Anyone have an Olympia mesh jacket?
Pumba,

Olympia makes this: http://www.olympiamotosports.com/airglide/airglide.htm

I am thinking of giving it a try so I don't have to bring the rainsuit along. I have the pants. They are waterproof, with armour, etc. However, even with the liner out they do get warm in the sun.

The Tourmaster (http://www.tourmaster.com/xcart/prod...=269&cat=1) is also one I have considered for the original poster.

Tourmaster makes a great mesh jacket, as stated earlier. Wife and I both got them at a shop in Daytona Beach for sale for about $100. Great deal with removable rain & quilted liners. Lighter weight than the Harley brand we looked at and a whole lot cheaper.

Pumba11 - When you say big... I am 6' and 255lbs. and the XXL Tourmaster fits real good.

Got a tourmaster too,for about $150. Nice jacket, waterproof, liner for cold mornings. It does take a couple of minutes to snap everything in though.

Anyone have an Olympia mesh jacket?
My DH and I both have them (hi-viz). Very comfortable at speed. The linerworks well for a wide range of temps. Haven't gotten caught in a soaker yet, so can't speak to being waterproof.

Had a Vanson Vent Max and liked it alot, but without a liner I had to carry a rain jacket...and it lacked pockets.
