Summer Jacket

[Wolfman]

Unlike a lot of people I very rarely feel cold, in fact I end up boiling even on a spring day in my Rukka without the linning,

SO

I want a COOL jacket & Trouses for going to Europe as TOO HOT - EQUALS NO CONCENTRACTION !!.

Any thoughts, The HG air jackets look OK, but as I am a FAT Bast**D, I have trouble finding anything to fit (NO COMMENTS on slimming, lost 1.5 Stones since Nov, 2 more to go.)

Thanks

Gary "The Beast" Simon.

Give SPC a call they had a sale on with a few big sizes, if they still have them I'm sure they will want to clear them.
Got myself a pair of AirFlow trousers for summer £35, well impresed

Saw a Belstaff jacket in my local bike shop today. Can't remember the name of it but you'd certainly describe it as a "mesh" type of jacket, you can see skin through the arm/body material.

Don't know that I'd trust it though! Gravel working it's way through the "holes", and the fact it's made by Belstaff

Had mine for a year now, excellent in summer, plenty of airflow zips, the liner is easy to put in and out, you can chuck it in the washing machine.

As well as the Gortwx liner coming out you can also remove the armour very easily as well, zip of the arms etc.
It's got More pockets than you can shake a stick at. there is a waterproof bag to put in any of the pockets (it works well). I know it's a bit pricey but............... .

I don't suffer from the cold like most people so I don't find it too bad, but a light fleece or thermal might not go amiss in winter

Underneath the jacket I wear a breathable full sleeve airtech tee shirt, helps the wicking effect considerably for summer and has a good cooling effect.
