Icon Raiden UX Jacket & UX Pants: For It All


Like riding dirt and adventure bikes, but motocross jersey too light for the havoc you wreak?  Icon might just have the answer you’ve been looking for.  The Raiden UX Jacket and Pants are like jerseys on steroids, keeping you protected from everything in the woods and everything on the street.

Icon Raiden UX Motorcycle JacketIcon Raiden UX Jacket is made of a 4-way stretch HYCOR waterproof/breathable chassis which adds ruggedness, a relaxed fit, and greater dexterity for off road riding - all while remaining waterproof.  Coming with a full compliment of armor in the shoulders, elbows, and back - you’ll be more than protected during backwoods shenanigans.

Icon Raiden UX Jacket Review:


Icon Raiden UX Motorcycle PantsIcon Raiden UX Pants will match nicely.  Knee and hip armor coupled with the same HYCOR chassis means you’ll be protected, dry, and free to move around comfortably.  Full length zippers mean easy in and out, even with huge clodhoppers. A loose Icon overpant fit means they’ll fit just about anyone, and give a gentle reminder of the 90s when JNCOs were something you wore non-ironically.  They look a lot like normal jeans too, so you won’t be screaming “motorcycle” if you have to stop at a gas station for a quick refuel.  Dirt meets city meets street.

Icon Raiden UX Pants Review:


Icon doesn’t screw around when it comes to innovation.  Though not exactly groundbreaking, their stuff is always unique and pushes boundaries in every direction.  The Raiden UX gear tackles problems we didn’t know we had, but that makes sense now that there’s a solution.  And that - that we’re okay with.

Icon Retrograde: Jacket, Boots, & Gloves


I know what you’re thinking. It’s 2016, elections are just around the corner, politicians are making their final ploys at swaying voters, gas prices are “magically” reaching their four year low cycle, and as our tax deadlines approach all a rider can think about is what our next piece of riding gear will be. Choosing which body part is going to win out and be replaced or upgraded is like voting in the primary. The brand we ultimately select is the final election, and we’ll be with our new gear into the foreseeable future. This spring you can’t go wrong with the new Icon 1000 Retrograde lineup. With their affordable pricing, you might be able to pick up all three. The Icon 1000 Retrograde Jacket, Boots, and Gloves almost seem too good to be true; mixing slick fashion and high end materials without the high-end prices.

Icon 1000 Retrograde Motorcycle JacketIcon 1000 Retrograde Jacket. Coming in a rich black or chestnut brown with a removable insulated SatinCore vest liner, the Icon 1000 Retrograde Jacket adds a whole lot of sport bike tech to what is essentially a retro cafe piece. The tactical black-oxide metal zippers along with Icon’s mechanical articulated paneling behind the shoulders to provide increased shoulder and arm articulation add an element of premium ruggedness. The inner arms have perforated leather while the upper arm leather is quilted stitching underneath, get this, a metallic alloy shoulder slider. The whole jacket has 1.1mm or thicker leather and D3O impact protectors at the shoulders, elbow, and back. The Icon 1000 Retrograde Jacket is an attack fit, meaning the body is tailored and the arms are pre-curved. Coming in at $650 is difficult for a jacket of this caliber, but the cherry on top is the numbered identification plaque.

A goatskin chassis surrounds the premium and seamless kangaroo palm. Kangaroo is able to provide the same or better abrasion resistance as other leathers while being much thinner, giving your palms the protection needed without sacrificing tactile feedback. The steampunk vibe is realized in the ample use of accordion expansion gussets across the fingers, thumb, and back of the palm, topped off with Predator quality thermoplastic knuckle protectors with titanium plating. You’ll also find titanium in the cuff logo and D3O inserts! Despite the ample use of premium materials, the Icon 1000 Retrograde Gloves cost a very modest $100 and are available in an ultra-stealthy black or desert tan.

Icon 1000 Retrograde Gloves Review:


Icon Retrograde Motorcycle BootsIcon Retrograde Boots are also available in stealth black with a prominent metallic alloy shin plate. If you prefer the richer earthy hues of the Icon 1000 Retrograde Jacket and Gloves, the Boots pull those colors together in a two-toned chestnut brown and tan. Entry into the boot is controlled with a smooth rear entry zipper while the lower snap buckle and velcro on the side of the calf fine tune the boot to your needs. Perforated leather controls ventilation while malleolus inserts and additional layers of leather over the toe box and heel aide protection. The Icon Retrograde Boots are arriving just in time for our fall elections at $260.

Icon has been delivering amazing amounts of value in each subsequent product release. The new Icon 1000 Retrograde Jacket, Gloves, and Boots are no exception. Unlike our politicians and luckily for us riders, Icon is actually delivering on their promises of providing exceptionally styled and protective equipment using premium materials at an affordable price point.

Icon Hypersport Vests: Suns Out Guns Out


Suns out Guns out! If that is your motto, you will be very excited about the new ICON Hypersport Prime Vest and ICON Hypersport Stripped Vest.

Icon Hypersport Stripped Motorcycle VestIcon Hypersport Stripped Vest may look like your basic vest but it packs some hidden features. It is made of a 1.2-1.4mm TrackSpec leather chassis, has a removable insulated liner, and comes with a D3O back protector. There is a ton of perforation so airflow will not be an issue. ICON also left the back panel open so you have room for your colors if needed.

Icon Hypersport Stripped Vest Review:


Icon Hypersport Prime Motorcycle VestIcon Hypersport Prime Vest is really a cut down, sleeveless version of the Hypersport Prime jacket. You can expect much more aggressive styling with the chest patch and fully armored back. The Hypersport Prime Vest still boasts a 1.2-1.4mm TrackSpec leather chassis, removable insulated liner, and a D3O back protector like the Hypersport Stripped Vest. Both options stick to ICON’s attack fit and have a 3/4 waist zipper that connects to Hypersport Pants.


Icon Hypersport Prime Vest Review:


These vests remind us that spring and summer are just around the corner. Stick to those new year's resolutions and shape up the arms of a Greek God. You know you want to go sleeveless and you know it will be in one of the new ICON vests.
