In need of a summer jacket

[DeeJ]

I am in need of a new jacket as mine just melts me when wearing it in warm weather.

I have seen some mesh jackets with full armour in but can never find any in my size they are always small.

Does anyone know any good jackets that are reasonably thin or mesh like with full armour.

Look around for a fieldsheer mach1 jacket, its what I have and they are available in all sizes. Joe Rocket do one as well but I have not seen one for a while. Pretty sure that Alpinestar and Hein gericke also do well vented jackets just not sure of the models sorry.

Snap! I just bought a new jacket because my usual one was making me sweat like a pig, and when I took the lining out it was like a bin bag against my skin.

If you can bare to spend not very much (some people like to get expensive gear, understandably. I just didn't have much to spend on a jacket) then I can highly recommend this one. The only thing is I bought it 2 weeks ago for £44 and the sneaky boogers have put the price up by quite a bit!

It has Know armour at the shoulders and elbows which I was impressed with. I've got a seperate back protector so didn't mind it not having one...

Similar situation here to.

I've just bought a Weise Twister for £99 from my local bike shop. It's very light, very cool when on/off the bike, comes with shoulder elbow and back protection, as well as a removable lining.

I tried various makes, but with a 48-50" chest nothing seemed to fit right. This in an XXL fits perfect.
