I'm wanting to take a MSF course, but they all require you to have proper attire. I'm extremely warm natured and am leary of wearing a jacket all day in the sun.

 

I have read reviews on the jackets that are designed to keep you cool, but safe, but theyre intended to be used while riding down the road.

 

How well do you think theyll work while sitting through the outside part of the course?

 

If I'm not mistaken, all they require of you is a long sleeved shirt, gloves, boots or shoes over the ankle, long pants, and of course helmet. I know of some good "airish" riding jackets, but they won't do you a bit of good at parking lot speeds....which is what you'll be doing. So maybe a thin long-sleeved shirt?

wait till you hit the concrete at 35 and slide for 30ft... you will love that jacket... hell i wear dickies and/or dockers when i ride... they are tough pants and hold up well on the ground!

 

Most MSF courses only require long sleeved shirt. Check with the ones you are thinking of taking.

 

What Teek said!

 

Did some more research and it is just a long sleeve shirt they require. Dealership told me a jacket, probably wanted me to buy one.

Thanks for the info guys.

 

The MSF course ran by the Air Force on my installation only requires a brightly colored longsleeve shirt. But I plan on wearing my jacket that I bought. I figured I bought it to ride in so I might as well train in it too. Its a mesh/leather jacket with removable armor. Its pretty cool in the heat.

Good, then just wear a long-sleeved shirt! If ya want protection, there are some great jackets out there that are extremely cool and airy.
Some jackets are waterproof, have zip out thermal liner, and lots of vents to keep you cool in warm weather. They are pretty expensive, but less expensive than several jackets as the weather and conditions dictate.
