Now I'd rather be able to buy two or three Scorpion,Icon,HJC,Akuma,Sparx,etc helmts instead of one Arai. Just my opinion of course.

I am by no means a gear snob, I just don't like Icon gear.. The Akuma helmets are sweet and I'd rock one, but you will never catch me in Icon gear. Oh and it doesn't help that their #1 spokesperson is a complete tool bag(Jason Britton). For me its the designs that Icon comes out with, Not my style at all. Even if they were rated the best in protection I still wouldn't own their gear...
