Cretin: (noun) a stupid, obtuse, or mentally defective person.
That may just say enough about the designer of the Icon Alliance SSR Speed Cretin Helmet. This helmet is (in my humble opinion) just plain ugly, gaudy, and obnoxious. I know I'm not the target market… not by about 30 years… so let's just look at the details.
The Speed Cretin helmet is a quality helmet that meets a plethora of safety standards: DOT FMVSS 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (Europe), SAI AS1698 (Australia), and SG (Japan) safety and testing standards. That pretty much covers all corners of the world. The shell is polycarbonate, and Icon says that the helmet underwent serious wind tunnel testing. I guess those demon wings flow through the air better than appearances would indicate.
Wearers report that the helmet fits narrow -- kind of like the Shoei long oval shell. It is a comfortable helmet with a snug, plush interior. The SSR is available in sizes XS through 2XL. Interestingly, the helmet is available in only one color scheme: Horrible Green. OK, I'll back off here.
The Icon Alliance SSR Speed Cretin Helmet is well-made protection for riders who want a LOT of attention. If the style suits you, the helmet will protect you.
