Riding Gear - Icon

DillonWren · 04-13-2008

Does Icon make good gear?

c_law23 · 04-13-2008

well if the term "get what you pay for" holds water then i would say they make the best!

I dont know, might be buying some of their boots soon.

Good luck with your question.

DillonWren · 04-13-2008

thanks

I would say Yes...they only think I've ever heard anybody complain about is their prices. I've been really wanting to get the Icon ARC textile jacket looks sweet leather in some good spots, but it's not cheap.

DillonWren · 04-13-2008

I like the Accelerate Jacket

WeBeToyz · 04-14-2008

I like the Icon products as a whole. I have one of their jackets. The quality is good, lots of features & pockets, openings for air, etc., and for me, the jacket had a better overall fitment than the other brands I tried on. It was more $$ than comparable jackets, I feel it is worth the extra money. As mentioned, you get what you pay for.

Don't know about the rest of their products, but their jackets do run on the small size, so you might want to try on one size up to see if it fits any better.

ive had the Icon Mainframe Halo FF helmet since 2005 and its been awesome. Very comfortable and have gotten alot of compliments on the matte color/style.
Not much more expensive than other helmets IMO. I paid 250.00 for it new.

DillonWren · 04-14-2008

ok cool thx

98ninja98 · 04-15-2008

I have their hooligan mesh jacket and like it so far, comfortable and keeps you cool. Only thing is there seems to be less armor than some other ones I've looked at online since I bought it.

DillonWren · 04-15-2008

I'm guna see if any shops around here carry Icon

dropdfocus · 04-20-2008

I'm rocking their Mainframe Skull helmet and I've gotten TONS of complements on it from various style of riders. Very comfortable and reliable too. The replacement visors range from $25-$35. I'm looking into replacing my Alpinestars leather jacket with the matching Skull jacket. 3 of my friends have their jackets and are very pleased with them.

i'm pretty much an "ICON" poster boy.

i have their gloves(2 pairs),jacket,boots,jeans and 2 of their helmets as well.

i have no complaints about any of their products.
it has been said that their customer service leaves some people bitter,but your opinion may vary.

^^^ Sweet bike!

dropdfocus · 04-20-2008

Hmmm... Helmet looks awfully familiar.

I have their Superduty 2 boots and they are EXTREMELY comfortable and I think they look great

*Svetlana* · 04-20-2008

I've got Icon leather pants and gloves. Would most definitely recommend their products for those who want quality and style. Yes, the pricerange is a bit higher, but not too high up there (in comparison to the pretty penny brands like Dainese). It really depends upon what you are looking for, but overall I've been very satisfied with them.

dropdfocus · 04-20-2008

I like their boots, but for the price I can pick up a set of Hi-Tec Magnum boots (standard issue for police officers) for a lower price and they are a high top boot with plenty of protection in everyday riding. Long rides I throw on my A-Stars S-MX R boots.

silvia-junkie · 04-23-2008

crash tested my leather moterhead jacket. i maintain it is the reason i still can use my left arm held up great.

guitarstudd636 · 04-30-2008

I have worn an Icon Mainframe helmet and it was the most comfortable helmet ever to grace my noggin. I tried a bunch on when I bought my KBC but no Icons. My KBC is not the most comfortable in the world then my buddy had me ride with his mainframe for a few miles and wow. I am going to buy the the Airframe model soon as I get back from overseas.

Jadefoxx215 · 05-09-2008

i love their gear, I had to buy a mens small but their gloves shoes and jackets are pricey but IMO worth it..
