hum... tight in the calves huh... that might be their down fall for me... the only part of my body that's not scrawny is my legs

I have very muscular legs, so if you are average in the calves, it should be fine.

Yeah they'll stretch a bit.

Good gawd people!!!

First I must state that the world may be coming to an end fairly soon, Tigger and I are agreeing on yet another topic, altho I am not as forceful as he is by any means.

For those of you hating on Icon, please refer back to some of my other posts...

In the past ICON was all about flash and appearance, but the R&D they have done in the last few years has upgraded the quality of their gear considerably. I have this first hand from personal experience and also my local Parts Unlimited Rep. Does he need to sell this stuff? Yes, but does he tell it like it is? Most definitely!!! Currently ICON is street gear, and like someone else mentioned, very flashy, but they also have low key stuff.

JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER!!!

Until you actually try it out and see what its like, dont knock it!! Keep an open mind and stop harassing brands just cuz you dont like how it looks!! At some point in time we all wear something for looks and not performance! And as far as the performance goes, I'll trust ICON with my body and head every day, just like I trust my Joe Rocket gear, my Scorpion, my HJC, etc, etc etc...Yes, I am a Gear whore and I can vouch for the quality of MY ICON gear any day! If you dont like it, dont wear it! But dont knock it till you have the experience to say one way or another!

oh yeah, while i am thinking about it, most ALL of the stuff discussed here is made in cookie cutter factories overseas...so whether you think its better or not, its most likely all sewn by the same people in the same areas...you want super high quality, go custom!!

Ok you're back on the marriage list!!! BTW the best part for me is,not only have they not tried the gear but they obviously haven't even checked the website to see what Icon actually makes! (except Ebbs,finally)

100% of these jackets are for suckers..... They might offer great protection, but I don't need to be looking like a clown when I roll down the street.

Edit: Of course this is my opinion on the mens gear. They make some cool stuff for the ladies though.

Got ya,there's a picture of Ronald McDonald on the back!!! j/k!

Seriously,would you at least go to Icon's website and look over the entire line up before you pass judgement. Pretty please with sugar on it?!?

ICON does not make track appropriate gear. I can't trust something on the street that can't be track approved... for a few reasons. First of all, it doesn't make financial sense for me to have two wardrobes... one for street and one for track. Second, if I can't trust it on the track... it's not worth it.
