Went on a long 2150 mile tour. In SD on day 1 I realized that I needed warmer gear. I was rocking a teeshirt and a scout air. Motorsports store near my campground in Sioux Falls had some stuff on discount. Picked up the icon 1000 basehawk and alliance dark full face for 400 usd. Hated to spend the money, but love the chill look on my Indian scout. My first full face, I really appreciated the additional thermal and face protection on the interstate. Something big got kicked up from a semi and rang my ears when it struck the helmet. The rain slid right off. With no windshield on my bike, it was great. I picked the gear without knowing about it and based my choice based off of watching for the things you look for. Also wore some Klim outriders but lost the pads when I washed it in a hotel. I still used the scout air playing around local areas after setting camp or checking in- like the black hills deadwood and Estes park, but loved having both options.

I love my Basehawk. I've been down with it at highway speed and survived with just a bruised elbow and a tiny scuff on my wrist. I can confirm the ballistic nylon actually holds up pretty well in a slide. Also pretty sure the D3O saved my elbow from some serious damage, still couldn't move my arm for a week, but expect it would have been way worse without it. Still wear it with pride despite a bit of scuffing on the leather and nylon :D Awesome review Ryan, top notch production as always.

My dxr legend full leather jacket has all the CE plates you could wish for. And a thermal liner, I ordered it from Germany and it cost me £120, which is less than $200 I've slid it down the road at 80 mph when knocked off my bike in dry conditions and it's barely got a scratch on it, incredible jacket, highly recommended over all of these for a cruiser look

Pretty sad that the river road Laughlin jacket is discontinued. I really liked the versatility, functionality, and style of it very much. Is there another jacket that you can compare to that is still available? Thanks. Also a big fan. You have amazing editing and splicing skills as well as you explain things very effectively. Keep doing what you are doing, I appreciate all you do and make

Yeah it's a bummer - the Laughlin was the best jacket River Road made, in my opinion. The closest thing I've come across is the Black Brand Street Team (www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/black-brand-street-team-jacket.html). Similar in every way, except it has a windproof liner instead of the Laughlin's quilted one. I like the Joe Rocket Iron Age too (www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/joe-rocket-iron-age-jacket.html), although the style is a lot more motorcycle-ish. Glad you enjoyed the videos!

Can I suggest you take a look at the "AGV sport element vintage leather jacket?" It looks 10x better than the river road, is disressed better and comes fully loaded for armour. I put in D30 armour and it makes the jacket amazing. I can also attest to it's quality, I was rear-ended, jacket held up perfectly. It has a great sport look, but easily works for cruiser fans. Tbh, I've had a look at most of the jackets you reviewed and the AGV wins in style, features and quality.

FortNine Those are the sort I'm talking about. But, the Bobsters had a few reviews that have put me off buying them just now. I'm not sure if they're the same model as the ones you're covering, but some of them had issue with the photocromatic element months down the line. Which shouldn't be the case, the price they're charging should cover decent quality for that, even the full visors are only $150 and that's got to require enough film for at least a half dozen sunglasses.

Ryan!! How is the vents on the icon 1000? I would like a jacket that is using D03 armor but also giving me safety. Sadly the river road laughlin is discontinued. I also liked another icon jacket you reviewed in the best jackets under 200 i think. It was blacked out and had no pockets at all outside the jacket. Which do you think is the better of the lot?
@FortNine8 жыл бұрын
Hey! The Icon 1000 Basehawk is the best of the lot, but it's *not* ventilated that well. No exhaust vent on the back, so it gets stuffy. Not unbearably so, and I have used that jacket in 30C days, but there are cooler options. The Laughlin has a doppelganger you can buy: Black Brand's Street Team (fortnine.ca/en/black-brand-street-team-jacket). Also a very good jacket. Not sure which other Icon you're thinking of. The Overlord has no pockets on the outside, and does come in a blackout colourway. It's also the most ventilated of the three and a really good deal for a D3O jacket. But more of a sport cut. Hope that helps! ~RyanF9
