Well that sucks.  My only Icon gear is a pair of gloves which have held up very well.  I've looked at some of their jeans but they seem to feel the need to advertise heavily on the right rear pocket which I think looks a bit (a lot) silly.

FYI - I went with a pair of Shift Torque jeans instead and I have had no issues.  They are pretty heavy and I really can't imagine them ripping without a lot of help from me. (and they're pretty inexpensive)

As stated before, I am an Icon user, and i really like their gear. The pricepoint is really good, and the stuff seems rather sturdy, and i would have say provides a good amount of protection for street gear...
I have had a great experience with my Accelerant Perf jacket...

That being said, i recently bought a "Hooligan 54" Mesh Ladies Jacket as a gift for my girlfriend. It's a cool jacket, she likes the sparkly stars on the sleeves... a lot...
unfortunately, the manufacturing has proven to be a little shoddy on it in comparison to my (older) jacket. The stitching holding the zipper in on the right pocket came out at the bottom, and the zipper closure slid right off one day when she opened the pocket. not good.
She also recently purchased a pair of newer model Icon gloves to match her jacket and helmet (both gifts from me... it's nice having a common hobbie) that have had a finger start to open up at the tip already...
disappointing...

it seems like their standards have dropped recently..
the jacket is being replaced by cycle gear, hopefully it was just a fluke.

she loves the jacket, so were hoping for the best.
