Suggestions for Riding gear?

Howdy,
Currently i am running a Textile Jacket for riding my speedy. I would like to upgrade to a Leather top that has the waist zipper to mate to some leather pants for track days. I like the icon gear but does all that have the waist zipper, i cant seem to find it on there website.

Otherwise i was looking at the triumph gear, it didnt look too bad.

Idea's and suggestions for a good jacket for all around use that i could mate up with some pants would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

In my opinion, the Triumph gear is much higher quality than the Icon. I have the Rivton Jacket and it is outstanding. It has an 8 inch zipper in back, CE armor in the shoulders and elbows, and zip/snap tab closure on the sleeves. There is no back protector, but there is a protector pocket if you want to add one. A quick word about sizing, Triumph is a little slim through the trunk as compared to US sizes. I wear a 44 jacket and bought a 46, which fits perfectly. I've got some other Triumph gear and all of it is very well made and a good value.
