con is a company that makes no compromises when it comes to the integrity of their product line. Without apologies, Icon proudly states, “From the street, for the street,” as their mantra for everything they produce for the motorcycle industry. Just one line of gear that Icon makes for the street rider is the ARC line. ARC Jackets, ARC Gloves and ARC Pants make the statement, “I’m here to ride. Keep up or stay out of my way. Your choice.”
     The ARC Performance Series Jacket embodies a brutal evolution of form and function. Starting with an aggressively cut riding exterior, the ARC Jacket has been “hot-rodded” using specific materials in exact areas for the greatest benefit. Abrasion resistant leather is used in high-impact areas. Gathered expansion panels are built into the ballistic nylon core, promoting unrestrained movement. The hostile nature of the ARC jacket is echoed through its tactical thermal plastic rubber implants. Use ARC as your riding exterior and you will feel its unkind intent. No apologies. Available in five bold be-seen colors: Red, Yellow, White, Blue, and Green, with a suggested retail price of $295.
     Designed to be functional and versatile, the ARC Pant can be worn as an over-pant or worn alone. It’s fully loaded with adjustable and removable CE-approved knee armor, as well as reinforced Aramid and cordura panels. The chassis material is durable nylon and built on Icon’s Loose Fit pattern and strategically placed stretch panels give you plenty of room to comfortably layer up underneath. Like the ARC Jacket, the colors reflect a no apologies attitude in Black, Red, White, or Blue. Suggested retail is $105.
     To complete the ARC line add ARC Gloves, an ideal lightweight street-performance riding glove. The foundation begins with a goatskin chassis, which offers the ideal blend of abrasion resistance and dexterity. Gel pads have been inserted into the palm to increase comfort and to decrease white-knuckle tingles. The padded knuckle panel expands, allowing for an unhindered grip. The ARC Glove comes in four colors–Black, White, Blue, or Red, with a suggested retail of $70.
You know the drill, your Parts Unlimited rep can get you completely set-up with the Icon ARC line as well as the rest of the great line of products from Icon. You’ve got a lot of street-wise customers, all they need is to see the Icon logo and they’ll make the buy. Icon, “From the street, for the street.”
