Anyone have any feedback on Ixon as a brand?

I was looking at getting one of these but can't much feedback on them or the brand

Looks a nice jacket, price is good...the Revit equivalent is an arse...a summer jacket at best @ $699.

I had an Ixon jacket - lasted me four years of pretty much constant use (every day) - then it started to go here and there (zips, some seams) It had done around 40,000ks .. and hard use. It was about four hour waterproof.

(I changed to Macna because I couldnt find Ixon where I live ...)


I've had several different bits of Ixon gear - all good.

Similar story here, my IXON jacket did me 3 years of riding daily before the main zip gave up. Also binned a couple of times at low speeds from friendly Aucklanders cutting me off and the jacket was still going strong, just a few scuffs here and there.

Got a pair of gloves and a jacket.
Had the gloves for maybe 5 years? Excellent gear. Just watch the sizing, being euro you might need 1 size bigger than normal

I have an Ixon Celtic leather jacket and matching pants. On the whole it seems to be decent gear with nice thick leather but the zips are crap and let them down. The zip on my jacket broke after about 1 year.

They held up quite well during a slide down some gravel.
