Looks like a pretty good summer jacket. I'm pretty sure it gets really hot and humid down in SC. I have no personal experience with the jacket but I would rock one

Yea Im looking at the all black jacket b/c i do a LOT of nite riding and the white would show a **** load of bugs. It gets a lil humid every now and then after it doesnt rain for about a week or so of 90*+ weather lol. Probably not as bad as it is out there in cali tho

I got one with the bike I bought, it's a decent jacket.

I haven't worn it very much since my helmet is blue and the jacket is red.

I'll sell it to you for 80 shipped. It's a large, Im 6'0 175 and it fits perfectly.

I love mine...Perfect for SoCal weather with vents and removable liner. Gets a little hot even without the liner on a 90 degree day but, a lot better than a leather jacket! Yes the Armor plates do work...I know!!

I didn't think that Cali got the kind of humidity we have?

I've tried one on and liked the way it fit fine, but I'm thinking I'm going to get a preforated jacket to make sure I get the most cooling I can.
