Close the wrist openings down, or wear gauntlets over them. That may not work in the summer though.

Your jacket maybe a little too large![sm=biker2.gif]

Air is entering thru the cuffs, collar or waist. Figure out which one it is and see if you can stop or reduce the leak.

I used to have a white, light jacket that did that. I solved it by doing just that. The sleaves came down just far enough for me to velcro my riding gloves over them. Another area is that if you don't have the jacket zipped up all the way it can do this too.
