ICON Raiden UX Waterproof Jacket Reviews

I have ICON Raiden's DKR jacket so I'm glad to also have this lighter but still technical UX jacket.  ICON has always been a style play and I like that because I don’t want to look like everyone else but I’ve also noticed each year they get better and better with the functionality.

Pro's:

• Full waterproof but also 4 way stretchable material (what they call Hycor)
• Liner for winter warmth plus three vents to keep you cool in the summer
• Full D30 armor plus back plate is CE certified level 1
• Sleeves are pre-curved for most ergonomic fit
• It's an "adventure" cut but not overly baggy
• Detachable hood (which I don't use)
• Fleece covered zipper garage to protect your throat
• Jacket has zipper to attach pants

Improvements: I’d have done 2 front vents, sleeve vents and two rear vertical vents.  This has two side vents and a rear horizontal vent.  My hydration pack is going to push that horizontal vent closed and I do find my arms sweating in warmer weather.  The site says good for up to hot conditions but I'd disagree here.
