ICON AIRFLITE QUICKSILVER FIRST RIDE + REVIEW
Check out my new helmet from Icon, my first ever by the brand, fairs on a winter ride in Milwaukee (40 degrees Fahrenheit riding at and below 50mph). Equipped with the RST Purple face shield, the visor is a semi-translucent mirror and adds a really nice touch to the Quicksilver Airflite helmet (mine is a size small).

Awesome Meghan! ALL my helmets are Icon. The helmet I ride with on my Triumph Thruxton R is the Airframe Pro Quicksilver. The finish is exactly like yours! This helmet is track ready and gives great upward visibility for sport bike riding. It's carbon, Kevlar composite construction. It is also BEAUTIFUL to look at because of it's hand done finish. You made a great choice Lady!! Perfect helmet for you and your style and safety.... Your channel is the best! If anyone reads this reply, Buy some merch from her as it's top shelf quality! I have bought everything from her and will continue to do so. I enjoy supporting someone that works hard like Meghan does... Meghan, Love Cullah!!!!

@inkvow9671 3 жыл бұрын

The icon is great for the summer, good airflow, and the visor pops up easily when you need some air at a red light. My only complaint is that the drop down does feel like it captures heat in the height of summer. I like keeping the shades down to preserve my privacy when my visor is up, but in the heat it can be uncomfortable. They don't fog though, I'll give them that.

I bought my Icon AirFlite helmet for exactly the same reason.. winter. However, I haven't used it much because winter isn't a very prominent season here in southern Louisiana. Also, I've always worn a 3/4 helmet so a full face is a little foreign for me. Hopefully I will get opportunities to rock the Airflite and get used to it. Oh yeah, I sort of just subscribed.

I have seen that on Amazon, but it's not easily removable from my understanding. It has to be secured with adhesive and then stays on the helmet at all times. I really like being able to take all my mounting accessories off for a clean look!

@grey_tracer5283 3 жыл бұрын

@@MeghanStark Hello Meghan, once the mount is on, it sure is hard to get it off again. Though for Motovlogs, an easy solution is to simply buy another Visor on which the Vlogging equipment stays permanently. One visor for Videos, one for conventional riding. Hope I could help you! ;) Greetings, Luke
