Day 1:
Coming from a Bell Star, I found the fit to be narrow around the the lower cheeks, this makes it so the padding contours to your face beautifully (which felt a little too snug at 1st but I'm sure will feel great once the cheek pads are broken in a bit.)
One thing I missed immediately was being able to put on and remove the helmet without undoing the chin strap. I thought my eyes where going to pop out when I tried. Maybe when the chin strap gets worn I'll try again...

Functionally, I feel like I just installed a higher windscreen on my bike. The Bell felt like a tennis racquet and the Icon feels like a Samurai sword cutting through the air. I got the RST Silver and Rubatone Black. I think the helmet turns more heads than my bike...
Do it...
Yes, I recommend this product.

Shield.
Does this helmet come with the smoke shield as shown in the picture?
The Rubatone comes with a clear shield. I believe only a couple of models actually come with the smoke shield, one of them being the Construct model.
