  • Summer Jacket Suggstions

    Anyone care to recommend a lightweight summer riding jacket and online source? It can be whatever fabric (textile/mesh/etc) and any reasonable price range.

    Thx

    Fieldsheer makes a great product and has some summer jackets that would work well for you...

      I have one similar to this one and I love it. Mine is last years model. I live in Illinois and this has some serious airflow that helps in the hot summers. Good luck.

        I've got the joe rocket phoenix 3.0(2 years ago style phoenix) for summer riding and I love it. Its got the pads sewn in and with the liner removed, you get so much airflow that you cant even tell you're wearing a jacket! Plus, it sells for around $85 now that its a few years out. http://www.motorhelmets.com/hotsales...-phoenix-3.htm

            I was looking at that same jacket at the stealership the other day. I think its nice as hell, I just cant shell out the $190 for it at the moment. If I get a boost in income though.....it'll be my next summer jacket.

              I bought the Teknic chicane jacket from iron pony for 99. It has a ton of ventilation but still have the benefit of leather.

                Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0 Awesome jacket with tons of airflow. I paid almost 180 for it last year and now it is on sale for 89.00

                Here is a great deal in a 'tried and true' design which has been steadily improved over almost a decade. We are moving out a group of Phoenix 4.0 jackets to...

                      I just purchased a Tour Master "Draft" from Competition Assessories for $87.00 bucks...I like it alot. The Joe Rocket "Phoenix" is nice too...alittle more pricey.

                            I'll give another vote for the Joe Rocket Phoenix. Very good price and unfortunately I can vouch for its protection qualilty in a nasty low side. the jacket held up fine sliding down the pavement.
