Icon Overpants
Hey guys! Was taking a look at the Overlord over pants from Icon and was trying to see if anyone had any experience with these. They have some good reviews on revzilla and I just planned to wear them over some jeans! Any input on these over pants or just over pants in general would be awesome thank you guys!

I have the Icon hooligans... Things flow air like crazy, an have me feeling a lot more protected than the pants, or whatever I do or don't wear under them.
Can't really speak on how they hold up in a crash; I hope to never find out |

I have them as well as their predecessors. They are just as baggy as their older line. Only thing I kind of dislike is their knee/shin padding has less coverage than their older line. Also, I would ditch their padding/guards since they will be of little benefit in a crash as they will just slide out of place. I have Icon knee/shin guards I wear under them.
I have crashed in the textiles in the older line and you better pray you're not pinned under the bike in a slide as the textile will melt pretty fast from the friction of excess weight on them.

I had a litte crash in my Icon Hooligan denims.
The breath well and the only place the jeans even began to fail are where things stabbed through. I was uninjured but it was a very slow speed crash. I unloaded 90% of my speed before I high sided. Decent pants for a decent buck. Not track quality but far better than typical clothes

I was thinking of getting those for myself too. Glad you made this thread, now I can just sit back and be lazy about it. xD

It's great added protection and remember they are over pants and not meant to be used by itself. They do the job they're designed for but they do run slightly long so you may be stepping on them. I'm 5'11 and wear size 32. It clears the ground slightly with my boots.

Had the Overlord overpants, traded them in for the Brawson overpants by ICON.
The overlord where bigger sized in waist and super long (as if they expect everyone to mend it up to proper length). The Brawson fit true to size, and are the exact same size I had the overlords in, yet they fit perfect! Pant leg length is about perfect, if not favoring on the side of long. Overlords had more style to them and better color options, but I wanted function over looks. If getting the overlord try 1 size smaller than you think you need, and I'd suggest to use RevZilla for the option of free exchange and no 're-stock fee'. |

I just ordered a pair of these yesterday, hoping to have them by the end of the week. I'll report back. Planning on wearing them over jeans and my work pants (dress slacks).

So I just got these today, haven't worn them on the bike yet.
They feel well made, and like everyone else said they look kind of baggy and seem long. Not a problem with boots on. The knee protector can be adjusted by slipping it into one of three slots inside. I've never had MC pants before, where are the knee protectors supposed to sit? With them at the highest possible when I am standing they are right below my knees. When sitting they cover my knees. If I drop to my knees on the floor they cover them perfectly. Is that how they're supposed to fit? I guess the important thing is if they cover my knees in a spill? It's just a bit odd to me that they don't cover my knees when I'm standing.

I wore them on my ride to work this morning. The knee pads are in the right position when I'm on the bike. They were comfortable, and I wasn't hot at all wearing them over dress slacks on an 80 degree morning.
