Just got my Joe Rocket Phoenix Jacket yesterday...

[crazyaussie]

and am extremely happy with it...definitely keeps me cool on these hot ass Texas days. The mesh lets all air pass through the body to keep you cool. Does get a little warm at a stand-still, but don't all jackets? I bought the jacket on motoxoutlet.com for $60.00 brand new...not a bad deal.

To match the jacket, I have a pair of Joe Rocket Phoenix gloves, which also keep my hands very cool while riding and have a nice look to them.

Along with the gloves and jacket, I recently bought an HJC CL-14 helmet ($80 closeout special on motorcycle-superstore.com) and a reflective silver mirrored visor.

Of course all the gear is color coordinated and the red looks pretty good against my black Kat (see avatar). Now all I need are the pants and boots...but I gotta replenish my wallet. That's all for now.

Good job gearing up!!
Boots are pricey but worth it..

I recently purchased a phoenix jacket as well. It does exactly what its supposed to do. I also have the phoenix pants. The pants being black make them VERY uncomfortable at stop lights...lol. We've had three weeks of 90 weather in upstate Ny, and its very humid. I won't go without gear so I'm glad I have them, otherwise I might not ride.

I don't like riding without gear either, and my Phoenix sure helps keep me on the bike, even in 95 degree weather. I have the gloves as well and they sure do the job!!!!

All the sub-zero months will take care of those problems.

I know, I lived in Syracuse for a bit.

I have the jacket and gloves - I think they are both great for summer.
