I'm looking for a good protective jacket and pants. Thoughts on this one?

Not my style, but if the quality is good, and you like it, go for it.

I'm sure it's a fine leather butit's a little too crotch-rocket lookingfor my taste.

I don't like the crotch rocket look myself. Now our friend has an ICON jacket with the pads that is just black leather. It is a nice looking jacket, has the protection and does not look like a power ranger should be wearing it.

They make good quality stuff but I agree with Heather above.

The Dianese jacket is top shelf. Icon is not the same quality. If I recall Icon is Parts Directs private label more bling than substance. Besides who gives a rats *** what anyone else thinks about how it looks. If you like it get it.

It doesn't really screamcruiser to me. If you want some nice, lower key gear, try Olympia motorsports, TourMaster or FirstGear,Oh - anIconis very good, not the "bling" someone mentioned above. Also, the Vanson classic line is very nice and top notch quality (and expensive lol). Although looking at the jacket you posted in all black, it's actually quite nice.
