I got the alliance SS

It's only heavy when compared to a MX helmet, or a baller helmet like a Shoei or Arai

But damn it feels like it weighs 30 pounds when compared to my MX helmet that weighs 1/4oz

the domain is their flagship model. its a carbon fiber/aramid/dyneema compound so it's strong yet reasonably lightweight. it looks bad ass and is extremely comfortable. go to your local bike shop and try one on.

Btw tried on my buddys THOR shin/knee guards, they are fucking DOPE!

He wears them for woods racing on his quad, hes a skinny guy too, and they don't slide down on him at all

Best part is, they are only like $18 retail, and he gets em for $12 from a local shop new

Gonna get me a set, as well as some elbow pads.. I think I can get both for $25

Icon ftw, My icon gear held up damn good skidding across the asphalt at 70mph

timleg · 07-14-2008, 04:29 PM

havn't bought the icon vest, but have the jacket and gloves and they work really good, fell at least 4-5 times on my gloves and they are still holding together nice.

I use armor when riding the dirt bike. My favorites for quality are Alpinestar and 661.
