Best hot weather jacket?

[BKKBuell]

I am in Thailand and here not only the girl are hot, the weather is worse. I use a Kushitani mesh which is reasonable cool, not to expensive but 1st of all protected me at 2 accidents perfectly. The Oneil pants are good as well.

Shorts, flipflops and a tank top

Seriously tho... I wear a Joe Rocket perf leather jacket in the summer. Not only does it hit 110 here in Oklahoma, it's also humid. I wont wear mesh or cloth, just me I guess

I wear a textile joe rocket jacket and the vents keep me cool. I get pretty hot at stop lights but try and take routes that avoid them when its really hot. I live in michigan so our summer isnt as bad. If I lived in the south I would probably take my chances with an armored mesh jacket.

Not only does it hit 110 here in Oklahoma

That is BS. I was in Oklahoma last summer for work and it was 116 in the shade. Too damn hot.

What does 30 degrees feel like @ 85mph?

The lightest I've seen was the Phoenix that was posted above. It was mainly mesh and very very light. Half the weight of my Tourmaster mesh. I voted no though, didn't seem safe enough. It fit like a tall size, if I see it again, I may take it and custom add leather patches in a few spots.

My tourmaster is fine, but still very hot and heavy. No more black color for me next time.

The Buell mesh jacket is nice up to the 95-100 degree days, at that point their isnt anything thats comfy. But they have gotten really expensive over the last few years. I saw one go for $400 on ebay.

So if I wanted to let it go $200 would be a very fair price?

Dainese has a great summer jacket, the air flux, it is very light and has all the padding except a back protector, but has a pocket for one.... I love the one I have

they just came out with a few more colors as well

A friend has told me good things about this jacket too.
It gets really hot in te summer here too, and last summer I was wearing my black leather jacket, with the liner removed. Too damn hot, I'd take my chances with a simple jacket for short low speed rides. For this summer I'm getting this one, or something similar

nice jacket good color choice.

Thank you. I have a black and yellow helmet, jacket and gloves to match my yellow Firebolt, and ever since I bought my Nuclear Blue and black S3, the boss' wife has been razzing me; "When are you going to get a jacket to match your new (she calls it purple) bike?"
I'll show her
