So, I just stumbled upon BPG's (your) bike crash, and I really hope you're better now. I always liked ICON gear but am slightly skeptical about gear handling heat.

I'm thinking of the following gear:

Helmet: Airframe
Jacket: Arc Mesh
Gloves: Arc
Pants: Arc Mesh
Boots: Field Armor

Few questions:

How good is the Airframe air-flow?
Would I be able to wear the full Arc set in 80-100 degree heat without passing out?
Ever tried those boots on?

Thanks

I live in AZ and that is the only gear that I have found to breathe well enough for the 110 degree heat here.

The Airframe has awesome venting. Demoed one the other day and want to purchase one now.

BTW, a year later and I still feel it.....

I'm sorry to hear that bro :(. Thank God for the gear you had on though otherwise who knows what would've happened. Hopefully it'll get better over time, but I guess thats what they told you last year -_-.

Going to go soon to the icon dealer here and see what sort of insane mark-ups they have.

I have the Hooligan mesh jacket and the ARC mesh over paints and they work great. [up] Im a big fan of the Icon stuff. Never tried there helmets but my buddy has the Decay Domain helmet and said he likes it, hes used to wear Arai so he knows good helmets.
