Icon jackets ? Armor ?

Klondike1020 · January 20th, 2012, 10:14 AM

I have been buying all my jackets pants and gloves off Craig's list . Some times you get some really great gear for a few bucks .

Well last week I scored a nice icon merc jacket for my gf off of a kid who thought it was a snowmobile jacket ! Lol

I stole it for thirty bucks but at the same time it's short the liner and armor.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy replacement pads and liner for a jacket?
Am I an idiot for getting a textile wo pads and liner ?
I think I can swap the pads out of her icon leather when she wears the textile?

Thanks

You can swap it out with the leather ones if you want. You can also find a dealer and ask them for replacement armour for it. Or you can go on like ebay and find armour that you like. I've been wanting to get a set of SAS-TEC armour for my leathers.

As you look to buy new armor, you may want to look at this thread on the quality of impact protection.

The tl;dr is: Sas-tec stuff kicks ass. CE standards are good, but aren't good enough according to doctors so some manufacturers (like Sas-tec) exceed CE standards. Others don't even meet CE standards despite claims. So I'd think about going aftermarket with Sas-tec stuff and not just getting OEM Icon stuff. Sas-tec stuff probably less expensive, and can be cut to size (confirmed by Sas-tec) without changing impact protectin, so it is easy to adapt to any gear.
