Icon Patrol Raiden Jacket The call of adventure beckons to every mans soul. A primal need to explore the limits of earth, body, and mind. The Patrol Raiden jacket is the ultimate companion in this quest. Built on Icon's proven Patrol jacket chassis, the Raiden is a fully waterproof, all-weather, all-environment riding jacket. To keep out the wind and rain, the abrasion-resistant nylon chassis is fully seam-sealed and includes waterproof YKK zippers and a quick-action magnetic storm flap. Mounted within the chassis is a full complement of Field Armor CE approved impact protectors. A full 3M reflective graphics package provides optimum nighttime visibility. Six intake and exhaust ports provide ample mechanical ventilation while the removable Thermolite insulated liner helps keep your core temperature regulated. Externally, Icon added enough pockets to carry everything you need for distance rides and included a removable external hydration pocket to hold a 1.5-liter water pack ( not included ).

Top quality jacket, seams very durable. time will tell, but I couldn't be happier at the start. ICON got this one right...style is top notch, protection couldn't be better, 100% waterproof in 2 down-pours so far, and fit is true to size.
A little on the expensive side, but from the look, feel, and venting/liner optiions, I know I'll get many years of good riding out of this one.
Another bonus...the white/orange color option eliminates the need for a reflective vest over the top of the jacket for military personnel. Not sure why ICON didn't advertise this one as high-vis and military compliant like they did with a couple others, but the base cops are good with it...no more vest for me!
Thanks ICON, and thanks Rev-Z !!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Can I buy a replacement liner for this jacket?

At some point during my tour of NW Canada I lost the liner. I love the jacket and really miss the liner now that the temps are dropping.
You should try ICON directly for that one...I doubt any vendors will sell them seperately, but ICON customer service might help. If not, you might be able to find something from Northface or Gander Mountain to wear underneath...good luck!

How warm is it compared to Armas?

Doesn't seem to be classified as a winter jacket.
I can't compare it to Armas, but with the liner in and vents closed, I won't need anything but a t-shirt underneath for winter riding. Very wind-proof and warm...this jacket should be considered 4 season. You won't be disapointed!

Will this jacket be comfortable on a sportbike, or is it mainly for cruiser/upright riding?

Fit, size, and contour of this one is great for cooler weather sport bike riding. I ride an FJR 1300, and it works out great. leaning over the tank a little more would not be a problem. Highly recommended!
