The new jacket features refined improvements such as zippered intake and exhaust vents, full length side expansion vents, and wicked new graphics. Everything you've come to expect from Icon. Industry leading products from the industry leader.
- Durable 1.2mm to 1.4mm leather chassis
- Exclusive Icon straight cut body for relaxed fit

Pros: Very thick, yet very soft and pliable leather throughout. The shoulder and elbow armor is a good bit harder and thicker than my other jackets. Great cooling and warmth... I've been in 15 degree weather with the liner in and nearly broke a sweat (although the rest of my body was frozen). Overall design makes it comfortable to wear on and off the bike, unlike some sport jackets.
Cons: As someone else noted, the wrist openings are a bit larger than other sport jackets, making it very hard to put gauntlet gloves on, and impossible with the liner in, so you'll have to tuck them inside, which isn't that bad, just awkward at first. If you were short gloves, this isn't a con at all since it allows more free movement of your wrists. I question the protective ability of the foam back pad... it is very thin in comparison to other jackets I have (not sure why they didn't use the same stuff from the shoulders and elbows).
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Comments: Best jacket I've ever used. I've had the (mis)opportunity of testing the armor and abrasion resistance of the jacket in a 40mph lowside leaning through a corner... didn't see a patch of gravel/sand... (Read the rest of this review)
