Icon Hooligan Jacket

[fz6joker]

Has anybody else came across the stereotype that "people who wear Icon gear are just :squid:"


I wear an Icon Hooligan Jacket, like the one at Icon Battlecry Hooligan Jacket Black

Why should some people consider me a :squid:???
I like looking like I should be on a motorcycle. I ride all year long and like having a jacket that is stylish AND will save my butt if I hit the pavement.

I have had my Icon jacket for over a year now and it has seen plenty of weather, rain, harsh sun and high temps as well as freezing temps. Its pretty much a do all jacket, and most of all it keeps me warm in the winter with the optional "zip-in" liner and cool in the summer with the air flowing through the mesh textile fabric.

You damn Hooligan!!!

Man I stopped caring what others though a long time ago. As long as you know you're safe then F them. In fact you can throw them the bird as your passing their ass!

I wear the icon mil-spec reflective vest when I go out for long rides or in low visibility situations, so I qualify as an Icon :squid: too :rockon: .

Thought squids only wear t-shirts, jeans, and Nike's... or this guy.

I really dig Icon's styling and have been thinking about getting the hooligan for a while now. I see it works well...

I happen to like most products made by Icon. I just picked up a pair of Icon ARC textile pants, and I'm far from being a squid

I dig Icon gear too, I've got some riding pants and jeans by them and they fit really well and look good too. I'd like to pick up a jacket but they are wicked $$$. I dont consider them :squid: gear, but I think they market their stuff to younger aged riders and stunters.

He's got eye-protection too, def good to go...:rof:

I don't care if people call me a sqid b/c I wear Icon, I was really just wondering if anybody else had picked up on the "stereotype" I plan to buy some pants for the summer from them and I'm constantly looking at their new gear online. I love the styling of Icon.

I like Icon's stuff, especially their jackets. The people who hate on their stuff are the same jag-offs that rep alpinestar hats sideways and have never even ridden on a motorcycle.

I wear the Daytona Stealth also a Mil-spec vest. I to need to find a summer over pant as well the khakis don't provide enough protection

 

[MarinaFazer]

The reason for seeing a lot of guys who are :squid: wearing Icon is because of the graphics and also because of the pricetag. Me? I prefer A* leather gear because it's thick...and Sidi boots because they're the best/most comfy for me. BUT I've been scheming on the Icon chest/back protector...but might stick with A* for that too LOL

So true, I feel the same

What are the opinions of Shift gear and jackets? I like how they look and the plain black on most of the jackets is what I am looking for in a new jacket, but they put these obnoxious "bad ass" graphics on the back. They have two models I like, one has a skull with a rattlesnake going through it and the other has flaming dice or something.

Any thoughts?

 

[MarinaFazer]

That's where the classification comes from Mike...the graphics..Most of the squids want to be flashy for everyone else instead of safe

they "roll those dice" every time they ride in their t-shirt.

I hope I am not being misinterpreted because I definitely don't condone douchebags (sorry) riding around in t-shirts and sandals. I just like the way the jackets would look sans embroidered flames, skulls, and other supposed "bad ass" imagery all bikers supposedly look for.
