Mesh jacket, Jeans and boots.
Last weekend it was in the high 80's and we were just comfortable with our Jackets as when we stopped and took them off.
We found a good deal on First Gear Jackets at www.newenough.com.
Recently they had a ale on some sizes.
I don't think the Harley Mesh has the armor that First gear does.

Default RE: riding apparel

I have been known to ride with shorts, sandles, muscle-shirt.

I wear what I want to wear when riding my scooter.

Have I been in a accident before? Hell yeah!!! Still its a CHOICE.

Not everyone has the same preference in riding style.
Next someone will be telling me that Ive gotta wear a helmet.
In Illinois, its a choice, and I hope it stays that way with ABATE standing by our side, and forcing the issues of CHOICE.

Riding apparel is a choice as well. And I base it on the temp. outside. I will be d@mned if I will wear a leather jacket, when the temp is reaching 98degrees, humidity is 100%. and heat index is about 106.

We wear boots, jeans and First Gear Mesh Jacket.
Just as comfortable at 85 as not wearing the jacket.
Try www.newenough.com.

Leather Armor - Full Face Helmet - Gloves & Leather Boots
Mesh Jacket - Half Helmet - Long Sleeve Shirt - Fingerless Gloves - Slip on boots
Tank Top - Shorts - Tennies & Sun Screen
Who Really Cares????
Ya ride to what ever comfort level "YOU" feel you need to...
Knowing that - If you haven't been down - You'll be down - and knowing you will have to live with the end results...

I see the results of MC Accidents daily.... And no matter what you're wearing "IT ISN'T A FUN THING"
