Hey Scorpionrebel77, looks like you were really overcharged on this one, assuming the one sheelpriye has talked about is a similar model to yours. There is a possibility that these are 2 totally different models from the same manufacturer & that the price difference is due to the quality difference. Dig through this thread.

BEON seems to be a copy of ICON...
Even the designs are similar

Guys could any of you with a LS2 Dragon post a pic of yours while wearing it. I am thinking of buying the same for a friend of mine who has been pestering me since.And since it's not available here I am thinking of buying it off ebay.

I thought you had missed my post

Your call man. I personally find it a bit stuffy due to lack of ventilation.
