Icon 1000
One thousand. According to Icon it's the "empirical number that forms the boundary
between boy and man. The displacement threshold between novice and expert." While
we may not exactly know what the heck that means, we can certainly appreciate the
motorcycle gear line that Icon has paired with it. Made with the best of what Icon has to
offer, the new Icon One Thousand line is some of the best new gear we've seen in what
feels like ages. Inspired by the post apocalyptic feel of the Mad Max movies and the style
of survival bikes,
Icon's new line is sexy without losing protection and without heavy logos.
The whole line isn't available until April, but we've got all the deets on what you can expect. If you like
what you see, feel free to visit the product pages (Icon 1000) and punch in your email adress so that we can give you
a heads up the second it's all available to purchase.
The Icon 1000 Chapter Jacket
is one like no other. Perfect for everyday wear, this sleek
and sexy piece is made of the best of the best Brazilian cowhide and finished in two
beautiful ways. To get the natural look of the Cutter Brown Chapter Jacket, Icon made it
with an aniline-dyed natural grain treated with a hand-applied waxed leather finish. The
Interceptor Grey and Pursuit Black Chapter Jackets, on the other hand, are made of drum-
dyed antiqueleather with a refined matte finish. Not only does it look damn good, these
jackets will give you the protection that a real rider would need. All three jackets are fully
equipped with D30 armor in the shoulder, elbow and back so you're ready for anything.
Plus with custom produced YKK zippers that are perfectly oversized, you won't waste
any time fumbling to zip up of worrying about whether you'll come unzipped at an
inopportune time (like when fighting zombies). The removable quilted-satin vest liner is
perfect for those particularly harsh nights without adding any extra bulk that could weigh
you down. No matter whether you rock the Pursuit Black, Cutter Brown or Interceptor
Grey, the Icon 1000 Chapter Jacket is perfect for the ride, so much so that you probably
won't even take it off when you've arrived at your destination. Get a notification when it becomes

Of course, Icon 1000 didn't leave out the ladies. In fact, their Icon 1000 Federal
Women's Jacket is one of the sexiest and well made lady's riding jackets that we've
possibly ever laid our eyes on. Hand cut from that same Brazilian cowhide, the Federal
Jacket comes in a Harmonic Red that has been aniline-dyed natural grain that is treated
with a hand-applied wax leather finish as well as a Pursuit Black that is drum-dyed
antique leather finish with a refined matte finish. And since we'll take either color, we're
glad to know that they don't skimp on protecting the ladies as both jackets are fully set up
with that bone-saving D30 armor in the shoulders, elbows and back. Plus both of the Icon
1000 Federal jackets come with the oversized YKK zippers for easy on and off, if you
know what we mean, but will remain secure while riding. These jackets are also equip
with a removable vest liner to keep the lady's core warm without bunching up around her
goods. Even if we didn't ride motorcycles, we'd want one of each color to sport around
town. This jacket is every father's nightmare.
Whether you like it or not, the
Icon 1000 Shorty Jacket is one of the most unique pieces
of gear to hit the market. The love child of your favorite jacket and your favorite vest, the
Shorty Jacket has an attitude all of its own. Made of top-grain drum-dyed Brazilian
leather, the fit of this jacket is strategic to give a rider the most freedom while still being
equip with a D30 Viper CE certified back armor. No matter what kind grips your
reaching for, this jacket features strategically placed stretch panels to keep you moving
like you're wearing nothing at all. And since it doesn't need a label to get it noticed, the
Icon 1000 Shorty Jacket comes in two styles, branded and unbranded. Sign up to get an email when it's

The Icon 1000 Rimfire Glove
is the glove that you've been waiting for your entire life.
Old school laced with all the technology you would never leave home without, the
Rimfire is constructed of French cowhide in a Gunn cut pattern that breathes of the
classics. These gloves feature pre-tensioned elastic that help reduce bunching while
you're twisting hard on the throttle. But you can leave the brass knuckles at home as
these are fully equipped with Icon D30 knuckle armor and, our favorite feature, a whole
slew of metal palm rivets that would not only make slapping manly but also up the
abrasion resistance by plenty. The Icon 1000 Rimfire Glove is the perfect gentleman's
riding glove. Get the notification that they're available:

Haven't gotten enough of the Icon 1000 style? Somehow Icon knew you'd want more of
the end of the world styling and they threw down to put together three of the most drool-
worthy survival bikes. The Magnificent Bastard, a 1986 Honda VF100R, The Operator, a
1999 Ducati 900SS, and The Roach, a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster all reek of futistic
doomsday theatrics.
The Magnificent Bastard can only be described as big-boned, perfection for the end of
days and fitted with a knobbed mixture of Conti and Bridgestone tires to get through the
decaying roads as time passes. Built from a 1986, this motorcycle is a tank meant to stand
the test of time. But in an age where police forces will surely have disappeared along
with the governments ability to enforce taxes, the Magnificent Bastard embodies an air of
police bike all the way down to its public channel radio to search out those calling in
need.
A stripped down 1999 Ducati SS900, The Operator (Redux) makes the apocolyps look
flat out sexy. Beat up by its many encounters with the harsh reality of the end op the
world, its ammo can saddle bags and geometric loving face can handle anything. Ride
that puppy anywhere while sporting the Icon 1000 line and you'll be voted governor of
the survival camp in no time.
The Roach, on the other hand, isn't looking to make friends. The once pretty, now savage
street king has taken to the dirt on its Maxxis DTR1s and will be taking no prisoners. It's
a loner that can handle its own with its oversized forged pistons, clearances cases, back-
cut tranny and front mounted wench. Never before has the world seen a Harley-Davidson
sportster so ready to take on the end of the world, all while donning the Icon One
Thousand name.
