All of its helmets are well-built and certified by the Snell Memorial Foundation, which is recognized around the globe.

As its business mission, Icon Helmets focus mainly on protecting people from head injuries in the event of an unfortunate accident. The second part of its mission is to provide outstanding quality to its customers with complete protective head gear for safety.

Icon Helmets meets the intricate certification standards of Snell Memorial Foundation. Snell Memorial Foundation houses a complete list of all helmets that it has defined as meeting the strictest of safety standards in the helmet industry. This list can easily be viewed online at the Snell Memorial Foundation’s website. Icon Helmets displays this certificate of safety in all of its helmets with a Snell label showing a serial number, which is placed inside of its helmets.

To begin the certification process, a company must submit the actual protective head gear and not a prototype. Snell Memorial Foundation is highly regarded in the protective head gear industry. It is an independent organization established in 1957 to safely certify protective head gear for auto racing, snowboarding, motorcycling, equestrian sports, karting, bicycling, rollerblading, skateboarding, and skiing.

The materials used to manufacture helmets and its style is not considered in meeting safety standards. The complete safety in the helmet’s construction is what makes it meet the highest requirements in safety standards. Snell Memorial Foundation has its own safety testing equipment to test for impact, position stability, retention, and chin protection. The focus is on protecting the head only, particularly a person’s brain. It is important to remember that protection is not designed for any other injuries, such as in the neck.

The testing equipment is designed to simulate an actual common accident that would result in head injury. With this type of testing, a consumer can rest assured that when it sees the Snell Memorial Foundation tag and serial number, that the protective head gear has received the highest safety testing.

Protective head gear regulations are constantly changing, and therefore the safety standards and testing for certification is continuously being upgraded by Snell Memorial Foundation. The overall performance of all protective head gear is the number one issue in safety.

The style and design may be attractive to the consumer at first sight and the need to look fashionable is surely a selling point in protective head gear, but safety in design is of utmost importance. Icon Helmets takes this into consideration by ensuring that its helmets are safe by the best standards in safety provided by Snell Memorial Foundation. Life’s accidents may happen, and it is important to take precautions to prevent unnecessary injury and use protective head gear to protect on of the most vital organs of the human body.
