it offers chest and back protection
plus most people think it looks gangster

 

I love all my icon stuff. Went down riding backwards not more than 2 hours ago. Bike just shot right when I turned around and drove right towards a curb. I That vest saved my ***... well saved my back. I've never had troubles with the velcro.

 

good to know cuz i definitly am not into gettin broke off if i can prevent it as much as possible, but maybe next summer ill break down and buy one cuz it is almost oct and i do live in seattle so the eight months of rain is on it's way real quick, god i hate the pacific north west in the fall and winter

 

I love all my icon

 

i love my icon vest... went down on my back early in the game and tore myself up... i havent fallen on my back since like the first time but when that time comes... i'm ready.....

 

i'd rather wear it and not need it then ride with out it

 

with the exeption of a helmet, the only thing gear does is keep you from getting road rash. other than that gear is just a false sense of security when it comes to breaking bones. i just wear the vest because i would hate to have my sharp *** bar slice my back open or hit me in the chest somehow.

 

Many a rider is still able to walk because of impact absorbed by a good back protector....

 

I like my Icon Armor but I have the same problem with the velcro, here you can get the best alternative... www.stuntragz.com

 

the stuntragz vest looks like after the first time you fall and rip the back of it your plates will fall out... i wish i had 2 more hands so i could give that vest 4 thumbs down

 

I do´t see it that way, heard it´s solid and very comfortable, it will be my next vest for sure!

 

I just had a pair of Icon street gloves split along a finger seem.
Took em back, got a new pair and they're solid so far.
I'm def going for a vest though.
The 12 bar's on the way so I guess they'll go together!!
Fabric upgrading is always pretty easily pulled off.:YEAH

 

I like the vest but it is a piece of ****.Mine started to **** up after 4 months.
I ate *** one day and the impact of the concrete wasn't that bad.They definitely made for falling backward on sit down.

 

That vest is alright lookin in the front.But ugly than a ***** in the back.yeah look like cotton in the front.We'll see how it down next yr.

 

I bought this off ebay. It's a brand I've never heard of but... it works for me pretty good. The lower part acts like one of those back support belts, big velcro elastic straps. I suppose you could cut off the arms an use it as just a vest but... I use it as is, I feel alot more aggressive when I'm wearin it!

that's all it has is spine protection but if you crash hard enough to do spinal damage and that's all your wearing what happens to the rest of you?
