Brooke wants to get me a jacket for summer after I about heat stroked yesterday in my leather jacket(non perf) and it was only after about 30 minutes of riding.

Which of these two jackets would you get:

Fly CoolPro Mesh Motorcycle Jacket-$122.34




Keep your cool when things heat up with Fly's CoolPro mesh jacket. The mesh keeps the air flowing, and the water-resistant liner is great for the occasional rain shower or as a windbreaker on a cool morning or evening ride.
Features
-Multi-panel, abrasion resistant mesh design keeps you cool in the hottest conditions
-Anatomically fitted for the riding position
-Removable CE approved armor in the shoulders, elbows, with comfort pad in the back
-840D ballistic nylon in high impact areas
-High visibility reflective piping for added safety
-Lightweight, water resistant, removable liner
-3-step adjustable upper & lower sleeve volume control keeps armor in just the right place
-Zippered wrist cuff enclosure with security snap
-Dual Velcro® adjustable waist straps provide a custom fit
-2 zipped hand warmer pockets, 1 internal map pocket
-8” zipper connects to pant


OR


Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 Motorcycle Jacket-$114.27



Mesh is your best friend on a hot summer day. It lets the breeze flow through to keep you cooler, and the Phoenix 5.0 comes with a removable waterproof liner just in case you get caught in a summer shower.

I've been a long time fan of FirstGear and Cortech (Tourmaster). Mesh jackets are quite safe but the buyer needs to know these are single use only. One off and you are typically replacing the jacket. I got lucky on my first off and hit grass on landing so the jacket was unscathed. The second off wore a hole through the mesh but the armor held and did the kob. Not a mark on me! Trashed that one and bought a new one just like it.

I have this one but in Blue/black.

I had the women's version of the Joe Rocket jacket and really liked it. Plus I think the color would go better with your bike. :rolleyes:

I paid nearly $150 for mine. It is a decent jacket. Airflow is good. The liner is helpful for cool mornings. It won't protect like good leather but not getting heat stroke is far more important than the extra protection. It does have some decent armor in the back, shoulders and elbows.
