I have a Icon Tarmac in all white and after 3500 miles there is obviously some bug's on the front. I tryed washing it. Is there anything I can to get them off and keep it clean?

Scrub the mesh, but not too hard - you don't want it to fray.

Sponge + mild soap. Spit also works as a great bug dissolver.

In the future, clean off the buggies as soon as you can.

Perhaps you can wash it outside and try using a bit stronger stream of water and spray from the inside out? That might work.

I've gotta wash mine now that you mention it.

I keep mine clean by keeping it in the closet.

Does the tag on the jacket have wash instructions? Maybe a super gentle cycle in the washer with some woolite, then let it air dry.
