Make sure you lean forward, bend your elbows as if you are riding, make sure it fits snug, etc. I just bought a Scorpion jacket for cooler riding and I enjoy my Scorpion jacket much more. The leather is softer and it's cut longer, I just feel much more protected with that jacket compared to the Icon.
Just so you know what I'm talking about, btw when I'm standing up the jacket fits perfectly (which is how I tried it on) and I didn't realize this issue until I started riding:

Very good info, thank you Genejunkie....i'll make sure to get into a riding position.
EDIT: i do love the color of your jacket though
