Textile armored jackets . Mesh when it's warm.

 

I end up looking like a real goober on cool mornings. I have a blue windbreaker/rain top that I wear. It reall keeps the heat in and can be crumpled up and stuffed into the small bag I starp to the back of the bike. Other than that it is t-shirts for me.

 

Winter Leather riding jacket
SpringSummerFall Mesh Jacket w/Liner if the evening/nights are cool.

 

i would also say the vest seams to be only on the old timers in my area. i just can't do the vest or the chaps..... jeans T shirt when it's hot, mesh coat cool, leather jacket cold....

 

I wear a vest about 90% of the time... i love it -- especially when my windshield is off and the wind is hitting me.

Lately though I've been wearing cashual clothes as opposed to the "harley gear"... just today i wore khaki cargo shorts and a long sleeve T and sneakers like i was going to the gym.....

 

I'm with TampaJim. Used to wear a vest or just a t-shirt but after getting taken out by a cager and seeing what my jacket took in saving my skin I'd just rather be a little less cooler and a lot more safe.

Here's the jacket post accident. Remember: No jacket and that would have been my skin trashed.

When it warm I wear a tank top. I only wear my vest if I'm going to be on a long ride. It keeps my shirt from flapping around. If it's 70 or below I wear my jacket.
