Saw the jacket at Revzilla, but eventually went to a local store to check proper fit. The jacket was surprising small fitting, but this may be due to me being a new rider and not really liking the "snug fit". Out of curiosity I asked the local shop how much the jacket was. He quoted me a "for you" price of roughly $40 MORE than Revzilla was offering it for.

I cannot speak enough on how great this site is. Ive never cared enough to leave feedback for stores, but the service here is truly exceptional. I hate to compare them to Tirerack, but there is so much crucial usable information on this site for the products. That I think even if the price was slightly more than a local shop I would still buy it from Revzilla.

Sincerely,
Will

I'm 5'8 150lbs and went with a small in black. This jacket couldn't fit any better. I've worn it in 90degree weather and as cold as 28degree with the liner in. Granted my commute was short in frigid weather, but the jacket still did it's job.
Great stylish piece from Icon that extends a multitude of temperatures.

I Love this jacket, the quality of this jacket is superb. Keep in mind that the sizing is on the relax fit. So if you are in between sizes I would go one size down. I got the red color and it's really nice, I will buy another one in black.

As always Revzilla gives me Great Service!!!! Thank You!

Great jacket for summer since it flows air extremely well without the liner. With the liner, this jacket is warm. Only addition I would like to see is some type of collar.

First of all, I found this in Revzilla's winter gear guide. If you live anywhere where winter gets below 'cool' then THIS IS NOT A WINTER JACKET! It has alot of mesh and ventilation with only a thin thermal liner to back it up in cooler weather. Without a neck sock, air just gets down the collar and goes everywhere.

Apart from that, the fit is good, it is of very solid construction, the armour is placed well and it has great styling for a relativley plain jacket.

Another solid ICON product.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought the white jacket and looks and feels great. People always want to try on the jacket and they get surprised how great it feels on them. I just feel very protected when wearing it because I can feel the pads on all the vital areas. When riding at night, the jacket keeps you warm, especially your back. And when it gets hot out, especially here in California, i take off the removable liner inside and feel the breeze through the vent holes. I am 5'6" 185 pounds with a husky build. Got the medium size and fits perfectly.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Answer:

Mate I would ring them or send a direct email for something that specific. I own one of these (the contra) and I can tell you it will NOT last you down to 30F. Wind gets into that thing everywhere and the liner isn't that thick at all. It's in their winter guide but not for a real winter haha.

I'll be using this jacket for commuting if I buy it. I'm interested in the white because it is more visible, but I am worried about how it will show grime and dirt. Are you able to wash the outer shell?

Answer:

Yeah mate, I have this jacket and its basically hand wash cold, after removing the armour and liner etc. I cant say if it will stain but I don't imagine textile or mesh will stain too badly. I have one of their mesh jackets in white and It hasn't given me any issues.

Answer:

If you remove the armor from the jacket you can machine was the outer shell on a cold water setting and let it hang dry. I would recommend an extra rinse cycle since the fabric is very dense and soap residue often needs an extra cycle before it releases.

Answer:

i have the white (last year's model), it is very dirty after about 4000 miles. the collar is definitely the dirtiest. and it can be washed (all the armor comes out). as you might expect, that road grime is basically embedded into the jacket by now... pretty hard to get it really clean. all that said, i'm looking at getting the latest version of it, and white is drawing me in again. :)

Answer:

My chest is a 39 and, I ordered an XL. The XL was still really tight in the chest and shoulders. I like my riding gear tight and, I was pleased with the fit once I broke in the jacket. I would go with an XL.

Answer:

Always measure for the chest. The sleeves may be a little long on you but at least the jacket will fit.

Answer:

The sleeves run a bit long, but not quite that much, so I think getting a size LG would split the difference without being to large for you.

I like the Icon jacket, but I'm concerned about the material it's made of. All the specifications say, is "durable nylon" on the shell. Many jackets will say something like "600 denier" , or even "Cordura"....to show that the material is resistant to abrasion....."durable nylon" doesn't tell me much, and I wonder if it is going to melt if I end up sliding on the pavement.

Not being critical....but want to know what I'm buying.

Thanks.

Answer:

I own the contra and it is heavier than any textile jacket I have seen around the shoulders and elbows. Stitched together quite well too. Go to the Ride Icon website and read some of the survivor stories, there's some pretty big slides in there with not a lot to show on the jackets.

Mind you, by getting textile you are sacrificing something (usually) rather than choosing leather. But I trust this jacket to hold up for sure.

Answer:

I own the contra jacket and it seems very tough and the impact areas are reenforced well. Personally I dont second guess it.

Also, try going to www.rideicon.com and having a look at the crash stories in the "Limiter" and the "Survivors" section under the culture heading. Plenty of stories about their gear holding up like a trooper in big slides. Certainly made me trust them.
