Big, Bulky, Loud
Purchased size Medium. Shell is bigger than my primary Large. Alot of wind noise. Chin drops low, so if your jacket it bulky you may have to lift your chin to shoulder check. Front chin vents DO NOT CLOSE. On cold days, good luck.
Not happy with it but for passengers, whatever.

Very Comfortable helmet!
Use this for my daily commute, it's a very comfortable helmet. The airflow seems pretty good so far but I haven't yet had it out on a scorcher of a day. The helmet is definitely for a narrow oval head shape, but my wide oval of a head fits decent. Would definitely recommend going up a size unless you also have a narrow oval head.

Helmet is solid, "blackout" visor is too light
No real issues with the helmet, but the blackout visor is a light smoke at best. Very easy to see your face through it, so if you want that blacked out look, you can't get it with this helmet. Just something worth noting.

Love the design
Got a great deal on this from Fortnine, the large fits me perfect, it’s comfy and love the drop down sun shade. I wear glasses and it does take a bit of adjusting to get the glasses to fit right, but it is new so I’m expecting this to improve with time and wear. Over all I’m very happy with this helmet.

Wind noise
I bought this helmet couple of weeks ago. The helmet is nice but the wind noise is almost unbearable. Also, if you use a Cardo device there is no gap between the shell so you will not be able to use the cradle. I had to 3M the cradle to the helmet. Looking for another helmet to purchase

What makes this helmet a women's variant? Sizing and shape still the same?

Are these all ECE 22.06 rated? I noticed it is not mentioned on the Icon Airform Dark listing, but it listed on some of the other variations.
This meets DOT FMVSS 218 (US), ECE 22.06 (Europe).

Is the tinted shield okay for night riding?
The clear ICON OPTICS shield supplied with this helmet meets Regulation VESC-8. Accessory shields with the marking indicating ”daytime use only” are not suitable for use during the hours of darkness or in conditions of poor visibility. Make sure the face shield is always in perfect condition. Tinted DropShields™ should not be used during hours of low light; instead swap out for a Yellow face shield or just use the Clear ICON OPTICS shield.

is the helmet windproof?
Define Windproof, it has a moderate amount of wind noise. and its chin vents are always open. it does have a toggleable forehead vent though, and no chin curtain.
