I also did a quick check on the Icon Persuit to see what the folks at newenough.com had to say about it, and here's their comments on it:

And to provide some warmth on a cool morning or when riding in the mountains (with wide temp fluctuations), the jacket comes with a removable full sleeve wind stop jacket lining. Many mesh styles have this type of lining which is a great idea. For crash protection, you get CE approved “turtle shell” type armor in the shoulders and elbows and a foam back pad. Take a look at the “View Larger Pictures” link above to see this jacket’s most unique feature—zip off sleeves!

Here's what they said about the Earl Jacket:

For climate control, the jacket has two zippered vents in the front, two in the rear and two at each sleeve end. For cooler weather comfort, you can use the removable thermal liner. There is a full circumference zipper you can use to attach the jacket to pants.

Lastly, their take on the Hammer:

These perforated panels should do a pretty good job at keeping you cool in warm weather. The jacket also includes a vest-type thermal liner which will provide some warmth in the winter, but since the shell is perforated, it won’t be able to block air flow through the shell, so consider this model for cooler to hot weather, but not for cold weather. A turtle shell CE armor is provided for the shoulders and elbows and a foam back pad is included.
