It is difficult to decide between textile and leather. Both have their advantages, but riders shouldn't have to compromise between comfort and protection. Icon's ARC mesh jacket brings together the best of both worlds.
The body of the ARC is constructed of durable fighter mesh nylon that provides comfortable flexibility and airflow while remaining strong. Despite the high-grade mesh, I still can't turn my back on leather. Cowhide is classic riding apparel because it offers the best abrasion protection, so Icon outfitted impact areas with 1.2-1.4 mm premium grade leather.
The mesh structure will move with your body; and where the leather needs to be, Icon has included gathered leather expansion panels at articulation areas. Your flexibility will only be limited by the circumstances of your genetics.
Beyond the elegant combination of materials, the ARC offers removable CE field armor in the elbows and shoulders, and a dual-density foam back pad. Essentially, this jacket offers what everyone looks for in a textile or a leather jacket.
The look is exactly what you would expect of Icon. Sharp angles and dramatic contrast provide style and visibility on the road. Color options include blue, red, camo, and black. Icon refers to the black version as "stealth," as this is the only choice that drops the dramatic contrast and fully embraces the look of a traditional leather jacket.
