I've settled on a jacket finally after going to GP twice, and around 4 other stores.
Tried various jackets and Jaws seems to fit me great, and when I finally was glad it's over GP and Riders Choice both tell me it's discontinued, while A* has it on their website and sites in US still stock it.

I'm looking for Jaws Perforated in White/Black color in size 50.
I'd prefer Canadian store, but if I have to I'll order from US, even though it will cost more.
Not really sure where to look, as I'm just getting into the sport.
 
a lot of US online retailers buy in bulk so they have the odd sizes left. Most retailers here stock a limited inventory so when something is discontinued its done...

I really wanted this Icon jacket, as much as people **** on Icon its a very well constructed solid jacket. Stylish as **** too...main reason I wanted it was the Akra branding. It was only left in S, XL and XXL going for about $600 before shipping/tax, I found a barely worn used one in Houston on their local forum for less than half that, I joined just so I could grab it. Its an awesome jacket...

if you're flexible on the colorway, i'm selling my perf Jaws. size 50euro
 
Send a PM to Sturge's Cycle on here for a price. That's where I bought mine, they should be able to order one in still.
 
I'm going to Niagara Falls very often, i can order one for you from Amazon. Just link me and give me a small deposit. I dont mind as i always pick up stuff from Amazon.

I have a membership with CBIUSA also.

I hate the neck cut of Icon jacket. Also doesnt have any thing to lock the zipper ?

Icon seems to attach its brand to stunt riders or xtreme/drift sports. Not sure if their gear would hold up at high speed. My friend got an Icon leather jacket, i compared it to my A* GP Pro leather jacket, the quality is way subpar
 
Any word when we might see the Celer jacket on closeout/dramatically reduced? I've been mulling over it forever, but its a lot of money for a jacket.

In leather I have two Dainese jackets, 1 Nexo one and this jacket. I wouldn't doubt any at speed. They've all been tested in the 40-80km range and done well. I don't know how the newer Icon stuff is but this jacket is well made with solid padding all around. I actually like the low neck when wearing a mock neck underneath or when its hot out compared to my other jackets, I don't know why you'd need something to lock the zipper? In 3 seasons I've never had it come down.

Everything else aside I wouldn't doubt its protective qualities, what it lacks is that super supple feel, awesome leather smell and glove like fit over years of use of something like a Dainese.
