I just received a pair of Icon Brawnson Overpants, purchased from Motorcyclegear.com, for $95.00. I had been looking for something to slip on over my work jeans for riding to work in cold weather, (under 42 degrees) and be easy off upon arrival. I used to wear a one piece cold weather riding suit in my younger days, but I wanted something I could wear to work, and have the option of wearing just my riding coat/jeans to ride home in warmer temperature.
I would like to report, that although I haven't worn them yet, I am very impressed with the pants, just looking them over and trying on over jeans.
They fit just great, ordering the same size as the regular jeans you normally wear as recommended. They have a black "jeans" type styling, with belt loops and zippers on each leg, a mesh lining, and knee pads with 3 height/fit adjustable slots for the kneepads.
The pants do run a bit long, but that will probably be appreciated when sitting on the bike, although a person might want to pull some extra up above the knees , when seated, to keep from having the extra material cause problems catching on the footpegs.
The pants have regular jean type pockets, plus large zippered thigh pockets, which I believe could be unzipped for air flow if wanted, throught mesh liner.
They look to be a high quality made garment, with nice quality zippers.
The price was the first selling point for me, but I don't see how any of the higher priced overpants I had looked at could be worth the extra money.
Although, as some of you know, for me to pay full price for anything, hurt deeply, but Ebay just didn't have what I needed at a bargain price for once.
I believe this model of overpant is a new product for Icon.
