I have the icons and I dont like them at all. They're always sliding out of place. My next one's will def. be something different.

My ICONs are just fine. My only complaint is they're too big on me (but that's because I'm a small dude)

ICON knee guards BLOW. They slide around every 5 minutes.

I use Dainese 3x Knee Guards and have zero complaints. They don't restrict your movement and absolutely never, ever, ever budge.
