GEAR - ICON

[s1dew1nd3r]

So over the lockdown - decided to try out a new brand i keep seeing popping up - been around for a while now and every time i read/see about them they appear to be using modern tech on everything even in their clothing D30 armor etc.

I ordered their top of the range "airframe pro" helmet from sportsbikestore - now i have to say, im really quite impressed by the overall quality of the lid, the insides feel really top notch and the finish on the outside is very nice. Anybody else had one of these and have any opinions on them? Wind noise is supposed to be average but if i decide to keep it i will use some custom earplugs anyway.

Tempted to order some more of their range now and try them out textile jacket/leather pants etc.

Ryan F9 seems to wear / rate quite a bit of their stuff

but he rides a V Strom so what does he know

I've got some of their gear - 2 helmets, jacket, boots and high vis vest for when going to france. All good stuff really.

The helmets have a bit of a strange fit however - I've had to modify (scrape the padding a bit) where it rests on my forehead. I've read somewhere that its more the American fit, but absolutely nothing to back that up.

Iv found the helmet (airframe pro) a decent enough fit and im a "shoei head" usually... im eager to try some more of their gear definitely, think maybe a trip to a sportsbikeshop store to try on some gear might be in order!

I have an Overlord Resistance jacket. A bit 'post apocalypse', but excellent venting for summer use & decent quality materials/zips. I also have a 'Wireframe' jacket for commuting - again, decent materials, big pockets & D30 armour is light.

I don't know much about their clothing, but I've always enjoyed their custom bikes and subsequent videos they put out on their icon Motorsport YouTube channel. In particularly the Raiden files with the custom Tiger 800s

I would absolutely try something clothing/helmet by the brand as like i and others above have said - the quality appears to be really nice and everything they do seems to be on the leading edge of tech compared to some companys that have been around forever and wont/dont change their outdated tech.

Just to add that my Wireform jacket's zip failed after about 11 months. Sportsbike Shop exchanged it under warranty, no quibble. The replacement has been fine for over a year now....

Good to know, i think at times people just scoff at the thought of anything that isnt dainese/alpinestars/spidi etc.
