The new Sub glove chassis enjoys several benefits previously found only on gloves at a much higher price. Built around a proven Battlehide goatskin palm and finger gussets foundation, the Sub is more than ready for asphalt chaos. A lightweight textile backhand with a high-mobility thumb, not only creates a prime canvas for Icon's finest art, but provides excellent dexterity and abrasion resistance. Completing the protection package is the plastic knuckle armor group fortified to help disperse the shock of the incoming tarmac barrage. The Sub glove - designed to do your dirty work so your skin doesn't have too. Abrasion resistant premium grade Battlehide goatskin palm Injected plastic knuckle armor Short cuff design with secure wrist closure Pre-curved palm and finger design Imported

First, these gloves look awesome. Icon tends to style their products towards the street bikes, but these would look good throttling a Harley, if you so desire. The palm is a little thinner than you might expect, but it gives great tactile feedback and percision (i wrote this sentence actually wearing them). The vents on the knuckle seem a little hokey at first, but they move air amazingly well (at 40 mph in 50 degree weather, my knuckles were frozen). The fingers are pre-curved, but very slightly, so you can straighten them out and not have the glove bunch up at the top. The only thing I have concerns about is how well they'd hold up in a crash. Plastic on the knuckles is hollow (for the vents), so it feels like it would crack under an extreme impact (Haven't tested this yet), and as I said before, the battlehide palm is quite thin. For what you pay, though, I think these are some of the better gloves out there.

Answer Apex Knee Guard
Answer Apex Knee Guard Theres no other knee/shin protector made like this one. Full floating, self-centering knee stays centered over knee cap even on long motos! The perforated PE foam with Airprene padded straps provide a plush layer of comfort between the plastic shield and your knee. Features Polycarbonate shin, nylon knee cup and polypropylene thigh piece leave no exposed knee area to optimize impact performance 2 set and forget adjustable straps with quick-lock fasteners adjust for wide range sizes Totally washable with removable comfort padding is perforated for breathability Straps are padded at the back of the leg for comfort and position retention
Strap for the knee?
It says in the description that there are 3 straps, but I only see 2 in the picture. I'm assuming the third strap goes behind the knee?

Icon Contra Jacket From the shadowy realm of street-styled textile jackets, Icon again tapped their mx roots and tripled into the main. Contra is technically perfect - superior in fit and function to all that came before. Ultra durable nylons are strategically patterned into the industries finest no-bind fit. Fighter mesh panels allow intake and exhaust airflow dramatically reducing the chance of overheating. A full complement of Icon's internal CE approved Field Armor provide ample street insurance. Finally, ballistic rubber badging puts the classy in this chassis. Zip one up and become a believer, this is the ultimate in textile perfection. Durable nylon textile chassis Heavyweight ballistic impact panels Removable CE Field Armor impact protector elbow Removable CE Field Armor impact protector shoulder Removable dual-density foam back pad Removable insulated liner Internal zippered pocket for secure storage Relaxed Icon fit Imported
need help with size please
im 6'4" 170 lbs, i have a hard time finding any jacket slim enough and still long enough, both at the wasit and in the sleeves, looking for something around $200 that can go to about 30 degrees??? please help
I'm 6'1", about 150 lbs. I bought this in an XL, and as far as size goes: the arms a little long for me -but might be a bit short on you- and the body has so much space, I could carry a pillow in it with me. As much as I hate to say it, you might need to look elsewhere, maybe get something custom-tailored.
