I just saw this in the June issue of Sport Rider. I am a HUGE fan of the Icon Contra jacket. I have had mine for a few months now and can honestly say it is the best textile jacket i have ever owned. I wish this hi-viz yellow was available when I bought mine.

how hot/cold does it get where you are?

The summers can get into the to the upper 90s. Winter is usually very mild.
I have been wearing the jacket w/o the liner for the past few weeks. Temps in the 80s, good ventilation, all is well. For those Hellish Hot Humid days, I wear full mesh Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0
