Socks are just socks some people think, but after riding with this sock I think you'll agree they are better than the average toe topper out there.
These are not super high dollar, you get two pairs, and they look stylish and are VERY comfortable. My brother wears his as normal socks even when not riding, he likes his that much...
They fit snug in the right places, dont slip down, and have good airflow and warmth both. (Tested 45 - 75 degrees)
Nothing overall fancy really, just a well made sock, they easily fold over on the cuff too if you dont like them up so high. I would recommend them for short boots or riding shoes, and they are plenty comfortable (in my opinion) to wear all day without issue like some riding socks.
I think for the price and quality, not much else out there can compete. I myself have 8 pairs and haven't regretted a day of owning them yet.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Icon Pursuit Perforated Gloves Fits like a glove... Youve heard it a thousand times, so have we. What actually defines how a glove should fit We think the new standard is Icons Pursuit glove. Supple sheepskin leather conforms to your hand. Plastic knuckle armor for protection, but hidden for a refined look. All over perforation for all day comfort. Reinforced goatskin palm to combat those nasty encounters with the asphalt. Try it on for yourself and then decide. This is what a glove was meant to be. Pittards sheepskin chassis for great fit Goatskin leather palm overlay for durability Integrated knuckle armor for protection Secure wrist closure keeps the glove in place Expansion gussets to improve overall flexibility Snap to keep gloves together while not in use

This is my second pair of Pursuit Gloves, so when they say would you recommend them, absolutely.
They are nice because you can go out and not look like you have on Knights Gauntlets. They are sleek, comfortable (they have a very mild precurve and hard armor above knuckles) and they flow air well.
For temperatures, I dont ride in winter so I cant give you much info there, but they work well down into the 60s. Yet arent too hot in the heat. They do however, fade over time in color (but only if you ride in sun a lot and this is over a two year period)
They also stow nicely, they fold up nice and have a button to attach them to each other (I run my helmet strap through it and they cant get lost!)
Sizing seems spot on to the chart for me (and my brother too).
Overall Id say its one of my favorite gloves, I like the protection of leather and they are comfortable and practical for daily riding. A solid choice for under 100 dollars.

I really wanted to find an ankle height boot for daily commuting because my Sidi boots (While amazing) are not too comfortable or practical coming up to the knee for daily riding.
(Or rather, after riding you look a bit out of place)
These A-stars are awesome! I had been trying to decide between several brands but Im glad I went with my gut. The fit is a bit smaller than normal - I wear a 10.5 shoe and went with a 10 - but it fits great. My biggest compliment is how comfortable they are on and off the bike.
They are basically a bit stiffer than regular tennis shoes, much more flexible than most other boots, especially in the sole/footbed. They are easy to put on (although not as fast as some since they have shoelaces).
The sole seems like your going to bust your butt since there is no noticeable tread pattern, but surprisingly even on wet pavement (even slick smooth concrete) they are sure footed! I was impressed, the flat bottom is somehow really secure despite no physical tread.
The best part too, with jeans these look nearly as natural as regular shoes, nobody can see they are ankle high and they are really BA looking!
Overall Id definitely recommend these shoes/boots and would buy them again in an instant - and for 120 dollars, its a steal!

COLOR: I bought the Mirrored "RST Silver" for my Icon Torrent. I was worried about how dark it would be and if it would look silly. Thankfully, the inside is barely darker than light smoke, Id call it somewhere in the middle of Light Smoke and Dark Smoke. Its about as dark as your standard sunglasses, and you can still see ok in the evening/early morning. I was glad too, the mirror finish is not exactly chrome looking, it actually looks kind of like a metallic reflective black. Which I think looks way cooler anyway! Its sort of Gunmetal looking rather than a bright silver. However in dead on lighting and at the right angle it does get a brighter sheen. Overall Im very pleased with the color.
FIT: The shield change took me literally about 5 seconds on the Icon Alliance helmet. You simply click an orange tab to "open" on both sides, and lift up, the new visor goes on, snap the two orange clips back to "closed" and your done. If you have side covers like my Torrent does, you just pop them off the old visor and slap them on the new one. VERY EASY.
OVERALL: I think its a good value and I would recommend this if your considering a new visor color.
Yes, I recommend this product.

What are the technical details of the Chameleon shield?
Does the Chameleon shield change tint? Is it like a transition lense?
No and No. It is simply a visual look. The chameleon has the same tint as the Silver, Blue and Gold Visors, it does not change. The only thing different is the colors look different depending on how much light is out and from which angle you view it. Otherwise its just a medium smoke visor.

UV ray protection
Does the Pro-shield protect from UV rays?
I called Icon and he said all the tinted Visors/Shields have a place on a graph measuring UV rays against penetration. Its available in a PDF format to look at if you want to know if yours is or not. The guy I worked with said overall if its darker than clear then yes, just a matter of how much that varies. You can ask them for the PDF if your curious.

what does the RST mean in front of the shield color names in the proshield line?
I actually called Icon to find out for you and they didnt know either, funny.
