Huge debate over helmet shell construction and actually which protects best - bottom line is Snell cert may indeed not be the best protective helmet - there was a helmet question here just a week ago and this was discussed at length

Bottom line is if it fits like a glove and is comfortable for the long haul you cannot really make a poor choice protection wise with just about any DOT approved helmet on the market.

Ask around about venting and noise levels - I have never owned an Icon helmet so I can' t help here, with the protection debate ongoing go for fit, and then look at the rest like sheild replacement, venting etc.
