Resistance to road rash

I like the Icon jacket, but I'm concerned about the material it's made of. All the specifications say, is "durable nylon" on the shell. Many jackets will say something like "600 denier" , or even "Cordura"....to show that the material is resistant to abrasion....."durable nylon" doesn't tell me much, and I wonder if it is going to melt if I end up sliding on the pavement.

Not being critical....but want to know what I'm buying.

Thanks.

I was looking at the Flex 2 in a bike shop, and the salesman said that it was a nice jacket, but that the zippers were not very good.

Since zippers are so important,, this has caused me to worry about buying the Flex 2 jacket. Are the zippers a problem?
