I've had a couple Tourmaster jackets and the stitching and quality in both of them has been poor. Zipper pulls have broken, stitching has come apart. Cheap price for a cheap jacket, you get what you pay for. .02

luv my ICON mesh jacket in summer. It has leather in the right places for protection.

I wear a Schott bomber jacket most of the time I ride. It's not vented, but I find it's fine for temps up to around 80 or 85 degrees (depending on the humidity). Hotter than that I use a mesh jacket. If my leather was vented, I might not need a mesh. Bottom line is to go with a good heavy leather lacket, but have a second jacket for the real hot times.
