Icon 1000 has just updated their massively popular Elsinore retro motocross boot?so we’ve taken them for a spin. Plus we review the Nexx X.Vilitur modular helmet, and a trio of handy accessory packs from Velomacchi.

Nexx X.Vilitur modular helmet A lot of my riding is short trips: heading out on the Svartpilen 701 every other day to pick up supplies or run errands. Having to take off a full-face lid gets tiresome, so I?ve been using this Nexx modular for the past couple of years.
After a good 10,000 kilometers of use, I?ve grown to appreciate this Portuguese-made helmet. The build quality is good considering the $550 MSRP, and nothing has broken.
The ?Latitude Sand? colorway of my example is understated, and the shell design is subtly aggressive without being too over the top. But if you want something more extrovert, Nexx has plenty of other options, including graphics.
The fit of the X.Vilitur is ?medium oval? and even after four hours on the bike, I?ve had no complaints. It?s not amazingly light (there?s a $650 carbon version if that matters to you) but it?s quiet when the vents are shut.
There?s also a drop-down sun visor, which is a godsend. It?s operated by a sliding mechanism on the side of the helmet, and doesn?t reduce the quality of vision from the (optically correct) main visor too much. You can upgrade to a Pinlock visor if you wish, but I?ve rarely had fogging problems.
The X.Vilitur has a wide field of vision, if a little shallow, and ventilation is...
