I love Icon/Icon 1000 and Alpinestars gear. Those are my two favs along with AGV and Dainese. I limit it to those brands because if I add anything else to my "wishlist" I'll be in debt for the rest of my life.
The Oildale jacket is on my wishlist. My current jacket which I absolutely love is the Icon Overlord Stealth. It's a textile jacket that is good for many seasons. It'll keep you warm with extra layers in cold weather and has enough breathing and is light enough for warmer weather. It has a removable liner and armor in the shoulders, elbows, and back. There are 3 pockets in the inside and fits snuggly. Looks awesome too.
For $155, it cannot be beat. I think it wears large even though it is form fitting-kind of like "slim" fitting items. I am 5'5" but a stocky 160 lbs with a 40" chest and 15" arms. I used to be bigger but have lifted less and not as heavy since leaving the Army and my back injury. It fits like a glove yet you have full range of motion and does not restrict or fight you.
It' rough spending $375+ on a jacket. I'm a tech guy and spend thousands on computers and gadgets. Also a motorhead and before I'm done, my R3 will have parts exceeding its retail price which I think 90% of us do around here! It's half the fun. That's not even bringing riding gear into the equation. After you pick out a jacket, some gloves, and maybe some pants and boots, it's like BAM! There goes another $1000 easy. For that money, I would want to make sure I would use it for regular wear outside of just using it for riding, but that is just my opinion. I'm supposed to be middle class and I'm an impulse buyer but feel more like I am more along the poverty line and certainly not part of the 1%-meh, just trying to be a better budgeter and savvy shopper.
The Hypersport Prime is ridiculous. Here is some info on the Overlord Stealth. Why there is a $200 difference and 150% price difference is beyond me. I would totally recommend it.
