PORTLAND, Ore. – No matter how perfect the conditions or talented the rider, the unfortunate reality is that if you ride, a crash is inevitable. So why not be outfitted with the most comprehensive protective apparel available from Icon Motosports?

With the all-new Field Armor Stryker Series, riders will enjoy uncompromised protection while maintaining that unique style Icon enthusiasts have loyally embraced. This Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is CE certified and meets European motorcycle safety standards against specified impact protection. While no PPE, no matter how extensive, can offer full protection against injury, the Field Armor Stryker PPE can help sway the outcome in your favor.

Improving upon the original, top-selling Field Armor Vest comes the Field Armor Stryker Vest. Outfitted with d3o® intelligent foam and full CE approval, the Field Armor Stryker Vest back armor is designed to take hits you hope will never come. The low profile design can be comfortably worn under a jacket or hoody and gives riders the confidence of knowing Icon has their back.

But the protection isn’t limited to just the guys, the Field Armor Stryker Vest is also available for women. The women’s vest features all of the same construction and CE certification standards as the men’s version but has been retailored for a woman’s fit. The back armor plate has been made slightly shorter by changing to a five or six plate arrangement. Additionally, the midriff and Velcro adjustment straps have been rescaled for a proper fit. All of this customization was done to ensure maximum comfort without comprising the high level of protection found in the Stryker Series.

Of course the knee armor also features the same d3o® intelligent foam and full CE approval found in the complete Stryker Series PPE.
