Pros: Thick leather. Canvas like material on the sides and inner elbows keeps cool even in the florida sun. Awesome manufacturer tags. removable inside liner kept me warm when it was about 40 degrees at night. Thick foam pads on shoulders and elbows and a convenient pocket for a back protector(not included).

Cons: For the price it should include a back protector. I ordered a Teknic Knox TP2 CE back protector and it fits perfect in the pocket.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: I am pretty much a medium guy. 5'9" 180lbs muscular build and this jacket fits like a glove.

Pros: Thick leather, good venting with the liner out and good insulation with the liner in. Looks great.

Cons: No back protector. That is my one and only gripe with this jacket. If Icon wants to make a truly great jacket, they will include back armor.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: If you have a large frame and lots of dense muscle packed onto that frame, this jacket will be tight in the shoulders and just a little loose in the waist. I am 6'4" tall, 32" from shoulder blade to shoulder blade and 240 pounds, so I realize that this review isn't meant for everyone. If you are large like me, then you'll know how hard getting gear that fits is.

Comments: Without the liner comfort is good until the temperature gets above 80. With the liner you are in the green when the ambient temperature is above 45. Liner becomes necessary at about 65 degrees.

Pros: Looks very cool and fits great. Sits very happily between my winter gear and summer mesh

Cons: None so far - neck fit is different but once used to it is fine

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Originally ordeered a large as every other jacket i wear is large - was too big and now have a medium that fits great. Sizing really is true to size so I take a 40 jacket and usually means large, the Icon size of 38-40 for medium is exactly that, up to 40.

Comments: The return process with kneedraggers to exchange the large for medium was so easy and quick - many thanks
