shape of the helmet is cut so the wind rushes up the back and around your ears, which sit close to the base of the helmet. Still quieter than my HJC, but I understand the wind noise comments. Doesn't detract from a 5 star rating though. Oh - sizing - DONT GO UP A SIZE!!! It is supposed to fit snug, and it is a squeeze to get on.

I chose well!

I knew I wanted a Shark helmet; it was just choosing which one! This lid is fab - super stealthy look, comfy, and plenty of protection too. I love the vents which can be opened or closed, and how you can remove the chin curtain. Definitely recommend this helmet, and Shark as a brand.
