I live in Southern Florida.. its a constant 90 degrees all summer long.. whats the coolest most ventilated jackets I can get..

 

the AVG(sp?) mesh is pretty cool, I got it for $119...I had that but it was too big for me and so I got an Icon mesh(got it for $189)..it's probably the best looking mesh jackets out there and its plenty cool. I also live in the FL heat

 

I have a alpinesrae textile checkit the one with the big alpinstar a on it thats the best one i have i love that Jacket i paid around 200 for it but thats a deal because that jacket has been good in the heat and cold it has a liner that u take right out and then it fully vented out... I rode in the florida heat with it when i was down there felt like i was riding in New england agian

 

I have the a* T-Stunt. Been good so far here in AZ.

 

i need to get another textile jacket as well. I have a teknic textile thats not very cool so i never wear it. I'm using an alpinestars leather dyno jacket...not perforated either. It is extremely hot with it here in georgia. Temps are around 85-90 degrees. I was thinking about getting the icon mesh as well.

I have one of those Joe Rocket textile's you see everyone in the world wear, its cooler than a leather in this horrible south florida heat, but its kinda ugly lol I'm thinking about getting a Speedrag next, they are really cool lookin . . .

Where you at in Southern Florida?

 

go with the alpinestar mesh one they're great u can't go wrong i'm telling u right now it was the best investment i've made for safty gear.... its the t-stunt air-flow

 

I'm using some crappy FS $80 dollar mesh jacket... It does the trick...

This damn Florida heat is killing me, I wore a tank top, my gloves and helmet when I rode to the beach the other day... Now I look like I'm still wearing a tanktop and gloves, even when I have them off...

I'll probably upgrade to an icon mesh jacket next month.

LMAO haha I wore a sleeveless shirt the other day and I still have a damn tanline on my chest from there the shirt ended haha

Hey where in Palm beach are you??

 

I usually rock my Icon Mesh at night or during evening rides duing the week with some jeans. I slip on the weekends though and usually rock a Jersey, Tank top, or T-shirt with some shorts to the beach and just cruising. Not exactly safe but its hot as **** here in FL and it's much easier picking up chicks when you're not dressed in gear

 

deathrage mesh

 

I live close to I95, the Forest Hill Exit, cant remember the number.

 

i had mesh jacket for a while, but now i wont wear anything less than leather or textile. mesh just seems like it would just rip up right away.

It won't. Motorcycle Consumer News did a test on these a year or so ago and the result was they are tougher than you think. They have also been out for a few years now and if they truly sucked we would know it. At highway speeds I would rather be wearing a textile, but for around town driving they are fine.

I wear the JR Phoenix jacket. It was cheap, offers good protection ats moderate speeds, and is comfortable. Hint: If you are looking at one of these, *do not get black*, it works against you.

 

Another vote for the A* T-Stunt air flo mesh. I have that and a Joe Rocket Pheonix 3.0. Let's just say the Joe Rocket has been seeing duty as a blanket for my dog as of late.
