A few years ago I bought a mesh jacket... now I never ride without it. Besides the obvious safety considerations, during the hottest weather I actually stay COOLER wearing this jacket. You don't lose moisture as quickly. My wife has one as well. 2-3 years ago we did 15 days out west... 112 degrees in some places. I think we would have dried up and blown away without the jackets. We wet our t-shirts and had some AC for about 2 minutes!!!

Almost any mesh jacket will work.

I have one made by power-trip (equivalent to their new "intercooler" model)

And my wife's is Cortech

For the not-so-hot days, last year I bought a very nice/cool denim style jacket... I've worn it a lot even when not on the bike. (of course have the leather jackets too.)

But the mesh is really the way to go. The power-trip site uses flash so no quick way to get a pic of the jacket.

Just curious what everybody's take on riding jackets are? I had a textile jacket when I had my sport bike and I'm looking in purchasing me a different one for the cruiser. The only thing I didn't care for about my last jacket was that it was just so damn hot during the summer. I'm not a big fan of riding without a jacket, and i hate to say that I had to last summer because I would sweat uncontrollably (not to be gross). Any and all opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
