I would say that mine gets a little wind noise, but it is tolerable, and its only when it is really windy out.

Only reason I wear one is because for one it cuts noise down and offers SOME protection... Keyword being some. Nobody has a say in their end day. Being from Ohio I'm one of a few that wears any helmet at all.

Exactly! If I wear a helmet at all, I wear the skid-lid with goggles for short trips and the full face occasionally for long hauls because it is quieter. I dress for the ride, not the fall...If I die, I die doing what I love...what better way is there to go meet your maker? Life's a bitch, then you die.

It's made to fit an oval shaped head. If your dome is round you will have pressure points on your forehead and on the back of your head. The padding will break in so get one that fits snug. I had one and it fit well. It is loud for a full face but if your coming from a half lid you won't notice a difference.

You will notice a difference compared to other full face helmets. This helmet moves a lot of air and has large air channels between the padding and the shell. I only used this helmet on 90+ degree days.

I picked up a discontinued Arai Quantum II at Chaparral for about the same price as that Icon link you posted.
