Icon Clothing

Icon motorcycle clothing covers road jackets, leather and textile trousers, reinforced jeans, protective base layers, vests and standalone guards. Some pieces prioritise airflow, others add insulation or wet-weather features, and the protection supplied varies by model.

Start with the garment type and riding conditions, then read the exact material, EN 17092 class and included armour specification. A mesh jacket, leather trouser and compression protector layer are not alternatives for the same job.

Choose Icon clothing by garment type

• Textile jackets: compare mesh area, outer material, liners, ventilation, fit and the precise EN 17092 class.
• Leather jackets and trousers: check leather thickness where stated, stretch panels, ventilation, connection features and intended riding position.
• Riding trousers and jeans: compare the main chassis, reinforcement zones, included knee or hip armour and leg cut.
• Protective base layers: identify which impact zones are covered and what abrasion-resistant outer garment is still required.
• Vests and guards: choose the correct body zone and size, then make sure the protection remains positioned when seated on the bike.

Warm-weather mesh and ventilated jackets

Mesh garments are designed to move more air than solid textile or leather constructions. Icon's Mesh AF CE jacket uses an Iron Weave mesh chassis with 300D polyester reinforcement and a model-specific D3O package. Other ventilated models use their own material layouts, so compare how much of the garment is mesh and whether a removable liner is included.

Airflow does not remove the need for correct fit. Shoulder, elbow and back protectors must stay centred in a normal riding posture, and sleeves should remain long enough with arms extended to the controls.

Weather protection and layering

A removable insulated liner adds warmth but does not automatically make a jacket waterproof. Likewise, a water-resistant outer can cope with different conditions from a garment with a specified waterproof membrane. For variable British weather, check the construction and carry a separate waterproof layer when the product is not explicitly rated for sustained rain.

Leave enough adjustment for planned layers without allowing the garment and armour to move excessively. A close technical layer can manage comfort under a jacket, while a protective compression top adds impact coverage but does not replace the abrasion resistance of certified outerwear.

EN 17092 classes and impact protectors

EN 17092 classifies protective motorcycle garments, with the class applying to the complete tested garment. Impact protectors have separate standards: limb protectors use EN 1621-1 and back protectors use EN 1621-2. Check both the garment class and the level and body zone of the armour supplied.

Icon uses several D3O families and levels across the range. If you want to change an insert, match its shape and size to the garment pocket. Browse Icon body armour for replacement protectors, fitted layers and standalone guards.

Fit checks before riding

• Use the size chart for the exact men's or women's garment.
• Try it with the base and mid-layers you expect to wear.
• Sit in your riding position and reach the controls.
• Confirm shoulder, elbow, knee and back protection stays over the intended area.
• Check cuffs overlap gloves and jacket and trouser hems work with your boots.
• Make sure closures and adjustment straps are secure without restricting movement.
