It's awesome to see another company picking up MIPS technology. I'm pretty skeptical about a lot of the proprietary rotation protection systems helmet manufacturers are releasing, so kudos to Icon for going with MIPS. I think it's absolutely worth the ~$70 premium. My only gripe is that it only comes in black. Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome. But I'm a big fan of bright helmets for visibility. A white on black color option would have been right up my alley.
The only thing I would of wanted to be improved from this helmet is the fact in winter your hot breath on the visor at the bottom creates condensation that goes up to the eyes eventually and it fogs up real fucking quick despite being far away from your mouth and nose. I had to buy a new helmet because I couldn't make it through the winter season as I had to ride with the visor cracked slightly open even at 70mph speeds. It should not be fogging at 70mph.
I have a light smoke pinlock silver visor and dark smoke dropdown. But the roads when you need a faceshield are plenty bright enough year round. and it's my pfp.
Had couple or so issues with the old model. 1) Straps was not actually mounted on the shell and when I got mine, strap broke lose. The way it was connected to the helmet, I would not have trusted that helmet in case of a crash. 2)Not sure what head shape I have, but seller 3x/4x sent me diff sizes till' we got the largest size available, still won't go in all the way in. Icon said back then they only make for one type of head shape for Airflite :( . I want this bad boy but not sure if they've made any changes to it.
The regular Airflite is marked as a Long Oval... this is Intermediate oval? Or is the original wrong? I sent back the regular Airflite because it caused to much pressure on the front of my head and cheekbones.
I also thought so, and I also returned the airflite for the same reason, but checking their official website, it says intermediate oval for this one specifically. Maybe they changed it?
Long oval, and with the MIPS you get almost zero airflow through the top vents. I also find that there is a lot of wind noise coming in around the left ear, to the point where my ears are ringing if I don't have earplugs in.
Thank you for the review. Nice-looking helmet. From what I understand Snell won't give a certification to a helmet with an internal eye visor. What I would like to know is if a helmet does not pass SNELL, then why not? If this did not have the internal eye Shield, then would it get Snell certified?
I'm a small buld guy and most helmets I look at make my head feel huge like a alein head and just wondering if this helmet wouldn't make it feel like that ?
Any universal unit will work on the side just like most other helmets. We'd recommend an adhesive mount, but you could make it so a clamp-style works just fine. A lot of customers have already installed them on the Airflite and you can find plenty of examples via Google.
So I’m a new rider or planing on to be one. I’m getting my license in about a few weeks. This helmet doesn’t come with Bluetooth...but will it be adaptable or can be added? Recommend a certain helmet?
I bought the previous version. I like it. But it’s fit is TIGHT. You’ll have chipmunk cheeks for the first few days. The biggest issue with this helmet is the weight. Adding another ounce makes that even worse. I bought it cause it looks great doesn’t have crazy graphics and is a decent safe helmet in the 250-300 range here in the states. I cannot recommend buying your first helmet in a shop enough. It’s like buying shoes. Just cause it’s a size 10 doesn’t mean it’s a size 10
MIPS is typically a bright yellow liner on the interior which is a dead giveaway. Also, the MIPS logo will be on the back of the helmet and all over the name / product page / description, etc.
It would not. You would likely experience pain and pressure points at the sides of your head above the temples given the difference between your head shape and the internal of this helmet.

Just got it, and one small thing to consider for those of you who like to use the helmet bag that comes in the packaging to carry the helmet around when not on the bike - the bag that comes with this particular helmet is terrible. Not sure about other Icon helmets, but this one just looks and feels like a grocery store bag and the end is not even looped correctly. Compared to a AGV K1 bag and considering that the K1 is like half the price is really strange that they skimped on something so useful (at least for me). Other than that and waiting for like 6 months to get this in stock in Bulgaria, the helmet seems solid and what sealed the deal for me was the Mips tech.
@@masonhock6442 I could be wrong, the last I checked was years ago. But you used to be able to choose not to monetize your own videos which would mean no ads.
@@rosemont5339 RUclips just changed it to where it auto-monetizes videos and you have to manually deselect for each video. RUclips even set it so that a bunch of old videos the channel owner doesn't want to monetize were remonetized. So basically, it's more of a hassle for the creator.
Because we tried it on and tested the fit. It does lean towards the Long Oval side of the spectrum, but still within the Intermediate Oval area for most riders out there. Don't always believe what you read on the internet - try it on and see how you like it for yourself.
@@RevZilla yeah problem is no one sells these in my country which is a pain, as I really like this style and have a long oval head shape, so most helmets are a bit loose in the sides.

“There is a lot of information about that as well.” That’s pretty void of value. It’s a less direct way of saying “if you care, look it up.” Anyone who would look it up doesn’t need to be told they can. And it is meaningless for anyone who won’t look it up. Finding even a single resource for the description would be the right way to handle that. Both in the product description and the video details. Getting the info once makes it available for all future references.
What makes me wonder is I ordered 2 tires from Revzilla, and got a coupon in the mail to have them installed at Cycle Gear . . . makes me wonder if they're under the same umbrella.
@@CincyNeid yep. Cycle Gear owns RevZilla. My comment was to highlight how much more personable and entertaining Anthony was compared to this new monotonic dude.

Can i fit if i am an round oval?
pro tip: you can watch movies on kaldroStream. Been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Alexzander Colten definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :D
Rotational protection is part of ECE 22.06 so from just about now on all new ECE approved helmets will have this kind of system
If you play at 1.5x speed, it feels like the old Anthony reviews
HOLY SHIII!!
Oh damn. You right😂
Putting it at 1.25x is actually so much better. Cant even tell its accelerated. At 1.5x you can though
That would also mean that Anthony would sound like this guy if you play his video's at 0,5 times the speed right?
Thomas van der Wijk seems legit to me 😂

Sticker bomb it like mine
70 dollars is that what you paid😮
@@diamondsinthedirt489no, +$70 for MIPS
Kinda funny that Mips are becomming a thing now in Helemts. Had it for years on my MBT Helmet and hell had it in my old Volvo from the 1989 :D

Pinlock is made for this exact reason
@@BeeRye88 there is a pinlock for this helmet? Please link as I tried searching it before.
What's the logic in having a dark smoked screen AND a dark drop-down visor?
Icon will be Icon 😂
@kiki the gerbil Might be useful under whiteout conditions. ;)
I wear sunglasses under a dark smoke visor. The visor by itself isn't usually dark enough on the highway.
I have a light smoke pinlock silver visor and dark smoke dropdown. But the roads when you need a faceshield are plenty bright enough year round. and it's my pfp.
My question exactly. I have a sun visor for when it's sunny, but at 6am or 10pm, I have to what, ride with the visor open?
You're too chill man, next time shotgun like 5 monsters then turn the camera on

Put on your dark glasses, drop down the dark visor, slide the dark smoked screen and you are good to go.

Can you do at least a bump of coke before you start or do some pcp I want my reviews from revzilla as fast and wiry as possible
I've been saying Adam from revzilla & brian from stg sound like they've been hopped up on some good shit for years.🤣🤣
Gotta start hitting some pre-workout, followed with a shot of red bull to take the edge off before filming to get the full Anthony experience
Bought one in local store. There is 2mm gap between visor and rubber seal on the top half. I will return. Check it out, guys.
You said it was an intermediate oval. Your website says long oval.

Is it quiet helmet, or too loud. Thx 😊
Icon should add a blue tooth like the ruroc!!!!
Agreed love the shockwave system. It’s hidden
Had a shoei helmet size XL, got this exact helmet XL and I need to go up a size, way too tight.
If you play at .5 speed, this dude sounds like he just smoked a hefty bag of skunk!
You're so goofy, bro!!! 😂😂😂 I'm dead
Amazing design so futurustic like robot from the future.
But how do you put Bluetooth on this helmet?
Any universal unit will work on the side just like most other helmets. We'd recommend an adhesive mount, but you could make it so a clamp-style works just fine. A lot of customers have already installed them on the Airflite and you can find plenty of examples via Google.
@@RevZilla is there any tutorial videos showing how to put it on the helmet by any chance?
So I’m a new rider or planing on to be one. I’m getting my license in about a few weeks. This helmet doesn’t come with Bluetooth...but will it be adaptable or can be added? Recommend a certain helmet?
It can easily be added

Do all new versions of the airflite come with updated cheek pads?
I know that Bell is also using Mips for rotational protection but I'm curious what other brands are using. Anyone knows?
How can you tell if its a Mps vs regular one
MIPS is typically a bright yellow liner on the interior which is a dead giveaway. Also, the MIPS logo will be on the back of the helmet and all over the name / product page / description, etc.
what you think this one is better or peacekeeper?
Can I still mount a gopro on this helmet?
How is it to ride at night with the smoked shield?
Exactly like driving with sunglasses on at night. Not very safe.
would this be comfortable for someone who has a round shape head? since this is made for long oval shaped head.
It would not. You would likely experience pain and pressure points at the sides of your head above the temples given the difference between your head shape and the internal of this helmet.
