motorcycle accessory warehouse has the timax gloves for $60 on closeout I believe. Lemme find 'em. Hmm...

A lil more than they used to be but still cheap.

I have the Super Duty gloves ($45) and they're falling apart. The reinforced leather fingertips were meant to be used on XL+ and made the fingertips flare out. I hate that because they don't snug the fingertips. In fact, they make them looser than the non reinforced area. I wear medium.

I took my pair and put it up against a new L and XL, and the leather reinforced tips were the same size on the L and XL, it didn't flare out. This tells me that they use Large parts on Small and Medium gloves. This is fine on Large or XL, but obviously a shortcut to decrease production costs was practiced.

I haven't noticed this with other lines and may very well relate to only this glove model. I do like their helmets.

All of Icon's gear is made in China.

Not to say it's bad stuff, but quality control problems are to be expected.

i bought one of the leather jackets. it's pretty basic red and black. fits me well and i like the red so i am more visible. my only complaint on the jacket so far is that the locker loop broke it's stitching within the first month, but i just hang it on a hanger now anyway heh.

The Icon stuff I tried on felt really cheap compared to other gear, the armor was not as good, it seems to be more about looks then anything else.

That being said, I have a pair of Icon barrier jeans that I love, though I wouldn't trust my torso to thier jackets.

I've got the icon motorhead jacket in solid black. It's not very flashy at all, heavier leather and higher quality stitching/snaps/zippers than anything else I tried at the shop hands down. zip-out liner makes a big difference, and it seems to have good ventilation too.(hasn't been warm enough to really test it much.)
