I don't care how much you spend on a helmet. If it doesn't fit its not going to do its job. I owned two Icon helmets (I still have one) and one HJC dirt. I have been down on the street and in the dirt. I don't think my head hit on the street. But I also had on an Icon jacket and it didn't have a mark on it. I didn't really slide, I kinda bounced. I did have a zipper break but not from the accident.
In the dirt I hit my head on a rock and had only a small scuff on the HJC. Both the HJC fit my perfect, from the first time till the last.
I think I might have been the first to buy an Icon helmet at my dealer. The reason I looked at them was because of my HJC. I tried on almost every helmet there and that fit the best.
My Icon did fog up from what I remember.
