how are your riding boots made? w/ a high heel or low? whats it easier for women to walk in sandals or high heels, now add in an emergancy stop and having to plant your foot, and those boots are disaster waiting to happen. i'm of the better safe then sorry addage.
dunno who makes BMW gear/armor, my guess it's BMW. it does meet CE standards, does ICON ( i don't know.)
your skin your $, i'm not lookin to cheap out my gear. but thats me.
no made in china tag that i can find, no "made in" anywhere at a quick glance.

Hahaha well, I posted the boots as a joke at first (not this again!) but came to Icon's defense when all of their gear was termed as junk! There is no way that BMW has a motorcycle gear factory bro, anymore than they make their own hats, headlights, tires, brakes, etc.
I'm on hold with BMW (1 800 831 1117) right now, apparently they don't know where it's made either!
Oh I just got an answer. They do outsource to "several" different countries and companies.
BTW I think even you have to agree it's unfair of you to judge Icon when you yourself admits to knowing basically nothing about their products.
