Icon’s Hypersport Jacket, Gloves and Pants
Icon has new gear for motorcyclists who prefer a snug, streamlined and aggressive fit for fast sportbike-style riding.
Hypersport Jacket $340-$390
Icon’s Hypersport jacket combines TrackSpec leather and Neoprene panels for a body-hugging fit to make it aerodynamic at speed. It has flex zones, pre-curved arms and articulated streamlined SportCuffs designed to allow for a comfortable range of motion. The insulated SatinCore vest liner is removable, and perforated paneling at the chest and back provide ventilation to reduce body-core temperature. The Hypersport comes with Icon’s CE-certified D3O Impact Protector package, and it can zip to the Hypersport pants. It comes in four colorways.
Hypersport Pants $235
The Hypersport pants are also made with TrackSpec leather, in addition to stretch Cordura and Nylon lowers, a combination that keeps the overall weight to a minimum. TPU knee plates and adjustable D3O knee-impact protectors are coupled with integrated knee and lumbar flex zones for on-bike mobility, while strategic areas of laser-perforated venting and TechMesh paneling help keep everything cool. They are cut to wear over the boots, and have a streamlined tailored fit.
Hypersport Short Glove $135
The chassis of the Hypersport Short glove consists of a French cowhide backhand and a kangaroo palm, which are used to provide optimum abrasion resistance along with dexterity. Additional panels of digital BattleHide goatskin are located in areas of high wear. The fingers are articulated and they include Icon’s floating knuckles design and seams on the outside. They come in five different colors.
