Personally, I don't like the flip collar of the A*, and it looks like the Icon has a little more padding through the shoulders and elbows.

Of the Icons, I'd buy the first one, not too tacky, and the stars look reflective.

Amusing that you assumed she was a guy.

The middle one is prolly the most girly of them all, if you're into that sort of thing.

"it depends on what you look like so you should just go ahead and post pics of you on your bike"

That's what we're supposed to say, right guys?

ICON's girly gear would look pretty good on you but I would try on some A*'s gear too. You won't look so good after your jacket rips apart when you wreck.

I had a hard time picking out my size on mine. I know its suppose to be tight, and i was going by the shoulder seems and waht not. But i'm not sure if the sleeves are too short in Large. Xl didnt make a difference and XXL i was like swimming in the chest region, so i stuck with the L (175lbs 6'3)

well i asked my gf and she likes the first icon jacket (kitty) but in white *shrugs shoulders* i went to berts mega mall and asked about icon jackets...they said they havent heard anything bad about the jackets but they said they're gloves come apart at the seams (they had dozens of returns of icon gloves) maybe that can help ur decision....as for me i like a* stars.....

Icon #2 gets my vote. Not too flashy with all the "refelctive" stars. But depends if you want to be flashy or not. When you buy one, model for us.
