I just recieved my Icon Motorhead jacket in the mail. I'm a 19 year old male and I'm 175, 6'0" and pretty fit. I got a large in it thinking that would fit but I think I may have gotten it too big. How is it supposed to fit? In the arms it goes down to the middle of my hand. It's pretty loose around the middle and when I bend over it bulges out a little in the belly and chest. Does it need to be skin tight? It does seem to have a little too much leather everywhere but is that how it's supposed to be for a street jacket? It's not uncomfortable but I'm just worried that it's not going to work right in a fall or even worse (gasp :scared) I look like a gangly dork. Please give me your advice but I hope I don't have to shell out the shipping back to get another size. If I have to I will. thanks

Sounds too big to me... but I can't really tell without a good picture. How does it fit when you are in the riding position on your bike?????

It bunches up a little in the arms. Rides up a little in the back of my neck and billows out in the front. I think I'm gonna get the Medium. That thread helped a lot. I'm sorry but I don't have the accesories for supplying pics or I would without a doubt. Thanks for your reply.
From what I've seen of Icon jackets, they are cut more like a casual jacket, and not like a form fitting race leather :yesnodDeskJockey said:
Kind of like my AStars Hero jacket, more for casual wear rather than riding gear :yesnod
A good race/riding jacket should be snug all over including arms, torso, & back, to prevent movement of the jacket when riding, or in the event of a spill. You definately don't want it riding up or flapping in the wind :thumbup
I'm only 5'8 and I got a large in the motorhead. It comes to a little past my wrist when standing still but fits great when I'm leaned over.
