Default Mesh Jacket

I'm looking for a good mesh type jacket to wear when I ride my black XL50 this summer. Does anyone know of any good gear that would go with the bike? I also havea black HD helmet. I looked at the HD mesh stuff and it doesn't seem to go well with the bike's color.

I bought the gray Tourmaster Flex. Very versatile and fits my needs very well and didnt take me to the poor house. It is armored ... not sure if thats what your looking for.

Yes, definately check out www.tourmaster.com

Their prices are extremely fair and it is good quality stuff. I just bought the Jett jacket last week. Great price and quality, and you can get them in all black so you don't have to look like a power ranger.

Tried a friend's Joe Rocket mesh today. It really is a cooler ride with in than without it, armor and all. Can't wait to order one.

I have a Teknic "Supervent" jacket. Have had it 5 years now. Just throw it in the washer, armour and all. It is holding up VERY well.

I was going to go for the Joe rocket until I found the Tourmaster Flex. I believe they stole some ideas from Joe Rocket and made a better jacket.

The single thing I do not like about the Tourmaster is the velcro neck closure. Until broken in, Constantly got hung up on my Helmet strap ...

First Gear makes a very good Mesh jacket, with armor.

My intermediate weather mesh is a HD Switchback jacket. Great for anything except the extremes of Hot and Cold. But it does work in a pinch, especially with a liner.

My Lady and I have the FXRG jackets for the summer and love them. I like that fact that they have the zip-off shell if you don't want to use it. They also come withliners. Both the shell and liner are very light so you can toss them into the bags and pull them out at night if you need them.
