Does anyone know of a good summer riding jacket? Something that is protective but not as hot as leather? I'm looking for something that would go well with a Harley.

 

heck out the BMG Zodiac.

I"m not sure what "go well with a harley" means though.

I don't like mesh, but I have a jacket that has mesh panels in it that I will use in a desperate situation.. it's a Powertrip. would not buy it again though.

 

I use a Joe Rocket mesh jacket. I can't say it matches a Harley, but I don't care. When it's really hot I get my T-Shirt wet and put the jacket on over it. This kind of acts like an air conditioner.

 

I do a long sleeve with my leather vest..

 

If I get really desperate, I'll sometimes, at a minimum, wear a kevlar mesh shirt I got from Dragginjeans. NO armor or anything though, so I rarely will wear it alone.

 

+1 on the Joe Rocket- It also had a removable wind and waterproof liner. The shell is mesh and allows air to flow through it. there is also armor and a removable spine pad.

 

Tourmaster intake air. Mesh with armor. zip out thermal liner AND rain liner. True 3 season jacket

 

Joe Rocket works well (order larger if buying on the net). SJ Ron

 

Yeah this.

Missouri get really humid in the dead of summer. That's when I am out in a T shirt. I don't like it but it's that or stay home.

 

wheres the protection?
I have a fox creek perforated (mesh) leather jacket that is standard riding gear regardless of temps; don't know if they still offer it? I live in s. fla, so too hot to ride in summer no matter what the attire.
