Icon Alliance Threshold Helmet So long, normality. Adios, last shred of reason. Hello, reckoning. At the very threshold of sanity there can be only one Icon Alliance Threshold Helmet. Correction - there can be only four Red, Blue, Silver and Pink. The strong point graphics on this helmet sweep over a tattered under graphic that compliments the Icon Hooligan 2 Jacket. But whether it is combined with the jacket or worn separately, this Icon Alliance delivers you to the edge of reason. Not only does this helmet deliver on graphics but it also delivers on features from the more ergonomic shape to a refined air vent system to a distortion free shield. All World Standard, meets or exceeds the following DOT FMVSS 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (Europe), SAI AS1698 (Australia) and SG (Japan) safety and teting standards. Does not ship with SAI or SG certification stickers unless purchased from an authorized dealer in that country Injection molded polycarbonate shell for strength Long oval headform Wind tunnel tested and refined Molded twin channel supervent for increased cooling Rear exhaust ports prevent heat buildup Removable molded breath deflector reduces shield fogging Chin venting system reduces shield fogging Fully removable/washable Hydradry interior Quick-change fog-free proshield with sideplates Prolock shield locking system
 

Which riding position does this suit better?

Is this a good helmet for an upright riding position or more for the tuck position?

Good for a cruiser?

The RF-1100 looks like a nice step up from the Qwest, though I'm curious if it would work well riding a cruiser like a Yamaha V-Star when you're in a fully upright position.
That was kinda of what I was going to ask, It says it has better airflow than the Qwest, but more for the sport bike position, but will it still provide better airflow than the Qwest in the upright position, or would the Qwest provide better airflow being it is designed more for the upright position. I am still torn between the two and will have an upright bike, but if this will still provide better circulation then this is the one I want over the Qwest.
