I bough a Technik grey and white textile jacket a while ago. Now it's grey and turd yellow from all the bugs guts. I tried to clean it, bleach it... not getting back to white anytime soon.I would go for something in mesh+ white even if it doesn't match your bike to perfection. The next set of riding gear will be white perf leather for the summer. I can't stand sitting in NYC traffic in black mesh but I want more protection at the same time.
:rof::rof:I thought this was a post about a jacket. Not talking about my signature???? Its just as big as if Id have a photo for my signature.

Its my own thread. And I didnt make fun of you I just said its huge, dont get all bent out of shape.
That's what I'm using right now... since I bought the bike. Was the best $70.oo I spend. It's getting a bit beat up now, I kind of use it almost every day.I've got an old "Motoboss" mesh jacket, I've had it for years. Living in a desert climate, it sees a lot more use than my heavy leather jacket.

I do know it is comfortable and has proper padding in the right places.
You do have to hand wash it, so every month or so; I throw it in the bathtub and hand wash it, rinse it and hang it outside to dry.
For long rides during the summer, I put a cooling vest on underneath it and that works great. The mesh allows the air to hit the cooling vest and it acts like a "swamp cooler".
Use to be Cycle Gear brand. Been replace by Bilt if I can remember. Great jacket for the $$$. Might be able to dig one out somewhere... I got the yellow/black one.where can I get said motoboss jacket? what denier is it? the hjigher the denier the safer it is correcto-mundo?
No, there is no restriction in any way... here is a picture of mine. They cool your "CORE" and that keeps the whole body cool. They work better in lower humidity or dry areas, though. If you are out on a long ride, it is easy to stop at a convenience store or gas station, buy some bottled water and re-wet them, as they get dry after about 90 minutes or so (depending on temp and humidity).do cooling vests restrict movement?
