Ive got the Icon Daytona Retro in black...sweeet jacket and wears really well. Even with the liner in i managed to stay toasty warm in 40 degrees weather.I recommend to anyone looking for nice warm toasty gloves...the Alpine Drystars...gauntlet type glove that wears well with the zipper/snap cuff of this jacket as well.

I know u see the 480 price tag but use the bill me later program it works really well get the jacket...90 days same as cash no interest to pay off i use it all the time but dont let cost steer your decision.

The Retro is a great fit right out the box and im sure anyone else who has one hear will agree...its a top pick...in my book....

Anyone know about the Honda Factory Racing Replica Jacket? it looks really nice, but what as far as saftey wise?
also ive heard good things about the Teknic Violator jacket, its triple stitched in high impact areas, perforatted for hot days and comes witha water-proof fleece liner for cold days. it tends to ride up in the back a little bit tho.

I had a leather olympic jacket and it was a nice jacket, saved me when i went down, i didnt feel a thing i mean i could tell i was sliding along the pavement but i didnt feel the jar when i hit the ground or anything jacket held up well, the sleeves were ground down a good bit and the only hole was in the back under the left armpit where it wasnt reinforced but it still did its job and i walked away with minor road rash to my leg and hand where it burned through the glove. HOWEVER i wouldnt recommend wearing one during the summer months in TX, I almost died on says when it was 80 out. you get very warm very quick. especially if your going to be sitting in lots of traffic.
