   I like this one in particular though. The flames just kill it. I wish companies would start looking at simpler designs…it’s ok though. I like my hjc. Thanks.

   in today’s age it’s not just about meeting the minimum in safety. DOT and Snell approvals are a good start, but how does it compare to a Shoei or Arai in going beyond the standards?

   I’m not sure what you mean by “going beyond he standards”? A helmet can only be tested to a standard?

   i guess my question is can someone trust an icon helmet to protect their head based on it passing DOT and Snell safety standards alone?

   is there a difference in safety with companies like Shoei making claims that their safety comes from years of research and development designing helmets.

   It’s hard to say… The only thing we as consumers can go by is whether or not the helmet meets the standards.

   We have to then assume that any helmet that meets those standards, no matter the brand, will protect us.

   That said, I do stick with “name brand” helmets because I feel they’d have more to lose if they cheated the system.

   Icon makes very high quality gear so I have no fears about their helmets protecting me.

   “very high quality gear?”

   what about the shield popping off one of the icon helmets while riding that i read on the website? that doesn’t sound like high quality.

    Problems like that can happen with any brand. I’ve had more problems with Arai helmets than any other, and they consistently get the top JD Power ratings, so go figure.

    i use an old shoei now, but my next helmet will probably be a icon, even though are hard to get here in romania. also like the gloves from them but i wouldn’t trade them for my alpinestars…
