Motorcycle helmets
How do I choose a helmet size?

The first and only rule by which you can immediately understand your size or not – it should fit snugly at all points on the head (forehead, nape, cheeks). Fit snugly, but don't push. Open the visor, stand in the helmet for 2-3 minutes, if it sits tightly and does not create any pain – this is your size. Keep in mind that in the process of using the pillows a little crush and it will be a little freer. If you choose a helmet remotely, on the page with any motorcycle helmet, click "Find your size" and follow the size selection wizard. For online orders, returns and exchanges are also valid.

How reliable are the helmets you sell?
Absolutely all the helmets that we sell have passed the mandatory strict European certification according to the standard ECE22.05R, and ICON helmets meet simultaneously 4 safety standards (DOT FMVSS 218-USA, ECE 22-05 – Europe, SAI AS1698 – Australia and PSC – Japan), which indicates their exceptional reliability. Certified helmet, will not split in half and most effectively disperse the impact and protect.
Why I have the size of the one, and all helmets sit on ways?
The fact that the reference patterns of all manufacturers are different. The same size index, for example M, from different manufacturers may have a different fit. Moreover, different manufacturers produce helmets for different markets and different head shapes. Therefore, when buying a new helmet, do not be guided only by the size of the previous helmet of another brand. Always measure your head in centimeters and select according to the manufacturer's size table. Master size selection on our website will help.
What type of helmet clasp is better?
There are two types of fasteners: ratchet and 2D ring. 2D ring is considered the most reliable, because it can not unbutton itself in an emergency, only this type of fasteners on helmets has access to professional competitions and Championships.
Helmets on the form are all different. What I need?
  • integral or fullface (full-face) – the most reliable helmet that protects the face completely and is designed for the city. It can be bought if you drive on asphalt
  • open or 3/4 three quarters – can be used on scooter or chopper. This helmet has more style and ventilation than protection. You can pay attention to this helmet, if you drive slowly and accurately confident in their experience on the road.
  • modular or flip-up-in the closed position looks like an integral, but by pressing the button on the chin, you can raise up the chin part. Can be used on motorcycles of any class when riding in the city. Because of the additional mechanism can be slightly heavier than the integral.
  • dual-sport helmet with visor and visor is used on motorcycles class tourist Enduro or motard. Designed for driving on asphalt with a short-lived exit on rough terrain.
  • motocross-for motocross motorcycles, off-road and driving on the tracks. Is used only with mask. In the city it can be used on the motard, but due to the design of the visor can create wind resistance at a speed of over 80 km/h and this helmet will be noisy for the city because the front part is open.
Do I need an additional dark or color visor to my helmet?

With a dark or color visor, the helmet's appearance changes dramatically. An additional visor is the best thing you can do after buying a new helmet. Color and dark visors are designed for daytime use, but motorists with experience use them at night if the roads are lit. We recommend you to look at a selection of photos from our instagram with helmets, which have visors.

In order to find out what kind of visor is suitable for your helmet, find the same helmet on the website and in the block "recommended products" will be a list of visors. If you have any questions, just give us a call.

Good visibility in the tinted visor?

Visors come in a variety of blackout:

  • yellow-these visors do not obscure, but on the contrary make objects more contrast and brighter, it's a pleasure to go at dusk or at night in them, you can see better than in transparent!
  • light tinted or mirrored with a color shade - this is the best option, the degree of darkening they are the same. Most motorists at night on a lighted road in them comfortable. In a light tinted and mirrored face is not visible.
  • dark tinting – the darkest blackout

The manufacturer recommends dark visors for daytime use only.

All about visors. Educational program for experienced and beginners

Strength

All visors are made of durable polycarbonate, the outer side is scratch resistant. The visor does not crack or split when hit by stones from the road.

Tint

On dark visors tinting is performed by adding tinted pigment to the plastic. Mirror visors have sputtering, creating the effect of a mirror, on top it is protected from scratches. On extent blackout tinted and mirror roughly same assessment (exception – the most the dark tinting dark smoke). A common misconception of beginners is that of the transparent visor can make the dark with a tinted film or paint from balonchika. In this way you will spoil the transparent visor and the result will not please you.

Cannot be polished

We must understand that the visor on any helmet-consumable. Over time, he sandblasted from the dust from the road, there are small scratches. Usually the visor is enough for 1-2 seasons depending on the frequency of use and compliance with the rules for its cleaning.

Basic rules for washing the visor

On the inner side of the visor is anti-fogging coating, the inner side is more prone to scratches than the outer, so you need to strictly follow a few rules:

  • Do not RUB ANYTHING on the inside of the visor . It does so with a microfiber cloth and liquid for washing of glasses is also impossible.
  • To wash the inside, it is recommended to lather the hand and lightly hold the visor. Wash off the soap remnants with a stream of warm water.
  • Do not wipe after washing, must dry itself.

 

Why you should not buy the cheapest helmet?
Do not buy a helmet just to have it. In the cheapest price segment, for example around 5-7 thousand RUB often come across some non-certified helmets. Do not be guided by the rule "I do not drive fast, I do not need a very protected helmet." Not fast it's still 60-90 km / h and this is enough to the cheapest helmet has not fulfilled its protective functions. Through couple of months or on the next season you would still think about buying let not the most costly, but quality slam, and prices in this segment will begin from 10-15 tys br Buy the right-with first times, this would protect You and Your might from re-unnecessary spending.
What is pinlock?
Pinlock is a transparent insert in the visor. Being installed on the inside of the visor, it eliminates the problem of fogging by 100%
Matte or glossy helmet?
The glossy surface is easier to clean, and the color pattern looks brighter. On a matte surface, the colors look muted, they are chosen by those who do not want bright colors. The matte helmet is tactile and looks unusual. For the undecided, there is good news, ask us and we will recommend helmets that are glossy and matte at the same time.
Motorcycle jackets
Can I ride a turtle in the city or wear a regular jacket over the protection (turtle)?

Wearing a civilian motorcycle jacket over a turtle is wrong and here's why:

  • quite uncomfortable to remove/put on "turtle" every time
  • the majority of the "turtle" dedicated to the city and is poorly protected from abrasion, thin grid on which are mounted all of the protective parts will break in the first place and the skin do not protect, motorcycle jackets keep much more long-lasting friction
  • in the so-called "turtles" protective elements are made of plastic, plastic is much worse absorbs shock force in contrast to the material D3O, which is used in all motorcycle jackets Icon
  • "turtle" is used mainly when driving off-road, for the city it is better to use a motorcycle jacket
How good is the protection in a motorcycle jacket?
For the most part, all motorcycle jackets presented in our catalog have certified protection D3O Level 1 back, elbows and shoulders. Optionally, the level of protection can be increased to D3O Level 2 by purchasing additional kit.
Than motokura different from the usual?
  • the outer cut is made of friction-resistant material
  • equipped with removable shoulder, elbow and back protection
  • motorcycle jacket has special ventilation channels
  • it has special elements that do not restrict movement and eliminate excessive tension when landing with outstretched arms

... and many other nuances, which are considered in the question"how to choose a motorcycle jacket."

How to choose a motorcycle jacket?

We will list the basic functionality of motorcycle jackets, and you decide what is important to you and pay attention to it when buying or ask a question to the consultant during the fitting.

So, pay attention to:

  • a complete set of protection (back, elbows, shoulders) so you don't have to buy later. Not infrequently, back protection is not present in the standard configuration. Icon has a full set of protection.
  • note the presence of ventilation valves
  • there are mesh mesh jackets for very hot weather
  • leather jackets are good in cool weather because they are not blown, in the middle of summer it is better to choose a textile
  • high the gate will incidentally in temperatures below +15 degrees
  • removable insulated lining allows you to use a motorcycle jacket in cool weather
  • some models have loops on the sleeves to prevent the wind from rising and blowing into the sleeve

That concerns size, then protection elbows and shoulders must lie there where You have elbows and shoulders. With outstretched arms, the sleeves of the jacket should be bone-deep.

Why protection soft?

This material is called D3O, it is elastic, comfortably takes the shape of the body, and at the time of impact solid in 100% of cases. It all happens in an instant, can not work – it is the laws of physics and the properties of the material. These safety inserts comply with the generally accepted Level 1 safety element standard. Also in the range there is a D3O Level 2, they are 2 times thicker and a head more effective than standard tolerances.

What to choose? Leather or textiles?

Choose based on the fact that the textile jacket will be better blown, and in the skin in the peak season in the city traffic will be very hot. If finances allow, it is better to have 2 jackets: one for very hot weather, the second with a high collar and insulated lining for spring and autumn. Modern materials have approached the wear resistance to the skin, so the safety can be said that they are about the same. All Icon jackets come with full protection (back, elbows and shoulders).

Which motorcycle jacket is suitable for hot weather?
To clean, use a special type of motoconchos from the grid. They perfectly pass the maximum air and have all the necessary protection.
Motorcycle pants
How to choose the right size of pants?

The belt pick up as comfortable with the wearing of additional protection (motor shorts or hip protection).

When landing on the motorcycle end of the leg should not open leg. Motorcycle pants should be longer than civilian pants.

How best to wear knee pads? Over or under your pants?
Proper wearing knee pads is to eliminate the cranking protection around the knee, so they are better to wear under pants.
Will I be protected in regular jeans + knee pads?

Denim pants can be made of jeans with a strand of Kevlar/aramid/Cordura or panels of these tissues in areas of wear. Cut pants provides features landing on a motorcycle (ventilation, stretch inserts, length, high waist shelf, depth of pockets, the width of the pants for the use of knee pads).

Most motorcycle jeans come with protective inserts on the knees and / or hips.

Than motorini differ from civilian?

Motorini are not only protecting the knees, as it may seem at first glance. Motorcycle jeans have a set of characteristics that take into account their use on a motorcycle:

  • they are composed of Kevlar, which protects against abrasion
  • knee pads and thigh protection (optional)
  • special cut, taking into account the landing on a motorcycle with the closure of the Shin
  • some models have additional pockets with more convenient access
Motor gloves
What to choose: long or short gloves?
  • Long used primarily on the track, or with a sports jacket or metacommentary. There are also long touring textile gloves: their long sleeve protects against blowing wind and rain in the sleeve during long trips.
  • Short comfortable in the city, they are not so hot and combined with urban motorcycle jackets for every day.
Leather or textile gloves?

First, it is necessary to introduce a new material, previously unknown on the market Ax Suede Laredo-a synthetic leather (not to be confused with leatherette). The material is designed specifically to replace the skin, so it looks very difficult to distinguish from the skin, and the characteristics of abrasion it is stronger.

In General, the most important thing to know: leather gloves are less blown than textile, so in cool weather use leather, in the heat – textile.

For protective functions not to say that the textile better than leather, and Vice versa, it is necessary to look at the model, not the material. There are textile models with a greater degree of protection than leather.

What could gloves possibly have?

Touchscreen-the ability to control the touch screen in gloves.

Sliders on the palm-on sports models protect the palm when sliding in the emphasis on the hands.

Length-short comfortable in the heat and at short distances, and long protect from blowing wind and comfortable for long trips.

Fist protection:

  • soft-comfortable to operate, hands do not get tired, well felt control levers;
  • tough-mostly sports models.

Perforation - well ventilated in the heat, without perforation-may not get wet for a while in the rain.

Regardless of the endowed characteristics, all gloves have the necessary level of protection with access to public roads.
