This is a light-weight jacket with lots of airflow, but seemingly good protection (haven't gotten to try that feature out yet...). The high-vis is something I'm committing to; though from a style standpoint, I'd sooner not, but it's well worth it - I know it's made a difference in my riding experience, especially in town. It's still a great-looking jacket. I'm going with the motto: Motorcyclists, start BEING seen! Pockets are great, too - almost too good, as I find myself digging through them to find things. Sizing is a bit tricky - I was told two different sizes from the guys on the phone. I'm 6'0, 41-inch chest, 36-inch waist, 210 pounds. I first tried the 50, but it was too small; the 52 fits just right.
It's pricey, but, in my view, well worth it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Sizing
I'm 6'0, 210, 40.5" chest, 38" waist (around belly button). Given what the video says about the relative roominess of the Tornado, would a 52 or 54 be better? Thank you!

Icon Overlord Type 1 Jacket Type 1 meets Type A. Aggressive, ambitious, and highly competitive. These are the the hallmarks of the Type A personality. Through years of research and development, we've extracted these traits from our Icon riders, such as Jason Britton, and imbued them into our textiles, armor, and patterns. The result is our new Type 1 Overlord jacket. It's lightweight yet rugged chassis, tailored attack fit, and multi-tiered defensive armor package expose it's true nature. Aggressive, ambitious, and highly competitive. In the urban sprawl, only the strongest survive - choose your gear accordingly. Icon attack fit Durable textile chassis Removable icon CE field armor impact protector elbow and shoulder Removable icon dual-density foam back pad Icon external injected plastic protection on shoulders, elbows and back Custom printed icon graphics Heavyweight ballistic impact panels Integrated fighter mesh panels for venting Gathered elastic flex panels on elbows and shoulders Removable insulated wind resistant liner Note 4XL size is only made in black color.
Pockets
Is it just the side 2 on the outside? I assume they zipper, correct? Thank you
Two outside pockets - surprisingly roomy, with high-quality, easy-to-manage zippers. But also a breast pocket that's very roomy - no zipper, but it's deep enough to be secure.
