New Icon Vaquero Helmet Is Lovely, but the Commercial...

We like it when Icon comes up with new helmets, especially when they're in fancy designs, just like the all-new Airframe Vaquero. In a terribly funny way, their slogan "Sonrie hoy, llora mañana – Smile Today, Cry Tomorrow" is absolutely perfect, if we consider the comemrcial for these helmets.

If they addressed only southerners and cowboys, such a commercial would've been spot on. But taking into consideration the sport bikes many Icon riders use for street prowling, the approach is more on the "cry today" side.

Skipping the uninspiring commercial, the Icon Airframe Vaquero lives up to the expectations: a 4-layer shell made of fiberglass, Dyneema, carbon fiber and the outer coating, is backed by EPS and stiffer liners with air channels for good extraction, all dressed in a proprietary fabric which wicks out moisture for reduced heat buildup.

The Vaquero comes with a ProShield visor with FogFree coating for reduced fogging, and the available shells are XS through 3XL. This lid will be available very soon for a $360 MSRP (€276).
