Ive heard lots of good and bad icon reviews online. I would like to know your guys thoughts? And also share mine.
Is Icon gear made to look flashy and cool? I think so.
Will it protect me in a fall? Sometimes I wonder...
Seeing as I have just gotten into motorbikes last spring I was in need for some gear. I decided on the Icon Alliance helmet. Which for a fairly cheap helmet it has done awesome.
Next was my jacket, The Mesh Hooligan model. This is a very lightweight jacket, and even with the "armour" I don't feel this would do much in a fall. The "fighter mesh" (as Icon calls it) easily snags, and threads get pulled.
These are the only products I have actually riddin with. Over the winter I have purchased a pair of Icon Compound mesh overpants. Which look extremely promising. They appear to be built very well, and not only do they fit good and look good, I would trust these in a fall. They are mainly leather (very heavy leather) with mesh around the inside of the crotch.
Last but not least I got a pair of Icon gloves- I already had a nice pair of gloves but it was a good sale and I couldn't pass them up I will have to see how they hold up.
Overall I am pleased with the Icon gear that I have. The quality could be better on some of there products, but you always get what you pay for.
So now is the question, How has Icon treated everyone else on here??
