Here is a recent long thread on the subject https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...-summer-3.html I wanted an affordable mesh jacket but also wanted premium armor. Ended up buying a basic 600d Jacket but upgraded to level 2 armour https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...l#post19914873

THIS. I’ve been using this exact jacket for years and years. absolutely the best armored mesh jacket I’ve seen, mine has back, shoulder and elbow protection. I actually had a wreck in 2007 while wearing this jacket and it held up really well - I had a bad right shoulder impact.

Check out Revzilla. They have good video reviews and discuss fit.

I have a Harley brand mesh and it’s nice but it’s the only one I’ve had so I have nothing to compare it to.

I have Tour Master and Cortech jackets, with back protectors and protection for shoulders and elbows.

Thankfully I have never been the crash test dummy proving their ability to protect

If you stick with any of the brand name ones you should be fine.

My newest jacket is black with the yellow high visibility panels and reflective seams.

I ride exclusively in SW Florida now and I need all the help I can get

I bought a Revit Tornado mesh when I bought my 2011 Sporty new. Great jacket and comes with a removable waterproof thermal liner, so this jacket is great for the cooler mornings. Lot's of airflow, and I normally wear it with a tee underneath. Comes with elbows and shoulder protection and has a pocket for a back armor.

As mentioned, check it out on Revzilla.

I'm happy with my Joe Rocket Super Cruiser Mesh Jacket with the stock armour and rain liner. The main reason for choosing it, I use a Joe Rocket King Cruiser leather jacket and liked its fit and quality. My only complaint is it uses quite a bit of velcro, I prefer snaps and buckles. I could have gone without the liner, I have a full rain suit in the Limited. And I probably would not take the little adventure bike out on dirt roads when its raining.

I have tried a few including the Joe Rocket mesh which is good. I currently have a HD Kilbourn and really like it. I actually bought a size up (as I usually do for my KTM and BMW gear) and it was too big. I bought a second correct sized one and I have an XXL that is brand new with tags that I would like to sell.

Let me know if you have any interest. It is darker than the pics. The flash makes it look gray, it is black.

Mike

I have a couple of mesh jackets, one is Joe Rocket and the other is Speed and Strength. Will probably upgrade to a Klim mesh in the near future though.

I just bought this jacket 2 months ago and love it. Thermal liner and waterproof liner come out and it has vents on the arms and chest and 3 vents on the back.
