CARE AND CLEANING
Let's face it, Icon helmets look cool and you want to keep them that way. We've found the following methods work really well to
keep our helmets looking sharp and ready to roll. Remember, never use gas, pre-mix, carb cleaner, brake cleaner or any other
random unlabeled spray can lying around the garage. Chemicals and harsh solvents can break down the materials in your
helmet; it's like using brake cleaner to polish your plastics—don't do it!
INTERIOR CLEANING
1. Remove interior lining.
2. Soak your interior in a mild solution of baby shampoo.
3. Rinse in clean water several times until all soap is gone.
4. Let interior air dry and replace accordingly.
* Never machine wash or dry your helmet interior.
SHIELD CLEANING
Your helmet is equipped with a scratch resistant fog free
shield. Common household cleaners such as glass cleaners,
surface cleaners, and furniture polishes, can leave behind
unwanted residues, or in some extreme cases damage
the shield itself. It is our recommendation the same steps
outlined above for cleaning the exterior of your helmet
should be applied to cleaning the exterior of your shield. Use
no cleaners or detergents on the inside of your shield. Using
anything other than a clean soft cloth, micro fiber cloth, or
the bag supplied with your helmet, will ruin or reduce the
effectiveness of the fog free coating.
STORAGE
It is a good idea to protect your helmet if it is stored for a
period of time. Store your helmet inside the helmet bag we
have provided in a secure, dry place out of direct exposure
to sunlight.

EXTERIOR CLEANING (GLOSS HELMETS)
1. Lay a warm, wet, cloth towel on the exterior of the helmet
for at least 5 minutes to soften dried on bugs. (Don't skip
this step!)
2. Using a fresh, wet, clean cloth and mild dish soap wipe
down the exterior to get rid of road grime and softened bug
guts.
3. Use another fresh dry cloth towel to dry the helmet and get
rid of any water spots.
EXTERIOR CLEANING (RUBATONE™ HELMETS)
1. Lay a warm, wet, cloth towel on the exterior of the helmet
for at least 5 minutes to soften dried on bugs.
2. Remove the now softened bugs and road grime with a light
blotting action. For this use the soft part of your helmet bag
provided or a clean microfiber cloth.
* Never rub aggressively with anything on the Rubatone™ or you
can ruin the finish.
EXTERIOR POLISHING
1. For gloss helmet finishes, use spray automotive wax that is
specifically designed for cars with a clear coat.
(Available at any automotive store.)
2. For matte finishes, you know better than to polish a matte
finish don't you?
