Motorcyclist clothing is often associated with a relatively heavy aesthetic that is focused mostly on protection versus style, so the ICON Upstate Riding Shirt has been created to help strike a more fashionable balance. The shirt features a rugged design that looks quite casual and fitted upon first glance, but will reveal impressive protection for riders. This is thanks to a lightweight mesh that will offer impressive abrasion resistance without providing too much insulation that would otherwise overheat the wearer.
The ICON Upstate Riding Shirt is rounded out with a full range of removable D3O impact protectors on the back, elbows and shoulders which will help to further enhance the safety profile of the garment for riders to appreciate.
