| Icon sucks  The Field Armor Leg/Knee armor won't fit me. bummer. They say you have to have a calf size of 16" or less... gotta be a freakin' horse jockey i guess.Icon Field Armor Leg :: New Enough Motorcycle Apparel And this AlpineStars armor looks super cheesy, like it would just rotate if it didn't take a straight 'square on' impact. We all know when you go down gear likes to twist on the body. Alpinestars Reflex Motorcycle Knee Guards :: New Enough Motorcycle Apparel These look better than the A-Stars "Reflex" guards... anyone have these pictured below? Opinions?

| Re: Icon sucks i own the icon knee/shin guards and love them.... but i have a 15.5" calf and they are almost too small... i think they should make different sizes to they fit everyone. |

| Re: Icon sucks Yep, big Sasqwuach here. lol My calf measures 19.5 inches... no fat though. I ended up buying a Teknic back protector... looks like it would protect my back well in the event of an accident... also has a velcro weight belt thing that attaches it to the lower waiste... supposedly New Enough said it should help lower back pain on those longer rides. |

| Re: Icon sucks Fastrr - I'm curious - I'm a runner and we have similarly sized calves. I bought some Sidi Vertigos recently and got rid of them because they couldn't handle my calf with leathers tucked in -- way too tight. Got some A*stars SM-X recently and they are a bit roomier and I'll live with them for now. What boots do you ride? |

| Re: Icon sucks Quote:
I ride with cheapo boots lol. I'm looking at the Alpi SMX boots though. I went ahead and got that Teknic back protector.. my back is already a little messed up so i figure this will be good added protection. I haven't tried on riding/racing boots yet so I am glad you mentioned the Sidi boots. I've also heard the Corsa boots tend to hang up on the heel guards of some riders/bikes. They caused couple track riders nearly crash. Maybe in a few weeks i'll spring for some SMX or Oxtar boots. | |

| Re: Icon sucks The Setup Vision boots look like a good affordable boot. I belive they are made by Sidi. |

| Re: Icon sucks I have an ICON Merc jacket and it is an allright piece of gear for the money and will do until I can save enough for a nice Vanson leather Jacket. |
