Icon rain gear

The PDX Rain Jacket features a comfortable insulated mesh liner that is sewn into a tightly-woven nylon waterproof shell. Icon R&D has put their mojo on it, and the textile shell repels even the strongest rains. Hang it up after riding and 10 minutes later it feels dry again. The jacket is cut large to fit over your riding jacket, and an XL easily slipped over my Alpinestars ATL Leather Jacket.

It has a double closure system on the front to guard against water seeping in between the teeth of zippers. Besides a full-length waterproof zipper that runs down the front, it also has a small overlying flap that protects the zippers. Five Velcro fasteners keep the flap in place. The sleeves have a narrow elastic band at the wrist which seals down via its own Velcro strap to keep wind and rain from racing up them
