Ixon Arma Noir

Ixon Arma Noir is motorcycle gear for riders who want a black, road-oriented piece of kit rather than casual outerwear. By our assessment, it should appeal most to people who care about the mix of protection, abrasion-resistant construction, and riding posture that proper moto clothing is meant to deliver. The trade-off is the usual one for this category: protection, fit, and ventilation have to be balanced, so it will never feel as free or as simple as an ordinary jacket. In practice, gear like this lives with zips, armor pockets, and a more deliberate fit that makes sense on the bike and less sense off it. Compared with fashion-first riding clothes, Arma Noir belongs to the practical side of the shelf. The limit is that it only really earns its place when someone actually rides, because that is where the shape and protection matter.
