Default Good Mesh Jacket

Found a pretty good mesh jacket, it is the Phoenix 5.0 from Joe Rocket. Purchased it from NewEnough.com This site is very quick on their shipping and cover most of the shipping charges on larger orders. Here is a pic of the jacket, if it is the style your looking for I recommend checking it out.
Also, write a testimonial and they will send you a $10 gift certificate for a future order that does not expire.

I have a FirstGear Mesh Tex and a Joe Rocket UFO mesh jacket, but by far the best Textile jacket I own is actually the Harley Switchback Jacket. It can double as a cool weather jacket as well. Very well made/thought out

The most clever one I found is the Integra at Triumph stores. The exterior rain liner tucks into a map pocket at the kidney area and the&nbsp\\;armor pads are easy to remove or adjust.
