Overall this helmet is excellent and lives up to the hype and reviews found on the internet. To find reasons to nitpick is but of a stretch but here they are. The big red button is installed well up and inside the chin bar. There is very little room for the fingers of a large XL gloved hand to fit between my chin and the red button to unlatch the chin bar. However the more I played with it, the easier it was to operate. Closing the chin bar is simply performed by hooking a gloved finger on the chin vent tab and bringing down the chin bar which locks up nicely without any issues. The helmet has a nice curve along the sides, so installing my Sena SMH10 took some work to make it look a nice as possible. I also ordered the SMH-10 clamp kit with attachable boom and wired microphone as the stock SMH-10 boom can hang up on the chin curtain. Everything was ordered though Revzilla and I had many questions before and after the purchase. Customer support is simply excellent!

Icon Variant Helmet - Solid Survival is a matter of enhanced situational awareness - an unforgiving maze of gravel strewn corners and malevolent steel. Comfort, vision, protection. Introducing the Variant helmet from Icon. A wind tunnel refined shape, executed in a Fiberglass/ Dyneema/Carbon matrix, along with an dual-density EPS core provide critical impact energy management. Extensive venting and a removable Hydradry wicking liner provide increase comfort by reducing rider fatigue. The anti-lift visor directs and channels airflow as it reduces the glare from an unyielding UV assault. While the extended eyeport and zero distortion optics provide unrivaled field of view. If the streets are your area of operation - equip yourself for the fight. All world standard, meets or exceeds the following dot fmvss 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (Europe), SAI AS1698 (Australia) and SG (Japan) safety and testing standards. Does not ship with SAI or SG certification stickers. Fiberglass / Dyneema / Carbon Fiber Shell Industry leading multi-inlet ventilation system Wind tunnel tested and refined Antilife visor Integrated chin EPS Air Channels reduce shield fogging Distortion free precision optics Anti-fog shield Removable Hydra-Dry moisture wicking liner Removable chin curtain

This is the only FF Helmet that I truly enjoy riding with. As soon as I put one on I knew this was the helmet for me. Very comfortable and excellent visibility. Before I purchased one, I trying one on while stilling on my bike. 2010 GW. My other FF helmets and others that I tried on, limited my downward and Peripheral vision. The helmet offers excellent all around visibility.
The only negative comment I have is these helmets, when new, the inside stinks to high h#ll with the off gassing of the new materials. So either wash the removable liner upon delivery or allow the Helmet to air out for a few days before donning on a hot summer day.
Yes, I recommend this product.

In the DOT version from Revzilla are the rain stoppers installed and can you update the video to show how to remove them
I just received my Larzer Carbon from Revzilla and love the helmet and the customer service is, again excellent.
I am assuming the rain stoppers come installed, but I am writing to validate this assumption.
Neither he included manual nor Lazer Web site offer instructions on how to install and remove the rain stoppers.
Before I go prying, I though it best to ask the experts! :)

Will one BTSPLITTER connect to a pair of SENA SMH10s.
My wife and I ride with and enjoy using our Sena SMH10s.
From what I have read thus far, this one Interphone BTSSplitter should connect to both SENA's using the AD2P Stereo profile, allowing my wife and I to enjoy stereo music from the same source.
Is my assumption correct.?

How well does the icon variant accept bluetooth communication devices and speakers?
Well I have had my Icon Variant (Rubatone and Gold Shield for over a year now, ordered from here at Revzilla, and the Sena SMH10 fits perfectly. And I use the clamp.
The Helmet and Sena's work so well, this summer my son got the Icon Variant (Black Etched, Smoked Visor), and Sena SMH10 attached.
I can also report that just this afternoon at work, a fellow who rides a black and gold speed triple was in my office checking out my Variant and will be ordering the identical setup to mine, Rubatone, Gold Shield, SMH10s.
