With removable D30 CE elbow, shoulder, and back protectors, this jacket offers some of the best protection in various colour combinations. The light foam is fused with fighter mesh and nylon framework, making it more durable than a stitched version.
Articulated accordion flex zones make movement easier and more comfortable, as do strategically placed perforated leather panels. The Icon Overlord features a removable insulated vest liner, allowing you to adjust your jacket to your comfort level as the weather dictates.
With its blacked-out looks, the bike jacket promises to mold to your form and fits close, making you feel locked into battle armour when preparing for your next ride. Its construction is perfect for keeping you warm on cold rides and cool on warm rides, and it provides an excellent alternative to traditional leather for less than $350.
Zip it together with the Overlord pants for the complete warrior look. You can easily upgrade to the Stryker CE Back Protector if you want increased protection. The Icon Overlord Resistance Jacket will not only keep you safe, but it will keep you riding in style. Get ready to turn a few heads.
