Default Mesh jacket
I'm looking for a good mesh jacket for the summer. I have been looking at Toumaster air 2 but they seem to not be making them any more. I went to the Tourmaster web page and they all say out of stock.
My question to you is do you know of a good mesh jacket with armour, preferably ce armour, in the elbows, sholders, and back?

I bought a Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh jacket. It is very well made, has the armor and the wind/waterproof liner works very well. They have many different models to choose from. This is the one I bought.

I went with the all black and am very happy with it.

Vanson Vent Max IV. Flows more air than any other mesh jacket of my experience, and has shoulder, elbow, and back armor.

I have a Joe Rocket with mesh torso and perforated leather sleeves. It works well (even in Houston summer heat) and I know from experience that the armor/padding is useful in low-speed accident. It doesn't look Harley cool, but it gets the job done.

motorcyclegear.com has this one http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street...le_jacket.html

It is a textile and mesh jacket combo, seems like a good jacket. They also have a ton of stuff on closeout for good prices too
