Well from my personal experience with the Icon Hooligan Decay jacket it is top notch. True its not a leather jacket and yea it might not last in a real bad crash but i have no doubt it will keep me safe in the wreck. Like i said befor i have wrecked in this jacket once before. I was on a downhill grade going about 45. I had new Michelin Pilot Activ tires on the Hyo and i had ridden almost 500 miles before attempting the curves to remove the coating on the tires but they were still slick and it wasnt gripping. I low sided slid on my back and rolled over onto my stomach then got up. Nothing happened to the jacket and i had holes in my pants but the jacket was 100% okay. I had a bruise on my elbow and one on my back right shoulder blade but nothing on the jacket. Because of this i am 100% confident in Icons quality. I have a pair of Joe Rocket Gloves and they shitted out on me in one season.
