Has anyone tried the Harley Davidson Hydration Jacket?

I currently have a First Gear Mesh jacket, which helps some in the summer, but on those really hot days it would be nice to
be able to stay a little cooler.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this out and their opinion?

Nope. \\; I'd expand but I can't effing post.

I take more frequent breaks and stay hydrated with water or electrolyte. \\;If I get to a gas stop and don't need to pee, then I need more water.
I wear mesh and am thinking about a similat one I found at Industial Safety Supply \\; $35 and it never wears out. \\; Stays wet for up to 3 days too!
I looked at it last week at the dealer. I thought it appeared very cheaply made. Did not seem to be durable at all. My $99 Tourmaster mesh jacket is much better.
I have one. It's fine as long as your moving. The black gets a little hot if you're just sitting there in the sun.  \\; \\;
Mine doesn't seem cheaply made at all.
