I know what you mean man, but you really can't fault the manufacturer. IF you saw the jacket in real life in a store you would have seen how much padding was in there. I know sometimes you can't see everything first for real that you can get on the internet.

Re: Icon...Let Down
i rock the ICON underarmor vest, elbow, and knee-shin guards...If you are "haulin ***" though, you will probably need leather - the only time i get over 60 is when im runnin from the cops...
Alpinestars makes real nice jackets, but i hate the smoothered feeling a leather jacket gives you...
definitely go to your local bike shop and decide which jacket you want, then order the SOB off the internet...

I have the Icon Pursuit I went sliding down the road after a tankslapper at over 65mph+ at least (i was at the top of 5th gear clicking into 6th gear on my ninja 250)
The only thing ****ed up was my gloves, the icon pursuit gloves (not the jacket)'s intergrated knuckle arm disentrgrated.

I've gone down @ 80 when I didn't know how to wheelie(tank slappers) with jus the jacket on of a 2 piece Joe Rocket race suit and besides a tear in the shoulder it held up real good and I didn't get ANY rash but broke my collarbone. I also have the vest and knee/shin guards and they've saved my *** stuntin when my gixxer ran me over. So all in all I think you're statements pretty dumb
