Default Icon Domain Helmet

My ICON Domain Helmet

Expensive, but no one around me has it. Very Comfortable!

Looked at these a year or so ago (was in the US, ended up getting $3,000 US of icon kit for me and my wife :P)

Would have loved some of the Icon helmets, but not legal for use in the UK, so no use buying.

It IS a nice lid tho.

Basically Icon have not sent a bunch over to be tested to get rated against the EU protection system.

So as they are untested against that system, you cant wear them.

I live in the US so this is interesting to me. Are you sure it is for that reason? Its not because of a safety or malfunction on the helmets? I want to get the Icon team merc.

Not having worn one or tried one I can only say that I am sure that they are perfectly ok and I would wear one in the US.

Its just that without certification in the UK, wearing it would be the same in the eyes of the law as not wearing one.

Relatively small company that only has a VERY small part of their range for sale in the UK through Hein Gerricke.

Also TBH their stuff IS a bit on the Chav side, with Style definately being over Substance, although the actual construction is pretty good. ( can talk about the construction as I have a fair bit of their stuff.

Its all aimed at the US "Street" market.

As such they have no real interest in selling to the Euro/UK market.

Pure economics.

Has it had acid poured over it or is it meant to look like that?
