Spidi with their latest releases has come out with their Spidi Track Leather Jacket. Spidi is a fairly well known brand amongst riders everywhere and it's no surprise with all the great products they supply. If you are in the market for a Motorcycle Leather Jacket, the Track Leather Jacket definitely deserves a look considering it is Spidi's top end leather jacket.
Unlike most of their newer products, the Track Leather Jacket has a generous cut enabling you to buy it in your American size rather than upgrading by one size. The primary construction of the Track Leather is premium race grade cowhide which is one of the best leather materials you can use for abrasion resistance. The shoulders feature a triple layer of leather protection on top of the armor for a combination of impact and abrasion protection. The primary armor they use here is their top of the line Forcetech CE Rated armor in both the shoulders and elbows to give you ample protection from impact in the most vulnerable areas.
The flex material on the jacket is Spidi's Tenax flex material which provides great flexibility for uninhibited mobility in active riding scenarios. The jacket is not waterproof, but for an additional fee, you can purchase Spidi's H2Out liner separately, which is extremely easy to install. To keep you warm, they have included a thermal vest liner to keep the core of your body warm in cooler weather conditions. There are also mini vents located on the front of your shouders for airflow and cooling in racing conditions.
Overall, the Track Leather Jacket is a solid option for those looking for a leather motorcycle jacket and being Spidi's top end leather jacket. It should definitely be taken into consideration when looking for your new sport and track leather jacket.

With their new lineup of products for this upcoming season, Spidi is proud to introduce their Spidi Net Force H2Out Jacket. Spidi has created quality products for years and with that hard work, they have built up a solid reputation amongst motorcycle riders. For those looking for a Textile Motorcycle Jacket that will fill your sport touring needs year round, the Net Force definitely deserves a look.
As I mentioned before, the Net Force is claimed to be an all-season jacket with its Dinatech Schoeller mesh panels and removable standalone H2Out liner and thermal liner to keep you dry and warm. The key fact about the Dinatech mesh is that it is better built than your standard mesh with a much higher higher abrasion resistance. Note that the thermal liner has dual sided aluminum lining, a rare feature among thermal liners, which will prevent heat from escaping the jacket giving you that extra heat and comfort you'll need during the colder seasons. This aluminum is the same technology that we first saw in shock blankets and is now permeating some of the motorcycle gear industry.
Trying to further differentiate themselves from the competition, Spidi has actually designed their H2Out liner in a way where it is nearly impossible to rip apart the thermal liner making it very durable and reliable for the length of its existence. The rest of the garment is primarily composed of Spidi's Tenax and Tenax flex material. The primary armor used in the jacket is Spidi's Forcetech armor which they use in all of their higher end products. In addition to shoulder and elbow armor, this jacket is also prepared for a CE level one or two back protector from Spidi and their Warrior chest protector. The sizing on this jacket, like all of Spidi's textile gear, is a Euro cut meaning that you should buy it in a size larger than your American textile jacket size.
All in all, the Net Force is a great option for its price and with Spidi's master craftwork and well known brand, should be a favorite amongst riders everywhere.

The H2Out waterproof breathable liner is built into the outer liner that way no matter how moist it is outside, you'll stay comfortably dry.
Spidi uses their proprietary Tenax shell which has high abrasion resistance and is very durable. There are Tenax Flex panels in high mobility areas for ease of motion. Protection wise, Spidi has equipped the Voyager 2 with Forcetech armor, its best armor used in the top-end jackets in their lineup. Just like most of Spidi's jackets, the Voyager 2 has a Euro-cut fit to it meaning you'll have to purchase it in a size larger than your American jacket size. The jacket does also come with removable groin straps to prevent it from falling off in the event of a crash.

Icon has recently come out with their Icon Women's Overlord Type 1 Jacket. Icon is a popular brand amongst the motorcycle crowd known for their stellar looks and good quality and the Women's Overlord jacket is just another prime example of their premium work. With its stylish looks and great durability, the Women's Overlord is soon to be a success amongst female sport and street riders.
With its textile and mesh composition, the Women's Overlord Type 1 is meant to be worn primarily during the warm weather seasons aka fall, spring, and summer.

One of Icon's newest jacket/pant combinations is the Icon Brawnson Jacket and the Icon Brawnson Textile Overpants. Icon is one of the more popular brands amongst sport, stunt and street motorcyclists each year their releases become more and more popular. Since the release a few months back, the jacket and the pants have been widely successful with riders in our community based on the feedback we've seen thus far.
This jacket is primarily a fall/spring jacket, but will also give you great coverage and venting during the summer. The Brawnson Jacket is wind resistant and water resistant, but not waterproof. The cut is rather generous with its American fitting which is a huge plus so you can buy it in your normal size. There is a durable textile outer shell along with shoulder vents on the jacket as well as exhaust venting on the back. The armor on the jacket is CE Rated and located on the shoulders and elbows as well as a dual density foam pad on the back for protection. In addition, there is an insulated vest liner inside the jacket to help you get through the cooler weather. Icon is providing a lot of bang for the buck with this jacket and it's sure to continue to be popular with sport riders.
Just like the jacket, the Brawnson Overpants have a generous cut to them and run a bit on the larger size so if buying them in your normal jeans size, it is recommended you use a belt. The CE Rated knee armor, which Icon calls Field Armor, is adjustable which is a big positive about these pants. These pants are very beefy and provide great protection and are water resistant, but are not waterproof. With a 900D exterior shell construction, the Brawnsons provide excellent resistance to abrasion. All in all, the Brawnson Overpants provide excellent bang for the buck and pair up perfectly with the Brawnson jacket.
The Icon Brawnson Jacket and Overpants are both rock solid products, as we would expect from Icon, and should not disappoint.
In-your-face styling and radical appearance is the best way to describeICON Motorcycle Jackets & Gear. The Icon Overlord Prime Leather Jacket and the Icon Overlord Prime Hero Leather Jacket are Icon's most aggressive cut jackets and they were designed specifically for the aggressive sport and street rider. There's a ton of protection in the Overlord Prime and Hero and they're a solid Spring through Fall choice for people living in the northeast. This jacket will be a great choice for an aggressive rider looking for a leather jacket with an aggressive style to match.
The fit of the Overlord is what really sets this jacket apart from the other jackets in the Icon line up. Most Icon Leather Jackets such as the Icon Motorhead Leather Jacket and the Icon Daytona Leather Jacket have a much more casual fit and feel. Icon is calling the Overlord Prime their attack fit jacket. The Overlord Prime has a much more athletic fit and conforms tighter to the body, shoulders and arms which is want you want on a sport bike. The neck of the jacket doesn't have a collar so there's nothing to get in the way of head rotations and movement when in a race tuck. The arms have a forward precurve for a better fit in the race riding position and the elbows and shoulder blades both have accordion flex panels to help give the rider a better range of
motion and to prevent any kind of bunching or binding in the jacket. The inside of the arm also has stretch panels to aid in fitment, venting, and motion.
Icon went the extra mile in protection of this jacket. The Overlord has CE rated armor in the elbows and shoulders of the jacket. This jacket comes with Icon's dual density back protector which can be upgraded to a CE rated Icon Stryker Back Protector if you want the jacket to be fully CE certified. The shoulders and elbows both have external sliders that will give the rider more protection in the event of a fall and slide. The external sliders also just make the jacket look much more aggressive. The back also has a large
injected plastic slider below the neck and between the shoulders. The Overlord has a full 1.2-1.4 millimeter leather construction. The only thing that Icon left out is a 360 pant zipper to make the jacket track legal. For a $450-495 jacket, I would expect to see a pant connect, but I suppose the thinking here is that Icon truly didn't make this jacket for track riding.
The styling of the Overlord Prime Hero is what Icon is known for. The Hero version is very loud and really stands out in a crowd of leather jackets. There's a huge skull and bones graphic on the front with some really cool looking race-replica badges on the chest and arms. Icon logos running
down the sleeves add a nice touch on the jacket. On the back there is a skull graphic to complement the front. The Hero is an extra 45 dollars but it's money well spent if you're looking for a jacket with a little extra flare.
Sizing goes from sm-xxl and the standard Overlord Prime has a price tag of $450 while the Hero version is $495.
