ORIGINAL: walight01

i wear a xl in everything but when i tried on my motorhead jacket, I had to get a size larger. now that i've broken it in and taken out the liner, i could of stayed at xl.
how much bigger is it? also i don't think the team merc have liners. i don't want the sleeves too long, but i don't want them too short since my arms will be stretched out and all.

I've got an Icon Daytona and the large fits me fine. I'm 5'10 175 lbs. The sleeves fit fine, but are only 1/4 past my wrist. I've heard that Icons run small, so my advice for you would be to get an XL. Did you check the Icon website, they used to have sizing charts on it.

yea, definately, the sleeve length on an xl would be great for me, i'm a 34/35, the xl sleeve is 34, and xxl is 35. but the double x would be way too big around the chest. i'm gonna go with the xl, the chest may be a tiny bit big, but the sleeves are the biggest problem, i don't wanna be wearing a 3/4 jacket because of them. thanks for the feedback. i'm gonna order it tonight or tomorrow, i'm gonna hold off with teh boots because i'm not sure how big/small they run.

get the XL. It sounds like that is going to fit a lot better than the L.... worst case scenario: it's a little big. You can still ride a little big, but not small or you can return it for a large... i bet the XL will fit good...

good points, better to ride a lil big/long rather than small/short.........metric bikes just found themselves another customer. i might put off the boots, cause i have no idea how icon boots run. size 11 in basically all shoes, but not sure if it would be too big/small with the super duty boot
