I got the RST silver and it looks amazing with my orange hi-viz helmet. Should be noticed that it fogs up like crazy on cold nights, not sure if mine is defective or if the rst ones don't come with the anti-fog stuff. You can wear it at night just fine as long as you know the roads. It doesn't scratch as easily as I thought it would, no bugs have left scratches in the silver yet, just flying gravel lol.

I hav had this helmet almost a month and it has broken in nicely. Right out of the box it did put a lot of pressure on my cheek bones but that has gone away. I got the highviz orange and it looks amazing with my orange Icon overlord prime jacket. The helmet is a little bit of a brighter orange of course. Oh, and everyone just flat out stares at you so be warned, lol.

Michelin Pilot Power 2CT Tires Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tires add two-compound technology to the already renowned Pilot Power range. While 2CT technology originated in MotoGP racing, Pilot Power 2CT tires are intended for the most demanding sportbike riders, who use their bikes both on the road and for track days. Its tread surface is divided into three separate areas, incorporating two different rubber compounds. This helps provide numerous benefits in terms of dry grip, lean angle, handling and progressive acceleration and braking on wet surfaces. Real Moto GP technology from the tire company that has won 15 consecutive GPWorld Championships 20 softer rubber mix on the edges of the tread yields phenomenal cornering grip Unprecedented lean angles 51.2 degrees in the dry on Michelin's test track Precise handling and feedback Lap times within 7 of Michelin Moto GP slicks when fitted on Colin Edward's Yamaha Moto GP bike at Malaysia's Sepang circuit in February 2006 Track Day tire that is equally at home on the road

Icon Overlord Prime Jacket For many years Icon has led the charge to conquer the moto leather market. Our unending quest for leather perfection has brought us to this point - the Overlord Prime. A chassis crafted from the finest cuts of Brazilian cowhide. The aggressive fit is complemented with engineered flex zones for unparalleled function. Precurved arms are set in a forward attitude to place you in an attack position, while strategically located plastic armor helps defend against the asphalt adversary. Finally, perforations and mesh panels combine for optimum operational temperatures. The Overlord Prime, truly a garment crafted for the most hostile of engagements. Icon attack fit 1.2-1.4mm premium grade leather chassis Removable Icon CE field armor impact protector elbow and shoulder Icon external injected plastic protection on shoulders, elbows, and back Removable Icon dual-density foam back pad Gathered stretch panels for comfort and flexibility Strategically placed perforated leather for ventilation YKK autolock zippers Removable insulated wind resistant vest Upgradable to stryker CE back protector

I'm 6' 2" and 185lb. the XL fits perfect. Not to snug but no extra material bunching up. Airflow is amazing and rivals my friends textile jacket. I got the orange and it looks sick and turns heads, love the jacket.

Icon Overlord Long Gloves Strong, light, and ready for duty - the Overlord glove is the finest glove Icon has ever offered. We started with a Kangaroo palm - thin for ultimate feedback form your controls yet more abrasion resistant than cowhide. Critical impact areas were treated to reinforcements of Pittard's Keratan - a flexible yet significantly enhanced abrasion resistant goatskin. The backhand is constructed from Icon's Battlehide goatskin - forming a tough yet lightweight barrier against asphalt incursion. A full compliment of injection molded armor plating provides additional defensive measures. The Overlord also features a floating knuckle design which allows for maximum articulation while reducing hand fatigue. The overall effect of these materials choices and pattern engineering is instant comfort, protection, and mobility. If you're in the market for a full gauntlet glove slip on an Overlord and judge for yourself. Abrasion resistant premium grade Battlehide goatskin backhand Kangaroo palm Pittards Keratan abrasion zones Injected thermoplastic knuckle and wrist protection Injection molded wrist plate Precurved fingers Aramid stitching

Most comfortable glove I've worn.

This glove is very comfortable right out of the box and just gets better as it breaks in. I got the blue and it is a lot darker of a color than pictured but still looks sick.

Can you please tell me what are the differences between the accelarant, the overlord, and the overlord prime jackets?
Don't know about the accelarant but I have the overlord prime and my friend has the overlord. The only difference is the prime has the external protection as well as the internal, other than that they are the same jacket. I highly recommend either one.
