I admit I was intrigued when I saw this jacket described as a four-season garment. As a year-round commuter, I’ve been wearing three-season jackets for years. In the colder months (10-40F), I plug in an electric jacket liner and gloves for the winter commute. In the summer, I’d rather shed...

When it comes to the Women’s Automag 2 jacket, ICON Motosports claims, “We understand the core needs of the street-focused rider.” They aren’t lying. The jacket does many things and does them all well, which is a rare find for a price under $250. The Automag 2 doesn’t just perform...

I’m not one to shy away from that which is bold, so when ICON introduced the Overlord SB2 Wild Child,...
Due to the lack of motorcycle jackets made specifically for ladies, in the past, a selection was made mostly based...

What exactly does “Tuk Tested” entail, you might ask? This jacket has been tested more thoroughly than any other piece of gear in WBW history to date (that I’m aware of). I just returned from a 5600-mile adventure ride while using the Ballistic 14 jacket. Beginning from my home in...
