The Icon Mil Spec Field Armor Vests meets military PPE regulations for motorcyclists serving in the armed forces.
Visibility and safety are paramount to any motorcycle rider. When Icon released its Field Armor Vest, it set a new standard for street protection with an urban style. Now Icon has turned its attention to meeting the needs of military motorcycle regulations for the men and women who protect our freedom and liberties with the
Icon Mil Spec Field Armor Vest.
Military rules and regulations stipulate that soldiers must don appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE) when tooling around on two-wheels. First and foremost, the PPE must be worn on the upper body where it is most visible. And secondly, it is brightly-colored for day-use and reflective at night. With a single vest, Icon has wrapped up those two very crucial rules and added armor for safety, truly a win-win situation.
The underlying part of the vest is constructed of a breathable nylon mesh for increased airflow and a lighter overall feel. Fastened to the mesh are synthetic fluorescent-yellow leather overlays with reflective panels that increase visibility both day and night.
But this isn’t the same reflective vest you see on road-construction crews. Icon has added loads of protection all packed into a low-profile design. Abrasion resistant slider panels, reinforced rubber chest armor, and impact

dispersing molded foam are attached to the mesh chassis. On the sides of the torso, elastic adjustment straps help keep the armor where it’s needed.
Taking it one step further, Icon also included impact absorbing plastic over the oh so important spine area. The plastic is articulated for additional movement and comfort, meaning it bends and moves like your spine.
Riding is a form of freedom that all motorcyclists enjoy, but protection is essential. Our men and women of the military don’t enter a battle without proper equipment, so why should riding a motorcycle be any different. With the Icon Mil Spec Field Armor Vest, it’s possible to fulfill regulations and still look urbane.
