Nice.

I've crash tested Icon gear and they have my personal  :thumb:

I can't say i care too much for most of their jackets looks wise (I got mine on sale LOL) but protection wise they are awesome.

I'm hoping I'll never have to find out...  But, that's part of why I got a leather...  I only have a textile right now...   :dunno_white:

I'm also hoping it won't be quite as susceptible to HOT and COLD as mine is...  I know leather isn't all that cool, but neither is my BLACK textile jacket. :cookoo:

Yeah...  They have the retro ones and the neo ones...  The different colors are different designs...

Check it:  Retro:  http://www.newenough.com/icon_retro_daytona_jacket_page.htm

Neo: http://www.newenough.com/icon_daytona_jacket_page.htm

You can get more pics on Icon's site (http://www.rideicon.com/), but it's slow to load...

And...  You can get about $100-$150 less than retail from sandhills_powersports (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=sandhills_powersports) on ebay...  I got my wife's jacket from them...  They're pretty cool.  (Look for a "Best Offer" auction).

I got it for $315 shipped...  Which is more than I wanted to spend...  But, I can't be too upset, since the damn thing usually costs $450. :o

damn $450 but if it will save your life its well worth it
Title: Re: I bought a new moto jacket
Post by: RVertigo on July 25, 2006, 01:08:41 PM
I wouldn't have ordered it at $450.  :o  My limit was $300 and I'm already over...   :oops:

CirclesCenter says they crash well...  CE armor...  1.1-1.2mm leather...

I'd say about 5x as protective as my current jacket...  It has a Denier of 400 or something... :icon_confused:  But, it's waterproof.  :thumb:

Totally...  The guy REALLY has to move it...  He dropped the price from $2500 to $1200.   :o

I've been trying to figure out where-the-hell I could keep it...   :icon_confused:
