Icon Hooligan 2 Mesh Overpant Review

The Icon Hooligan 2 Mesh Jacket is one of the best selling jackets at RevZilla. It's light, breathes a ton of air, and is very well-priced. The Hooligan 2 Jacket has been such a great success that ICON has decided to complete the outfit with the ICON Hooligan 2 Mesh Overpants. These pants are for the everyday rider that is planning to ride through some serious summer heat. The pants are designed to do everything the jacket does which is provide a good about of ventilation, protection, and not cost an arm and a leg.

One of the biggest benefits of the Hooligan 2 Overpants is the enormous amount of ventilation that they offer. This is thanks to ICON's fighter mesh nylon material which is used in the majority of the pants' construction. This material is designed to have a very high amount of air flow while also being abrasion resistant. This Fighter Mesh is the same material seen in the Hooligan 2 mesh jacket. The stretch panels in the Hooligan 2 overpants also offer some additional ventilation.

These pants incorporate many other feature seen in ICON's pant lineup. These include a set of waist straps to help cinch the pants to your specific fit. The knees have Icon's proprietary CE certified Field Armor protectors to give impact protection in the knees in the event of a fall and slide. Stretch panels are built into the knees and lower back. These stretch panels keep the pants from binding or pulling in different areas when on the bike, allowing maximum ergonomics and mobility. The bottom cuff of the pants have an 8 inch zipper to make getting in and out of the pants possible without having to take on and off your boots. Zippered side pockets simply make sure you don't lose your cell phone or wallet while ripping down the interstate.

For 115 bucks, you're getting a solid overpant that has everything a rider would need and nothing over the top from a technicality standpoint. Two color schemes to choose from and they are a classic Icon stealth black and a white-black color scheme. Sizing goes from a very small 28 to a much larger 44. The fit of these pants is very generous (Icon's loose overpant fit pattern) to accommodate a pair of jeans easily.

Icon Overlord Textile Overpant Review

In the street motorcycle scene it's way too common to see a rider with an Icon helmet, an aggressive sport textile jacket from Icon, some short cuff gloves, a pair of Sidi boots, and some Levi jeans. Icon wants to tackle this problem and give their riders an even higher degree of protection. Enter the Icon Overlord Textile Overpants, the newest overpant in Icon's line-up. Whats the great thing about the new Icon Overlord Textile Overpant? The 115 dollar price tag.


Check out our Icon Overlord Textile Overpant review:

The Icon Overlord pants are great pants for the rider that wants a simple yet versatile overpant in their gear closet. The entire pant is constructed of a durable nylon fabric that won't rip apart as soon as you hit the asphalt like your favorite pair of jeans. The knees and hips both have CE rated armor which is removable in case you wanted to upgrade the padding. These pant are cut and built exactly like the Icon Hooligan 2 overpant but the Hooligan 2s are made of a more breathable fighter mesh material to flow more air. This means you're looking at a 3 season pant to stretch from Spring through Fall. There's no thermal liner and very little ventilation so January will be pretty cold for riding with the Overlords and July may be a little toasty.

There are stretch panels in the knees and the yoke of the pants to improve motion, mobility and overall comfort. A ratchet-style strap on the front and Velcro straps on the waist customizes the fit of the pants, giving a snug fit and preventing them from sagging. At the bottom of the pants there's a snap and a 6 inch zipper to make it easier to get in and out of the pants. Sizing is generous to accommodate any type of pants underneath and long enough so they won't get pulled up when sitting on the bike. 

All and all you're getting a solid pair of overpants for 115. They are available in three sizes from a very small 28 to a

more robust 44. Icon offers these in a stealthy black, a white, and a slate color scheme.
