Default Best bang for buck riding jackets

The prices for mesh riding jackets are all over the place. I was looking for something lightweight, padded, high airflow to wear in the heat. High end prices were 400 to 500. Average is 250. I found a jacket with all the bells and whistles for 89.00. It came in the mail yesterday and fits like a glove. Here it is. The TourMaster Draft Air Jacket. Not top of the line but meets all the standards for safety.

I lost my wedding band at work and was hitting some pawn shops for a replacement and found a M.O.B. Leather for $40. I think that is some pretty good bang for the buck.
