#Icon airflite replacement airfoil full

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.

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.
