Default Arai Quantum / F Matsudo Helmet - Large - Brand New

I had bought this helmet about 2-3 weeks ago just because i liked it, and was planning on purchasing a bike soon...Well i just bought my bike on tuesday, and to my surprise i got 2 Icon helmets with the sale. The icon helmets match the bike perfectly, and i have decided if i can get close to what i payed for the Arai I will sell it.

I payed 419.99 for the helmet. I know i cant get exactly what i payed, but im entertaining offers.
The helmet was worn once just to see how it compared, and right now since i spent more than i wanted on the bike itself, the money is more important.

Pics...









Aim/ Aol = Swags04

x2...I'd keep the Arai and ditch one or both of the ICONs. Your head will thank you...Arai comfort slays anything else out there.

No doubt the arai is a more quality helmet in all ways.
But, the Icon was used, it wont catch much resale.
But, its not like the Icon isnt still a well made, quality helmet.

i heard icon = hjc ?? dunno if it's true, but i personally would never trust my skull in an HJC helmet. but like half the guys here will tell you otherwise. whatever floats your boat though, i don't want to start another cheap vs. expensive helmet debate.
heh... reminds me of an arai ad that i saw the other day, something like "why are some helmets cheaper than arai? because they're cheap." i'm a shoei guy myself though.

Is that a joke? Arai and Icon deff. aren't on the same level...Just because they both "pass the test" doesn't mean they're equal in any way, shape or form.
