I have a HD perforated leather jacket. It is a great jacket I wear it from 35-85 degrees outside temps. Mine has a zip-out quilted vest for colder weather.

It is my favorite jacket, better than my old Hein Gerike vented jacket.

I have a mesh jacket that I use when the weather gets hotter.

Here in Va. the humidity goes up as the heat does.

I do put CE level shoulder and elbow pads in all of my jackets now.

While riding the HD perforated jacket doesn't feel heavy or bulky (for leather), even with the armor installed.

 

The black mesh long sleeve shirt that they show in their web page for $399.00.....A jacket for that kind of coin yes, a mesh shirt, come on.......

I have the Vanson Mesh Shirt and their mesh jacket with armor. The Vanson stuff will not melt into your skin on a get off also.... I think I paid $350 for the jacket last year.

 

I have a Harley 3 xl perforated leather jacket. It is hot in the summer and cold in the fall. I bought it because I don't like riding without a jacket. If you are moving above 35 mph its not bad. It is a great looking jacket but I have started wearing a vest instead.

 

I'm going to stick with Fox Creek. Great quality plus I'm from Independence and like to support the local guys. Their products are the best quality you can buy.

 

I'd go the mesh route with body armor mine is comfortable up to about 95 deg (with good movement) they have a insert for the Hydro-pack things. I've never tried them but I bought one this winter & intend to try it this year. Now this was on my V-Rod not sure how it will do with the fairing & stuff. The reason I like them is I dont have to put on a bunch of greasy **** sun tan lotion

 

I have a HD perforated leather jacket ad was wearing it tonight as a matter of fact. I like the jacket, it breathes very well, and I put the accessory armor in it. Still it is too warm once the temps get above 90 or so. Especially in stop and go traffic.
