Wanted, vented summer jacket

[ELIMINATOR]

Just been to Hein Gericke to buy their summer vented Tuareg jacket.

Large was a bit tight around the arse XL was too long in the sleeve, plus the elbow armour was on the forearms & not on the elbows. OK if the adjustment straps done up tight, but then the venting wouldn't be so good.
There was another jacket, I think it was called air jacket, but it just seemed too flimsy.

Saw a Joe Rocket? at Infinity, but not convinced that a completely vented jacket is a good idea. Probably be too cold most of the time, as I will be commuting early morning.

Anyone got any reccomendations at max. £100

I got a Jo Rocket, brand new, with tags - 44" chest size.

Has vents in chest, back and sleeves that close up totally for cold. Also has fix-in fleece, and a natty built in ruck-sac. Really well made with armour etc.

New kiddie means I am having a clear-out (apparently).

Yours for £100 (plus postage).

I've got a Richa Air Vent type jacket, with water proof inner and also a thermal inner. Think that was around your budget and am pleased with it so far

The backpack folds out of the bum pouch and clips up to the shoulders - natty.

I've got one too - great bit of kit and excellent value for money. More vents than you can shake a stick at. Just used it recently on a 19 trip to Morocco.............

19 what ?

Motomartin, pmd you.

This Belstaff jacket, how good is the sizing/ I'm bordering on X large, with some makes of clothing. My Hein Gericke winter jacket is a good fit & large. Hmm, probably answered my own question

I ended up buying the Joe Rocket total mesh jacket, brilliant today. Tomorrow morning at 7:00 am might be a tad different

I bought a Frank Thomas jacket a few weeks ago. Most of their stuff I have tried on in the past has been pants but I have to say that this jacket is the best vented jacket I have tried so far. Very comfortable and only cost about £80. I will only use it about 3-4 times a year I expect, but so far its been excellent on some middle of the day rides in the blazing sunshine. 9.5/10. It even comes with a rain jacket zipped in to the back of it

Apparently a waistcoat can be bought for the joe rocket Phoenix airmesh jacket. This is soaked in water for a couple of minutes then evaporation kicks in & you cool down. So says the blurb I've read on the net.
Not meant to drip or actually feel wet. E-mailed Infinity to see if they sell it, Ok the shops not open this time of night is it, Mr. Smartypants.
