Default New Gear Review

Well I just picked up a new Icon Acellerant Perforated jacket in white. It's basically the same as my other Icon Acellerant jacket except it's got a billion little holes poked in it. It still has the Ti armor on the back and shoulders and it also comes with a wind proof liner. Me and the puppy put on about 200 miles today and it was pushing 80 but I felt like I wasn't wearing a jacket at all. Also,either Icon has started using even thicker armor or it's specific to this jacket but the armor is really thick and CE approved btw. Anyway,it's a fine jacket with a casual cut and subtle style. Definitely worth the $320 otd I paid for it!

Yea I own three non-leather jackets but I never feel really "safe" when I wear them. I feel really comfortable in his jacket. Comfort=confidence!

Leather=mental comfort=confidence! Maybe if I hadn't seen 3 different accidents with guys wearing different textile jackets and those jackets falling apart....
