    Hello, ladies and gents.

    I've tried to research before posting, so my apologies if I missed the thread.

    What kind of light weight jackets do you suggest?

    I'm hot as hell when I'm riding, but I am not a fan of not wearing pants (keep your jokes to yourself on that one), jacket, gloves and a helmet of course. (I believe the old saying is "If the only protection you wear is a helmet, you better only crash on your head". Funny, but not funny).

    Got any suggestions, or a few links to point me in the right direction? Thanks! Not worried about price.

    In summer I use a FirstGear mesh jacket....really cool while moving, but like any other jacket, it warms up quickly while stopped.

    When it gets really hot, I rinse out a t-shirt, then put the jacket on over it and take off...better than air-conditioning!
