Bend, or
I've had this helmet a little over a year now and i'm in love with it. The helmet is very very comfortable. I've noticed that it has a small amount of wind noise but I thing that is due to the stock windscreen on the Tenere. The wind hits me right above the visor, if I stand up while at speen the noise stops. When I bought the helmet I also bought a mirrored visor and it works great when it's bright out. Neither one of the visors have ever fogged up and water beads up and blows off at a decent rate. Air flow is excellent and tends to be a little much when riding in windy conditions. The only complaint that I have is that the chin curtain slips out every once in a while it doesn't come out all the way but just enough to be annoying. I have the same style helmet in the Aria brand and prefer the wearing the Icon. The Aria also fogs up.

any type of dual sport helmet (spoiler on top, thingimagger ::013::) will give a bit of noise.
My old arai x-something did that in a bad way, but the first generation ones were very bad.

For my money, can't beat the shoei neotech. Quite, flip face, built in sun visor, removable liner, good price at iron pony.

Good price at your local dealer, where you can get support, service and warranty.

I just commented on the Shark helmet tread and then saw this one,,,, I just picked up a new ICCON Variant in last couple of weeks put it to the test straight away with hwy, dirt/dust, rain & fog!! love it! best fitting helmet I have had and did not fog up & rain beaded off easily well worth the coin in comparison, ordered me the tinted visor as well for when summer rolls around too!

You have not lived till you went to Iron Pony. The store has the foot print of a Home depot, bikes, parts, accessories.
at roughly $530 to my suitcase ::014::, it cannot be beat. My previous shoei flip face (multitec) has 4 yrs on it, and no issues.
Pretty sure if it had a bmw logo, all the bits would have fallen off it a long time ago. ::015::
