Sizing Information
These gloves are consistent with the major American based brands we carry such as FirstGear, Tour Master, Joe Rocket, etc, so hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.
Just as an FYI, you may have previous experience with European designed brands such as Alpinestars and REV’IT! which run about one half size smaller, size-for-size, than the American brands. It is not a universally true fact, but generally holds for most styles. So if a particular size in either of those brands is roomy on you, then you may be able to go down one full size in this style.
Our Two Cents
These Icon Alcan gloves are really heavy duty! The combination of thick materials and the integrated armor make for a very substantial feeling winter glove. If you find the average insulated riding glove to be a bit weak in terms of durability and protection then you may have found your new gloves! The shell is a combination of textile, leather and molded rubber pieces which combined have an interesting look.. sort of futuristic race quality.
These gloves have D3O armor built into the knuckle area too. The D3O material is covered by a molded rubber piece so you really can’t feel it or see it, but the combination of those materials feels substantial, but flexible, and should give very good impact protection.
The gloves are insulated… I’d say medium weight insulation which should be good for most people’s cold weather days. We have a few gloves that are more thickly insulated, but not many and certainly none that are offered in such a heavy duty package.
Icon says this is an “undercuff fit”. Not sure what they mean by that… I really don’t think the gauntlet could fit under most jacket sleeves. They’ll probably work best over a sport jacket sleeve but might fit under a wide cut coat-style sleeve. The gloves have an integrated waterproof liner as well.
Overall, an impressively sturdy design for a winter glove, and for what they offer, I think the pricing is quite reasonable. :: Paul, 10-26-15
