........ You couldn't give me Icon gear to wear now.
I have a pair of Icon Super Duty gloves I purchased USED ( $15 )and they've held up great. They'll gotten completely saturated in the rain at least six times and still look/fit good.

Maybe I lucked out

Vemar helmets are crap. They should be around $150-200 at most. Shit for finish, and super lame visor changing system. Hex bolts? You gotta be shitting me.

Every single person i've seen on Jason Britton's show "Superbikes" is wearing ICON, so I assume since they are all superbike riders that ICON must be good stuff, though i've never owned a piece of it..




I dont know, it may be great stuff, i was just being a smart ass
