Icon Classic Face Shield Denoted on rideicon.com as Icon Original Shield Fits Pre-2010 Icon Alliance, Alliance SSR, Alliance SSR, Mainframe, and Domain 1 Helmets
Seals around the face port better than my Arai. I also like the ratchet system better than the smooth close and lock system of the Arai.
Seems rugged enough.
Cons
Doesnt intall as easy as an Arai.
I get a reflection on the INSIDE of the smoke shield. Not sure if the Aria is darker, differnt material or what.
Pros Great Value
Yes, I recommend this product.

Owned 3 Arai's over 10 years and couldnt find something as comfortable. Recent studies on the negatives of Snell ratings made me search even harder for an ECE rated replacement.
Pros
This helmet is the most comfortable I have found (although not as comfi as Arai).
Graphics are are outstanding and look like a $600+ helmet.
Sheild is not as easy to install as Arai but works fine and actually seals better around the eye port.
Its light.
Cons
The lining is a bit rough at first. I tried one on at a dealer that had obvioulsy been put on a few times. My new one didnt feel as good until I wore it for a couple hours... then its fine.
I get a reflection on the inside of the smoke shield. Not sure if the Arai was just darker or eyeport is bigger or light comes up under the chin???
This is the best sub $500 helmet you can get and its under $200!! Trust me, I have tried them ALL.
