EVERY thing that is Textile is STREET GEAR! 90% of what every major manufacture makes is street gear.
I like Scorpion's helmets... don't know about their gear... but marko's point is that VB is saying that Icon would be cheaper and fit better than Teknic... well 1. how... they don't even offer a similar product... they offer like what 1 set of leather pants? and 2. they're new... yes all companies were new at one time... but Teknic's got the track record for having good shit... same with A*'s... right now Icon can't fuck with that... there's a reason Icon's gear is cheaper... ithey're new and they're trying to get a solid customer base before they raise their prices (inevetably) and their gear wouldn't sell for shit next to Teknic or A* or even Joe Rocket if priced the same. |

Oh I don't know about that now. I'm sorry Teknic lovers but I wore them for almost 10 years,then Dainese,then A* and now Icon. Teknic is not better than Icon for protevtion or quality. What is killing me about this whole discussion is a total avoidance of facts. Teknics makes some WAY flashy gear, I've often suspected that Icon and Teknics are made in the same place. I'm gonna research this alittle because I believe that I was told by a Parts Unlimited rep that a number of different gear manufacturers are made in the same factory in China. I'm gonna look into it.

avoidance of what facts? you've yet to provide any yourself. I said Teknic has a track record for having good shit... not that it was better than Icon... just that they've been around and proven themselves so they'd have a tough time selling next to PROVEN companies... what marko and I were talking about was the comment about the track pants that I bought... that VB said Icon's would fit better and be cheaper... sure cause if you don't offer anything it's free... free=cheaper... I got ya... My only issue with Icon is that they don't make any NON-flashy gear... sure Teknic, shit even A* makes some flashy shit... (none as flashy as Icon IMO) but they make a lot of "subdued" gear... and Icon doesn't make anything but street gear |
