Icon QB1
I have been using this helmet now for 1 month. Love it! The helmet is quiet with no buffeting with the screens up or down.
I really like the secondary sunshield, it makes it so that i do not need sunglasses. The fit is very comfortable although i would really suggest going up a size.
I would absolutely buy this helmet again.
Fortnine was amazing as i did have sizing issues but their return policy is awesome.
Thank you Fortnine

Great helmet, even better service.
I bought this helmet and it arrived faster than expected, one of the removable cheek pads was torn. Fortnine replaced it with no fuss and also sent me a more suitable size as the ones that arrived were to tight, no extra charge. I'll definitly be back for more.

Wicked Looks
I’ve been using the helmet for about 3 weeks now. I had a Medium Icon Alliance before that fit perfectly and ordered the medium for this helmet as well. Fit extremely tight but has since broken in; it is still quite snug so if you’re in between sizes, I would try sizing up.
Pros
-Looks wicked!
-Gold shield looks great on the red helmet
-Drop down visor
Cons
-Noisier than my icon alliance
-Icon told me that the colour is racing red (looks very orange) and that they will be releasing a red colour sometime in August/September.
-Will not work with the new Cardo PackTalk SLIM

Head Turning Helmet
The Airflite helmet does not disappoint. It is comfortable and moves a good amount of air with vents open, but also isn't too noisy. But the look is absolutely killer with a mirrored shield.

Unique Helmet
So far so good. Put about 16 hours of riding in it. Venting is good, style is A-1, fit was spot on for me in a Medium. Only advice I have is be mindful of the shield sticking out further than most helmets due to the unique design(banged into a few things lol). Other than that i'm happy with it.

First helmet
Got this as my first helmet and have been on two rides so far. It’s quite comfortable, the weight is well balanced and distributed so it doesn’t pull your head in any direction, the “hydradry” liner is nice I didn’t even know I was sweating as much as I was until I pulled the helmet off. Has good visibility, nothing blocks your vision and field of view is as wide as my peripheral vision almost. Very good air flow, once I was moving it was nice and cool. I haven’t noticed the wind noise other people have mentioned but that being said it is my first helmet and I’ve not gone over 60km yet.
Only have two cons
I got the gloss white colour and in the photo the spoiler is gloss black but it’s actually smoked.
The drop down visor was something I was excited about because it looked so cool and convenient but it doesn’t come down as far as I’d like and I noticed it does have a warp right where you look when your looking straight ahead
*bonus*
Not a con just an annoyance, the bottom of the main shield sits right at eye/eyebrow level when it’s folded up so on days like today when it’s 33 degrees in the morning and your practicing slow speed manoeuvres it gets in the way a bit. Didn’t notice it catching wind at 50-60km though like other people have said.
Over all though I do like it a lot, the comfort out weighs the cons I think, besides you can’t look super cool and have 100% functionality.

Great Looking helmet
I purchased the QB1 helmet that was sold out everywhere. Somehow, FortNine had it in stock at a very reduced price. I’m from Ontario and it was delivered within two days!! Super happy with the service.
Helmet fits snug so I would go up one size. Taking it off and on when new is a chore but rumour has it will eventually settle. It comes with the clear visor - upgrading to a coloured shield is a must. It changes the entire look of the helmet. The coloured visor is prone to fingerprints and scratches but looks awesome. The helmet is mid weight, airflow is good and good bang for the buck.

Drop down visor broken after 2 seasons of riding
I bought a icon airflite nocturnal march 8 2024, preseason inspection, airflite mask locking tab has broken and separated from the helmet mouth piece. The drop down inner visor has stopped working and will only drop halfway due to the cable that connects the switch and mechanical drop down has become freyed, kinked and run over with the slide switch as well as a kink on the mechanism side. Helmet has no drops only regular use...unacceptable as the use of this helmet equates to less than a year total of riding a couple days a week, in season.

Questions
Does the Rubatone airflite come with a dark face shield or just the clear one? And does the helmet come with the spoiler already or do I need to buy it separate?
Clear face shield only, and the spoiler is attached to the helmet and included. You can purchase additional shields here:

I am a shortsighted guy and i need to wear my glasses. Does it have enough space inside the helmet fo me to wear glasses ?
Yes it should accommodate most prescription glasses as long as they are not too bulky. This can also be dependent on how the helmet fits to your head too. The helmet will be tight out the box but it will loosen up over time.

Yes the fit is the same

Can you fit an 2 way intercom system in this helmet?
You can, but you may have to use a sticky mount on the side of the helmet to mount it, since the helmet trim does not allow for a clamp to slide into the shell of the helmet. The helmet does however have speaker pockets and a flat space on the side of the helmet to mount a comms device.
