Icon Field Armor and HELD gloves

Icon Field Armor Vest :: New Enough, LTD

Excellent field armor! Great finish, highly adjustable, very comfy! My back is now protected and I recommend everybody get a back protector!


Held Thrux Motorcycle Gloves :: New Enough, LTD

Cali_Rider recommended the brand HELD for gloves, and since I needed some gauntlet gloves for the track, I bought a pair of these... went on a quick ride yesterday and they are great! Adjustable in 2 areas, great finish, great feel!

Plus they used kangaroo leather... can`t beat that lol


Oh and finally, just for those who don`t already know: newenough.com rocks!

Didn't know that the field armor was $100! Me likes. Do you think it will be uncomfortable for summer riding on not?

Nope, I think it will be perfect! It has mesh frabic and I can`t imagine it creating heat issues.

Nice....I'll keep it in mind as an upgrade. I currently own a Knox back protector but I was looking for something that has some chest protection too. If it's easy to get on and off & is not too hot for summer, this is my next piece of gear :rockon:

Nice choice.
I have Icon Field Armor Boots and Held Thrux gloves in black.
Boots might be a little on a bulky side but awesome protection tho. As for the gloves, nothing but the best. You can feel everything in these gloves.
Held is a top manufacturer of gloves, so anything you get from them is top knotch...:thumbup:

i loved my HELD gloves when i had them, so soft, so comfy, AND a windshield wiper built in...

top notch gloves IMO.

I will look into the armor too, i need to pick some up for my track days, borrowing is a pain...

dont you think that back protector is kind of flimsy wavex?

i looked at it but ended up getting a Knox one (shown below)

the one i got is extremely thick but is VERY reassuring.

but anything is better than nothing. and you get SQUAT in jackets themselves, you get like a piece of paper in there i swear.

The Icon is articulated, but each plate is made of hardened plastic which does not feel flimsy at all It actually feels like you could hit my back with a baseball bat and I'd be fine :rockon:

The Knox looks good too though...

My newest jacket has the knox armor built in. Good stuff.

the field armor fits under my suit!!! stoked
