A good Arai Shoei alternative The Variant carbon corrected some issues I had with the Arai XD I wore for years. First; the shield doesn't fog.. and I tried really hard to make it fog. It just doesn't. I tried on a Shoei Hornet at a local store, and it's shield seem to fog more than my Arai. Second; the shield is optically correct, no more minor distortions as on my Arai. The shield also has a good number of smooth quality feeling detents. I use this helmet sometimes on the street, but mostly offroad enduro (Yamaha WR w/lic plate). It's well suited for both. Wind noise and weight are both very low for this style of helmet. Construction and finish quality are excellent and on par with my Arai XD or Shoei RF1100. The interior pads are well designed and easy to remove and wash - stylish as well. The peak is not quite as offroad tuned as the Arai, but it's still functional enough for sun blocking and incoming roost or branches. Traditional goggles don't work; no strap gap and interfere with the shield, but instead of goggles I've used prescription 7Eyes for years, which for me have worked way better than goggles and fit excellent with the Variant. The helmet comes with a nice helmet bag, cleaning cloth, squirt bottle, and chin curtain. My only complaint, which is VERY minor, is that given $550, pricing it between a Shoei and Arai, replacing the shield requires popping off these snap-on caps on the sides which cover the mount screws. The snapping feature just doesn't feel as quality as the rest of the helmet. They're merely cosmetic caps, but still, there has to be a better way. Finally for those who find country of origin important - made in Korea. April 16, 2013
The Best Helmet Ever The Icon brand stays up with their word. The helmet is marvelous I couldn't ask better. January 28, 2013
One of my favorite Helmets One of the things i love most about this helmet is the look. It looks like a dual sport, but its a street helmet for sure. I get no drag on the freeway. The visor reduces a lot of sun irritation and glare. There is a lot of air flow with this helmet and the vents are easy to close with your gloves. The only down fall is that the shield does not have a locking position or semi open like the shoei shields. You do need a tool to change the shields, so people who change from tint to clear on a daily basis beware. Overall i would buy this helmet again November 28, 2012
Best colour scheme of the variant helmet Like the colour scheme very much. Very stylish looks, compare to Arai XD series. Slightly heavy on the weight, small on fit. Got to get 1 size up. Noise level is bearable at 120 km/h, vision is good & wide enough. One thing to take note is got to get the breath guard or tinted visor. Look much better, if not it's doesn't look cool. Haha. I'll definitely recommend this product. November 5, 2012
Air Flow is GREAT! This Helmet is best for summer riding or warm to hot weather riding. Air flow is great, very light, it looks awesome, but a little loud in high speeds. I wish they came out with this helmet, in summer of 2012. Have to wait for warmer weather to use it agian, in 2013. October 29, 2012
Great helmet for Large/XLarge heads My head is right at 23.5 inches, which is on the top side of a large in this lid. At first it was very tight and would hurt my head after a few minutes. About 5 hours of use loosened up and it fits great now. The visor does a great job of blocking mid morning sun and the vents help direct air in and keep my head cool. I have had a slight issue with the very bottom of the shield fogging up, but opening it up a little clears it up quick. October 8, 2012
