Any Sportster riders out there wearing ICON gear? I was checking out their stealth jackets and regulator vests with the armor and they look pretty nice.

 

I wear the Icon Armour Vest. Not the Leather Ruff Ryder looking ones but the actual hard Spine Vest that makes you look like a Ninja Turtle lol But its nice and supports/guards your spine amazingly

 

I ride with Icon gear. I have the strong arm 2 jacket and the Icon regulator vest. The stripped down one. It doesn't say Icon across the front. Icon makes great quality gear.

 

I don't have a Sportster...Dyna and Ultra, but can I chime in?

I have a nice Icon Daytona leather jacket and it's well built, functional, and looks great.

 

Some icon stuff is priced outragously.

 

How's the spine protector in that vest? Comfortable?

 

It's not bad. You don't really notice it. But if it's a problem, you can remove it.

 

I wear the Icon Victory Death or Glory jacket, along with matching helmet...

 

I have been wondering about icon jackets as well, I actually like those armor jackets/jerseys, but I have never seen anybody wear them on cruisers. It is hard in the texas heat to wear a jacket, even a mesh jacket. It is still too hot. Almost bought a dainese jacket but the sleeves were not long enough for me. I guess Italians are not that tall.

 

The Icon stuff I've tried on was mid tier quality, much better than the no name stuff leatherup and similar sell, about the same as Joe Rocket and Speed and Strength but not quite as good as the more expensive leather from Rev'It or Dainese

The vest is designed to wear over a jacket so you can attach patches to it. Personally I think vests are about as useful as tassels on the handlebars.



Look for a perforated or vented jacket if you drive in hot weather.
