Icon Patrol Waterproof Gloves Eighty percent of the controls on a motorcycle are operated with your hands. The Patrol waterproof gloves were designed to keep you in control when the weather turns foul. The fully insulated and waterproof design provides maximum comfort and protection. The chassis is not only waterproof but features a mild precurve design to reduce hand fatigue. The palm is constructed of Battlehide goatskin for optimum feedback yet maintaining durability. Reinforced rubber knuckle armor covers the backhand along with a reflective graphics package. Finally, an integrated goggle wipe built into the thumb helps keep your shield clear. Waterproof textile chassis Abrasion resistant premium grade Battlehide goatskin palm Reinforced rubber knuckle armor Reflective graphics Goggle wipe on thumb Precurved palm and finger design

When I purchased these gloves I was really looking for a quality fall/winter glove that was sub $100 and this seemed to fit all my criteria. I like the full gauntlet for the cold weather. Only been in light rain, so can't really attest to how waterproof. Quality construction and nice protection features. If you are looking for a sub $100 cold weather and waterproof glove, look no further. Only suggestion is that the inside felt liner runs just a touch small compared to measurements. I kept the ones I got even though they were pretty snug figuring they will break in a little (haven't yet, but only have about 100 miles on them).

Icon Super Duty 4 Boots The fourth iteration of our industry defining Superduty boot pays direct homage to it's SD1 patriarch. The visually defining rubber nub interface and clean pattern lines keep the boot's appearance smooth while hidden ghillie laces reduce snag potential. The new bottom unit provides increased support, durability, and grip while layered foam increases comfort. The midfoot support strap, with upgraded aluminum buckle, provides increased foot retention. Finally, the reduced toebox height provides a greater range of fitment. The Superduty 4, the next step in motorcycle footwear. Durable leather upper Axialmetric steel shank Slip resistant rubber sole Footpeg interface arch Internal ankle protection Adjustable midfoot stabilizer strap Aluminum positive-lock buckle Low profile lacing system Shifter interface nubs

Simple, good riding boot that is comfortable enough to wear around the office all day. I like the style under a pair of jeans. Aren't so tall and cumbersome as to make me keep a pair of shoes at work to change into. Offer decent protection and a good bang for the buck. Would recommend to someone looking for a quality commuter boot.

Bought these to not break the bank buying pants. These are a good over pant, waterproof, and with the liner are warm. Easy on and off as over-pants.

Almost a perfect blend of style and function. I really wanted a glove that was somewhat aggressive, but not fully covered in hard parts. I got the blacked out version and they just look awesome with a perfect fit that keeps getting better the more miles.

Ultra resistant and durable hemp fiber is longer, stronger, and more insulated than cotton.

Got this jacket on closeout, so not sure how much longer it will be on Revzilla. Jacket is great for 3 seasons, already worn it as low as about 50 and high as 80 and was still mostly comfortable. Probably much below 50 would need to be wearing something underneath as I was starting to get cold after an hour with just a long sleeve t-shirt. Jacket looks good, fits great (got the medium and fits good at 5'11 210lbs). The hemp is great since it has high abrasion resistance and has the bonus of being a green material. Anyone looking for quality 3 season coat, snag this while it's still available.

Inseam measurement on 'short' lengths?

I didn't see the measurement on the Fieldsheer size chart?
I went with the short as I have a 30" inseam. I found that after riding in them a few times that I wish I had got the normal since the extra length is a bonus with your legs up in the riding position. This was one of those times I wish I could have ridden in them a few times, now I'm stuck with pants that don't fit that well.

Would this make a good winter jacket?

I've read the specs and the reviews, and am still wondering how this jacket would fare in 20-30 degree winter weather.
Not really good lower than 40 degrees for me. There is a removable vest, so it doesn't cover the arms. I found that sub 40 degrees I'm adding a couple layers and still a bit cold after only 15-20 mins. Sweet spot for this jacket is between 45 and 75.

How warm is this jacket?

I'll be riding in cali in a few weeks and need a stylish but comfortable jacket. It should be in the 60s-70s. How would this perform?
Sweet spot for this jacket is between 45 and 75, so you should be good.

Glove Feel

Does the glove feel thicker and/or scratchy on the inside as a result of the kevlar?
How is the air flow, we talking an all season or summer only glove?
Thanks
Inside feels like soft cotton or leather, feels great.
