Here at Hot Bike, we get mega-info on the latest and greatest riding gear sent in by manufacturers each month. Riding Essentials gives us the opportunity to take a few pages to show you the goods and tell you what we think. This month's gear happens to all be from Icon. But remember to check back each month, as we will continually mix things up.
You can find all this Icon gear and more by contacting your local Drag Specialties dealer or by checking out http://www.rideicon.com
Fits Like A GloveShort ones, long ones, thick ones-it doesn't really matter, as long as it fits and functions well. Icon's perforated sheepskin Pursuit glove conforms to your hand and provides defense against the asphalt with a reinforced goatskin leather palm. We like the asphalt protection offered by the glove's integrated knuckle armor...or for those cases where you need to put up your dukes. The Pursuit glove is available in sizes S-3XL.
As Fate Would Have ItThe Strongarm Fate jacket puts a little spin on our material world. Merging a denim chassis and leather-etched leather sleeves, this jacket provides a cool combo of style and versatility. Instead of owning another leather jacket-most likely black-we like the fact that you get the best of both worlds. The Strongarm Fate can be a three-season jacket, with a removable vest and zippered vents for climate control. CE-approved removable shoulder and elbow armor and Aramid-reinforced shoulders provide abrasion resistance. The Strongarm Fate jacket is available in sizes S-4XL.
Feeling Hot, Hot, Not!Do you find yourself cooking in your riding jacket during the summertime? Beat those body-melting days with Icon's Pursuit jacket. What's cool about this jacket is just that-the all-over perforation helps you to stay cool.
We also dig the zip-off sleeves, as much for their maximum cooling ability as a handy way of showing off your muscles. CE-approved removable shoulder and elbow armor help combat a nasty encounter with the asphalt. The Pursuit jacket is available in sizes XS-3XL.
