Any reviews for Icon Merc Leather jacket?

Nungboy · 09-10-2008, 01:55 PM

I have a sweet Dainese set of leathers but they are black as midnight on a moonless night and rather hot on a Summer afternoon in Tucson. I curently wear a KTM Adventure jacket in the Summer but it is black too and is long...not waist-length. Too much solar gain. So, looking for a light-colored or white perf leather jacket has revealed few options. I do see the Icon Merc Leather jacket looks pretty nice...anyone have any experience with it? The white look mighty purdy! (And matching gloves too!)

Who needs gear??? Gear just slows down your reflexes, and you don't look as cool for the chicas!

Go squid or go home!

Surely you've owned one or two Icons...

Hopefully Reggie will chime because he owns ICON gear, and I know that member Viff just bought some boots as well. I almost bought a jacket, but they were kinda pricey from what I saw.

You need something with plenty of vents for AZ heat!

Thanks Stuka...we'll get the count up here so we'll get on the front page!
Vents are generally not enought here...I need to get one of those "cooling vests" too.
