Mesh Summer Jackets.

[younger06]

Looking to get a good quality (reasonably cheap) summer mesh jacket for the 2 or 3 warm days we're gonna get this summer......... any suggestions?

Has anyone used the Scott Summer?

I have a BMW summer jacket, which I have been very pleased with, although I think I wore it twice last year

I have used this in the last 3 summers http://www.ghostbikes.com/5010-black-piston-mesh-summer-motorcycle-jacket.html

Every now & then they have a sale and drop the price by a tenner.

Very breezy and does not take much space in a pannier for use once you get to the Dolomites. I stick my HG Cruise jacket under a cargo net if using the mesh jacket.

I've one, won in a raffle, it's a little too small for me but in hot weather it's very good. I think they have a longer use period if you use a light waterproof over the top

Wow, that's great value. I need a grey/silver one to match a pair of BMW Airflow pants I bought off here this week.

I hate being too hot, used to use forcefield armour with a tee shirt on top but have just replaced with one of these https://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/product/rukka-ai-rider-black-motorcycle-jacket/6124

Hasn't been warm enough to try yet but I got it mostly for my Europe trip in June.

I've been thinking about buying one of them too but the lack of a waterproof liner and back protector at £370 is pushing me towards a Klim Induction instead

Yeah, the Hi-Viz Induction is top of my wanted list but I can't justify the money for the amount of use it's gonna get. The Scott in the picture above can be had for €120!!!! (and I know we're not comparing "apples wit apples")

If you want to meet up somewhere to have a look at mine, let me know.

 

[younger06]

Just bought some silver BMW Airflow pants....... would the Hi Viz Induction look alright with them?

Actually, when I look at them together.........probably not!!

Hang on while I book a ferry!!!!!


(Seriously though, thanks for the offer)

I agree. I'm going to punish myself for even thinking it!!!!!

Why would anybody in their right mind want a mesh jacket with a waterproof LINER? Just pack a rain jacket hat got over the top - that way the mesh jacket doesn't get soaked. I have a Dainese mesh jacket with just such a liner - one of the dumbest ideas since the designer put the waterproof layer of the Rally suit on the inside...

When I used to ride in Australia (regularly 40 C plus) I had a cheap generic mesh jacket that i fitted dainese armour to worked a treat, my mate went the tshirt over the armour route but looked a bit of a twat as the shirt rode up his back over 60 mph.

Been back in the UK for 2 years and havnt needed a mesh jacket yet but heres hoping
