That looks really good.
Does it have a removable liner?
Most moms think motorcycles are the devil. Your mom wants you comfortable and safe(r.) I like your mom.
I like the Alpinestars MC stuff I have. I like that jacket too! Well done Mom!
In reply to Slippery :
Yes it does. I had to remove it to ride in our current 60 degree Fahrenheit weather.
I have to start shopping for a new summer jacket. My current Tourmaster mesh is going on six years old and is really showing its age. Winter jacket is still doing fine.
In reply to Nick Comstock :
I got this one last year. Its really good at letting air through. All you need is a back protector, which I reused from my colder weather jacket.
Have your mom call my mom.
Black is fine.....
TBH I ran Fly racing mesh jacket that is no longer available last year with armor in the chest, back shoulders and elbows but it really didn't flow that well. this year I bought a Bohn Armor Summer mesh riding shirt to wear under a T-shirt. Ideal? No, but with back, shoulder and elbow armor a damn sight better than nothing. I always wear Bohn Armor armored pants as I have both summer and winter pants, and wear regular pants over them. Side note, Eddie Bauer Guide Pro pants flow air like crap, they are a 3 season pant. Not great for summer, great for rain or cooler weather though.
I like Joe Rocket mesh jackets. I buy used ones on Ebay.
Road report. With the liner in its good to below 45 degrees at any speed with a long sleeve henley shirt underneath. Can't verify cooler than that yet. I tested the armor trying to get over a 40 foot patch of ice (rough ice), No damage to the Jacket or the rider (Edit: or the bike) at 5mph in a lowside. Side note, high praise to the Dunlop Roadsmart 3 tires that got me halfway through the ice patch and through three 8-12 inch potholes without slippage at 5 mph and I think would have been just fine if the final 36+ inch pothole hadn't upset the suspension on both ends at the same time and the jacket also kept me warm and dry during the whole episode.
I can't recommend the jacket highly enough for its use in 40 to 70 degree weather just zip in the liner for below 60 degrees and out above that. Probably can be ridden colder, if I get the opportunity I will report back.
