Icon Alliance Helmet

Icon has an excellent reputation in motorcycle gear and this helmet is towards the middle to budget end of the helmet market. As you can see it has some major vents on the top of the helmet. The helmet is extremely comfortable but then again helmets tend to be very subjective. The helmet does not possess the chin net that has become more popular. However you don't miss the net the airflow seems to not want to push debris or other items up into the helmet . The noise level in the helmet is soso, there isn't a massive amount of noise generated but it isn't the quietest helmet out there by a long shot. It is one of those helmets in which I would definitely recommend to wear earplugs to prevent hearing loss or damage to the ear in general. The wind noise gets extremely bad when you shoulder check which I expect to be caused by the large top vents.
The air circulation is good in the helmet and the visor locks into place when you put it all the way down which gives you a great deal of confidence when riding in the rain or on the highway in general.
The Helmet has all the certifications DOT FMVSS 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (EUROPE), SAI AS1698 (AUSTRALIA) & SG (JAPAN).

The Price around 165 CDN.
