oh on a side note DO NOT BUY ANYTHING WITH WHITE ON IT
it will get dirty very quickly and look like crap and she wont want to wear it and make you buy her another jacket :P at least... my girl did :P

I've gone through about 3 jackets. My first was an Icon and it was junk...the seams pulled apart after a couple of months and the zipper broke too. But the jacket I have now is another Icon and I've had zero problems with it.
This one is the Women's Merc Hero in leather and I wouldn't wear anything else. It's very durable and I feel very safe in it. The fit is great - the body is long enough to overlap the top of my jeans (it goes about to my hips, not my waist like some other jackets are cut) , the collar isn't annoying and the sleeves are long enough. This jacket is comfortable whether I'm riding or I'm on the back of the bike. I got mine from motorcycle superstore.com. I was skeptical about ordering online without being able to try them on, but their size charts are accurate.
This jacket is great in cooler weather and OK in hot. The front is perforated so a breeze does get through and there's a full removable liner too.

damn hangfire that skull one is pretty sweet. i would so sport that. im a female, (on my man's name right now) but yeah id get her something like that, if shes sporty and a lil rough around the edges. shed really like it like i think. just like i loved my when my bf surprised me with jeep wrangler lights, to get off topic.
as a girl i LOVE surprises..
but tonimurray has a great point why dont you just take her? my bf kills me if i dont get him something he likes after i tell him i have a surprise. hes always like "i hate surprises" hence xmas is just a trip to the shopping mall together.. hehe.
damn i might have to get myself one...
but my man doesnt have a bike quite yet

hey sorry to be posting this in ur ladies section but u ladies would know better than any of the guys...my girlfriend wants to start riding with me(on the back of my bike...ill convince her soon enough to get one of her own though!) and her birthday is coming up and i was gonna get her a good looking riding jacket. i was looking at the icon hella crossbones jacket but i just wanted to see if any of u ladies have tried it on her seen one...just wanna know if its a decent piece or not...also she's about 5'5" maybe 110 athletic build average sized chest (incase it matters for sizing) for her size i guess. sooooo i wanna know if any of u have an icon jacket what size u think about for her, they run a little small or a little large? im not gonna ask her cuz itll ruin the suprise
ANY HELP/SUGGESTION ON OTHER JACKETS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

thanks for the advice i think what ill do then is get her maybe that merc jacketthat jinxxy_cat said she liked and keep the receipt if the gf doesnt like it at least the thought/surprise was still their and we can go look through everything for something else...shes not one to complain though shed be happy with anything i got her(or at least shed act like it) shes not the kind of person to tell me nah thats not me so im tryin to get a spot on match for style...Efling, so if my gf is the size i described her u think a small?
