Icon Kitty 2005 *ladies reply*

[honeyRR]

Would you girls wear this? As a whole outfit? I think the jacket's alright but other than for the sole purpose of kinkyness I don't think I'd bust out w/the chaps..

[honeyRR]

jacket

[honeyRR]

[Cyanide41]

So you would wear chaps in attempt to be kinky???? NICE!!

Sure, wouldn't you? heheh ;)

[CBR250RR]

Check out the matching helmet... I guess the ladies don't have an opinion on the new line?

[Ninja Girl]

The jackets don't look too bad, if I was simply a passenger, I might wear the chaps, but my main concern is that the jackets don't appear to have very good armor.

Cute style, but I'm afraid that it wouldn't provide as good protection in the event of an accident.

In other words, it's made by Icon. ;)

That picture of the six-shooter on the chaps seals the deal huh? ;)

Please do not bastardize this thread...its hard enough to have female riders on the board, please respect this thread. I think that vroom vroom and h2o-girl might chime in...

[powerban]

Aren't there any good women's gear? I have a Joe Rocket women's jacket, but it look's just like the men's jacket. I am wanting to find a good set of one piece leathers, or even two piece with full zipper, but haven't been able to find any in women's.

Oh, nothing.. I was just looking around for a leather jacket, I don't know if I'm willing to dish out 700 something dollars for the ku****ani leather.. got any suggestions?

dainese is about 400-600..thats a lil cheaper. Dont worry about getting something japanese. Find something that looks good and fits..and you're set to go. when you do. lets go out for a ride.

[CBR250RR]

A website/store dedicated to girl gear would make crazy $$$.

Anyone takes my idea and doesn't cut me a check sucks.

[Cyanide41]

You should be able buy the armor seperately and stick it in the Icon jackets. That is if they have the pockets for armor on the inside. Can verify that they do? I think ICON gear looks pretty good, but their armor is crap. Like 1/4 inch thick foam pad.

Only problem is that you can't purchase the pants and jacket separately.... One of my female friends who just got into riding was looking to do this and she wanted to buy the jacket to start as funds were shy due to buying the bike among other issues. What's the deal with that? I think you can buy the fella jackets separately... anyone know any different?

That site is kind of misleading if you can't because that girl pictured here....

http://www.alpinestars.com/_lp/jackets/img_grlbeach.jpg

....Is wearing the TZ-1 jacket (which can presumably only be purchased in the form of a wo-piece suit and the "4W Cat" pants.... something's a foot...

[Shortee]

this is true, cant buy ladies tz-1 jacket only, i had to buy the set but hey at least i didnt have to invest in a suit as well ;)....although, if u buy the men's jacket separately, it looks different--it doest have the a* in the middle, its off to the side

the dyno and v4 ladies jackets can be bought solo and they are both really cute :)

Cute? ok ok "cute" yes... but the TZ-1 A-star in the middle... it's freaking dope

[cbrsmurf]

Yea, women don't have much choice in leathers selection, but those icon jackets look pretty cool. I don't believe Icon has started selling their new 05 line yet, but once they do, I'm pretty sure Buymoto will have the lowest prices on them anywhere.

Hopefully manufacturers will make more women's apparel. It's not that stores don't want to carry women's stuff -- it's because manufacturers won't make the women's apparel.

[Chic_Rider]

The jacket looks nice...but yea, doesn't look like a much padding.

to be honest ICON has GEWD ass protection dunt believe ur talkin to a survivor. it might sound dum but i survive because of icon. it saved me TWICE. i got into an accident at 130 MPH. saved my whole upper body..

He had to slow down from 160 to adjust his mirrors.

[JesseJames]

Yea, ICON has "gewd ass" protection.

Like their new zip off sleeve leather jacket. No bull****, they are actually making it.

ICON-gear for squids.

I AM LOVIN' THE CHAPS....

[gixxerx8]

I think ICON is fine for street wear and some medium intensity riding. The funny thing is I see guys getting ballsy in jeans where the ICON clothing definitely provides better protection. I do like the blue/white jacket for the women IMO. I may pick it up for the wife.

[cycle_chick]

I'd wear the suit (minus the fringe), the only thing about the ladies jackets is that they usually don't go down as far and I heard a story once of another girl crashing and getting her back and side torn up because the jacket was so short it didn't stay down. Plus jeans are so low rise nowaday that if you have a short "girl's jacket" the whole world sees your thong. I got my leathers made custom (it really isn't all that much more expensive)
-Sandahl

[MatrixChick04]

i'm thinking the jacket is sweet, but from what i heard Icon isn't the best to crash in. if was made by like alpinestars i so would have gotten that for my b-day jacket.

Thanks girl, I gotta admit that I'm sad about it, but I'm hella glad he's walking and still got all ten fingers and toes (Victor, not the bike hahah). We were at urgent care for a good 4 hours.. I'll let him post his injuries later.. Thanks for all your help! Now I regret not introducing myself to you when I noticed you at bike night, I was shy and I think you know how it's different trying to aproach another chick than it is a guy ;) Thanks again for taking care of my baby.. oh, and Victor.. :-p

[remusR6]

Yes..they came a long way.Lot's of option an protection.Killer design! And it's a San Diego based company...from what I heard.
So it's nice to support them.

[remusR6]

For military too!!!!

[remusR6]

I love the helmet!

[remusR6]

Sweet!

[remusR6]

I can't get over this design and over all look and feel.

That military vest is dope!!! If I was in the forces and had to wear an orange vest, I'd get that for sure.

[remusR6]

You have too...it's enforced! You know that....I love it too,just because it so visible!
Hard to choose...but it's good we have options.

Any time honee, (i spell with double Es) About bike night, it's all good gurl. Yeah, next time say WAAAASUP (or I will if I know it's you)! or maybe we can even hang out sometime soon, just holla atcho gurl! I'm very easy to approach and I DON'T BITE. I'm not one to snob. I don't hate on other people. Leave the DRAMA sh1t at home mang...nah meen?
Urgent Care will do you like that...but as soon as you contact your PCP and you tell them you were in UC and were advised to be seen within days by the MD, that's when your PCP will see you (if they're booked months in advance) I'm sure we'll hear all about it soon. Bike is replaceable not VICTOR...

Second that, I might even just get it for safety's sake

[remusR6]

Yeah...I thought about the same thing.I used to ride early in the morning...and for some reasons,here, in Sorrento Valley it's ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!! foggy in the morning.I could not see a 20 feet in front of me.And riding at 50-70miles/hour....you need to be as visible as posible.I'm lucky, I have been living in Mira Mesa and using the same route to work, for over 9 years..and I can freakin' ride blindfolded..if I try hard.When I got here, I had no car and used to ride my bike to work every day to La Jolla.DAMN I was in good shape for a year:-)))).I'm sure the vest goes easy over any jackets.
Not a bad product...and you can put your badge in the pocket for easy access.

I'm sure you guys can buy it.It's available everywhere where it sells ICON apparel. Like: www.BuyMoto.com If not in stock....easy to order:-)))))

Let's do a group buy again:-))))))))))))))))

Remus I don't know what you do for work, but you need to quit tomorrow morning, then go be a salesman for Buymoto. lol You're like a talking gear catalog. :-p

:cheers:

[deathblow]

Yep, seen all that gear in person already by the Parts Unlimited Rep. Cool stuff, only thing I liked was the vest. The jacket was certainly nice, and I would only dig the chaps on GPTECHMAN without anything under.

[hans]

How much is the vest and those shinguard things?
Wonder if Icon actually asked the military whether that vest meets regulations.

[remusR6]

The vest meets the regulations..that was the idea of making them.Looks better then your 15$ ,cheap, flappy vest you get from the store.


The ICON vest is 50$...and the leg protector is 65$

Umm, those chaps are certainly better than nothing!

[Nenna]

icon gear.... so ick... too flashy, not subtle. i love being a girl who rides, but why turn the girl into a trophy even when she's riding instead of perching on the back? i can't wait for other manufacturers to really open up to the female market though

[vroomvroom]

Yeee Haaawwww!! Hey...I'd go crusin' in that gear on Sean's Vulcan...whaadddup!!!
It's not like you're goin' to wear it to a track day...then again you might... if that's your thing? Icon is all about style.. and this outfit definitely has some flare!

I got to admit, I do like the chaps... but I do agree with you, Nenna, on the fact that there is not enough women's gear. When you're on a bike though, don't you want to be flashy? So people in cars will notice you and won't run you down? That's the whole point of the brightly colored helmets, no?

[Nenna]

helmets are like... shields for knights, y'know? i like being flashy, just... not too chromed out...

[Nenna]

i tried on the motogp rio pants/jacket today. i like very much

[Nenna]

well, i liked them for looks, not for racing/canyons. they are relatively thin leather and have no armor.

[sandalsweety]

I love the Icon Kitty gear. The chaps are a little much. I got both the jacket and the helmet.:-p

[R6CHICK]

I just tried on that outfit last week.........not impressed. I would feel like I were trying too hard to get attention by wearing something that flamboyant, it's one thing to wanna look like a woman, but it's another thing to wear something that says....attention whore all over it.
not to mention.......what happens to your a$$ when you hit the pavement!!! Ouch!

[remusR6]

:-)) Funny :)

By the way.....can you just imagine how many ladies are going to be wearing that suit? I know 6 girls who bought it from Oceanside.

[R6CHICK]

:lol: glad you think so remus.....how are you doing? :-)) Funny :)

[sandalsweety]

Wow, that was kinda harsh, "attention whore"... not really what I was going for, but ok...

[remusR6]

I think they're HOT! Who cares what some people think?
If you look good,sexy in shape,over a pair of jeans or leather pants,now that it's a little colder..looks sweet!
I know some girls think that it spells SLUT all over the chaps...but I like them:-)
I want to see more girs wearing them.I like them Tara:-))) you would look good on those too!

Remus:-))

[remusR6]

I'm good Tara.....I like the new '05 RED R6!! I've seen the black one...but RED?... that's HOT!!!! just like Paris Hilton says it:-)) That's HOT!

Remus

[remusR6]

But I'll take her too:-)) I meant the F4!

[greenFUGU]

sup rem how u doin, hope u doin get. havent seen u around or heard from u..... pm me later or sumthing... hope u got a ride?? haha

[remusR6]

I'm ok..I'm waiting for the rest of my bills to clear than I'll see.Just working,working out...nothing special,going out a lot:-)

Remus

[greenFUGU]

hahaha me too......i work at house of motorcycles.......but i wanna work with bryant n jeff n jae at buymoto.... i like it over there better.......but i cant choose. its okay over here.....

[R6CHICK]

This is the exact reason why I am in the process of starting my own business creating top of the line gear for female riders. Obviously, the riding industry doesn't take women seriously enough. They think we only want to look hot when we ride....they don't realize that women don't need chaps and sky blue jackets to look sexy on a bike...we already do.
However, I like my body in tact...so the only way to get something done the right way is to do it yourself.
If any of the ladies have suggestions about what they would want in a suit or jacket....please feel free to chime in.

[Asian Barbie]

Hey girls, I have the Icon Kitty jacket in black and I absolutely love it! I don't think it's flashy at all, I think they did a cute job designing it. They might have gone overboard with the chaps and the painted on gun holsters. We are riding bikes here, not horses... I don't know why some people look down on Icon, it has plenty of armor and protection.
My favorite thing about it is that it's actually cut to fit a girl. You know, we have boobs, curves... I tried on other brand leather jackets (Alpinestar, JoeRocket) that were Women's styles, and I guess they think girl's bodies go straight down from the shoulders or something, because that was how they fit me. It ends up forming a big baggy bulge around your waist/tummy area when you are bending over to reach the handlebars. The Icon is cut to nip in around the waist so it's actually form-fitting and probably safer in the event of a fall.
R6Chick, that is really cool that you are starting a women's gear line. I think the most important thing is the fit, and Icon was the only brand I came across that seemed to get that part right. And you're right about the colors... I don't know what production bikes come in baby blue and pink, makes it really difficult to coordinate with the bike. Your line should definitely stick with your basic reds, blues, yellows, black/silver, etc.

[remusR6]

Hey Tara? Icon Kitty ...again:-))))

Asian Barbie...you're right! If you look good and the jacket fits well...that's all that matters.I like the Icon gear.Specially, the new stuff now...And girls? They always have the best selection in every store...I guess, they seam to shop a lot more than guys do.
:-)
