I have a joe rocket mesh jacket, but I almost never wear it. It has perforated leather sleeves and a mesh body with armor shoulders, elbows and back with a kidney pad as well. nice jacket and it is fairly well ventilated, but I end up not wearing any jacket out here once it is warm.

I just bought a Fieldsheer Mach 7 from MotorcycleCloseouts.com ($79 plus $9 shipping) but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I will post a review after a few days.

I have several mesh jackets, but on the hottest days wearing my Vanson VentMax3 jacket is cooler than wearing just a t-shirt. It flows more air than anything I have seen and keeps the sun off your skin too. The reflective leather bones on the arms are cool. There is no collar, no liner, it is good for nothing except warm and hot weather - but the protection is top notch. Made in the USA too.

I wear a Fieldsheer Bullet II. It is not mesh but 1600 Cordora with armor removable liner and 2 large air vents in the front and back. It's also a very loud green,black, and white. Got it at competition accessories on sale for $99.00. $99.00 off regular price. I used to wear a HD Shovelhead leather jacket with a Icon day glo green vest. After being hit a couple of times I try to make sure cagers see me.

Ditto with the Joe Rocket mesh armored jacket with liner here. I did make a mistake and buy a black one. I looked hard to find one I could afford and one that wasn't real gawdy looking. I bought it on sale for about 150.00 and it is awesome enough to wear year round. I owuld go with another color other than black for my next one however, even though my bikes are black. The black just attracts too much heat from the sun here in Virginia.

Well I finally tested out my new FS Mach 7 jacket. I like it alot but make sure you order 2 sizes larger than normal. I only ordered one size larger...it fits but tight...like the air flow much cooler than my textile Frank Thomas Aqua.

I have a Firstgear mesh jacket (Silver w/black trim), has armor inserts at shoulders, elbows and back. It works good and is not too bad in hot weather. Don't remember how much I paid, but it was reasonable and it came in a "tall" size which was the main reason I selected it. I'm 6'2" and take Extra Long suit jackets.

All those mesh jackets feel tight with the liner, but when you remove that for summer, they fit alot looser. FYI
