There is always going to be a compromise in an all weather jacket. Try to look at one that has an outer mesh panels, a windproof/waterproof liner and a quilted full liner.i need a good jacket that will protect me, keep me cool in the summer and warm in the winter and is reasonably priced. there are so many brands etc. that i don't know. so what do u guys suggest. i have a yellow bike btw.
First jacket was a dainese laguna seca. I would say it is for a cool breeze jacket only, thing is hot in the summer and cold in the winter.Dainese Zen here. Full circumference zipper, links w/ the Dainese New Drake Air Tex armored pants. I've been using this as my summer getup, since I have a separate set for the winter.
The Dainese gear works up to about 95F, so long as I'm moving. No airflow = hot. But I guess that'd be true if you were standing around in your yard in jeans & a T-shirt!
Looks good but not enough mesh, you're going to be burning up in 90+ weather. To be honest I had that dainese laguna seca jacket and it was freezing in the winter, I wore about 2 jackets underneath it and it was still pretty cold until I got the frank thomas which has a liner in it too.well i have looked at all the mentioned jackets and i think i found a different one that fits my needs. i figure if its real cold i can just wear a sweater or something underneath. alittle more than i want to spend but i think i can swing another 20 bux. its gonna be awhile before i get it but i will be sure to let yall know how it is.
