Overall, over 50 countries officially recognize these extensive head protection standards. The Airflite is engineered to the ICON WORLD STANDARD, which meets safety standards for: The dual-density Expanded-Polystyrene liners provide maximum impact absorption and force dissipation in the event of an impact and are also channeled to work like a duct system to provide awesome airflow. The Airflite helmets offer an injection-molded polycarbonate PC-ABS shell. With the ICON Airflite, the extra small and small helmets are actually smaller and lighter which helps to reduce the bobblehead feel that can be created with a large helmet shell and extremely thick padding to accommodate a smaller head. Many helmets offer only two shells so the person who needs an extra small helmet is wearing the same shell as the person who needs a large helmet. The Airflite is offered in 3 shell sizes XS-S, M-L, and XL-3X and the fit is adjusted with the various pads. I wear an extra small and the sizing fits me well. The helmet was so comfortable that I was concerned that it might be a little too large, but when I got out on the first ride and it remained secure and in place at speed and in the wind, I was confident that the sizing was correct. All three of the pads snap in place and can be easily removed for washing or replacement.Įven from the first ride, I enjoyed the fit of the helmet and the pads did not have any areas which rubbed or felt overly tight and created pressure points. Each piece is constructed of HydraDry material which provides great wicking. The padding on the Inky is comprised of three separate pieces including the comfort liner over the top of the head and left and right cheek pad. I did notice that the larger opening with the extended chin bar had the chin pads sitting a little lower on my face than some more compact helmets but the fit was good and very comfortable. Muscle memory takes over the strap is looped and snapped in just a second. The chin strap offers the pretty standard double D-ring and strap and is very easy to secure. The Inky is an intermediate oval helmet and fits a slightly wider head.

And when I was stopped at a light, it was super easy to reach up and pop the Fliteshield open to get a full air exchange before taking off again. I closed the vents and got noticeably warn but then reopened the forehead vents and could instantly feel the circulation of air through the helmet. This was the perfect opportunity to check out the airflow.

My most recent ride in Inky was in the midafternoon and the temps were creeping up to about 90 degrees. If you find your own complementary gear, c heck out other great product reviews from ICON here.

The point is that I could tuck very easily without the helmet being pushed forward by my back protection. It certainly helps that the jacket is made by ICON, an old style Overlord Resistance with a large backplate, but I know it will be great to accommodate any jacket with a larger back protector. This is the first helmet that I have found that fit so perfectly with the back protector on my favorite warm weather jacket.

This inset let me tuck very tightly without the back of the helmet hitting the back protector in my jacket. I already knew that this was a great way to carry the Inky, but the function goes far beyond a great gripping point. When I turned it up a notch and got into a very aggressive riding position, I discovered the benefit of the unique shape of the base of the helmet.Īt the back of the helmet, there is a cutout or inset area about as wide as my hand. On the highway, my first thoughts were that the helmet provided great stability when facing forward and even when turning my head, the helmet remained stable.
