Icon Overlord Sportbike SB1 Mesh Jacket With all the pattern engineering of the Overlord leather, but executed in a mesh chassis, the Overlord Sportbike SB1 represents possibly the best value in textile motorcycle jackets. The durable mesh chassis provides valuable protection while maintaining comfort. External molded plastic armor increases the level of protection while a full complement of internal CE impact protectors confirm the jackets legitimacy. Finally, the Overlords precurved arms and strategic flex zones position the rider in a sportbike-oriented attack posture. The Overlord Sportbike SB1 Meshready for whatever the streets may hold.

I love this jacket. It matches my bike perfectly! The only issue I have is that the armor isn't adjustable. Everything fits fine but the shoulder armor. It slides down so it's not completely covering (sitting on top of) my shoulders. (I am a female and bought a mens jackets so maybe that's why.) That's the only negative thing. I do wish it had an waterproof liner. That would make this jacket a 5 out of 5 easily! I had to add zipper pulls to some of the zippers too. Way to hard to open them with gloves on. It has great air flow which is NEEDED for Hawaii. I also upgraded the back armor.

Scorpion EXO-500 Oil Helmet - Hi-Viz Neon The Hi-Viz Neon Scorpion EXO-500 Oil Helmet immediately catches the eye with its innovative graphic designs. The EXO-500 is inspired by its older brother, the Scorpion EXO-1000. The EXO 500 Helmet is based on the GT philosophy and is fitted as standard with the last generation visor of its elder. And as if that were not enough, it integrates the SpeedView built-in retractable sunvisor treated with anti-fog coating on both sides. Two accessories usually reserved for high-end helmets! Comprising 3 caps and a lighter and more durable shell than its predecessor, fitted with a very soft and comfortable inner lining thanks to the new KwikWick2 liner and triple density foam cheek pads, the Scorpion EXO 500 Helmets will drastically change your expectations from a full face helmet of the standard range. Equipped with the revolutionary Airfit technology and a state-of-the-art ventilation system, chances are the new Scorpion will steal the show from the much more expensive helmets among those daily users who want to buy the best helmet for the best price. Features Kwikwick2 Liner - moisture wicking, hypoallergenic, removable, machine washable, soft SpeedView Retractable sunvisor - treated with antifog on both sides Airfit technology - Inflate and deflate the cheek pads to make it fit perfectly- this provides a better fit thus better safety and shock absorption. Speedshift visor system for extremely quick visor changes EverClear no-fog visor Optically-correct aero-tuned shield with state-of-the art fog-free technology and anti-scratch hardened coating. Advanced Polycarbonate Composite Engineered Shell Quiet, aero-tuned design for wind-tunnel tested comfort. EPS-lined chin bar for additional protection. Triple density foam cheek pads 3 Shell Sizes 3 Year Warranty

I couldn't wait for this helmet to come out. I love the fact that it's a hi-viz helmet but not just plain boring hi-viz. Love the graphics. I also love the drop down sun visor and the easy change visor. The inflatable cheek pads are pretty cool too. Helps with a more custom fit. These are features you'd see in a $300-$400 helmet.

Is this jacket waterproof or atleast water resistant/shower proof?

I live in the UK, we have a lot of dreary weather and i recently got this jacket, love it, ride it with the knox metasys back protector, comfy, makes me feel safe. But it rains a lot, and was wondering if this jacket will hold up to a light shower or would i be better off taking my textile one during rain?
NO! It has a windproof liner for only the chest part. I really did wish it had a waterproof liner. In Hawaii it rains a lot too. :( If you get it, I'd recommend a rain suit or jacket. A* has a nice one you throw over it like a windbreaker.
