Want a new mesh textile jacket for this summer

Joe Rocket Reactor 2.0 Leather/Mesh Motorcycle Jacket :: New Enough, LTD

In my experience the Joe Rocket Reactor jacket is a Top notch product, it breathes really well and has one VERY important feature; the arms, shoulders are all perforated leather. It comes with a full back spine pad and as mentioned has optional for CE rated spine protector. The mesh is multilayered, there's 3-4 layers of THICK super heavy mesh fabric; in the event of a crash the mesh layers rub against eachother and won't cheeze grater/burn your skin. This also equates to a fabric that is probably thicker/stronger/more abrasive resistant than leather (albeit, not an actual road tested theory)

Keep in mind, my experience with the reactor jacket is limited to the first generation model; the one I linked is the second, though from what I can tell it's all a change for the better, with added features for things like a pocket for a replacement face shield.

Any particular reason for the insult?

Let me add that some manufacturers design their jackets so that they can easily snap or zip together with their pants. I love my Fieldsheer jacket/pant combo because when zipped together the pants do not slide down and stay securely at my waistline. Check to see if the pants you currently wear have a snap or zipper system and consider purchasing the jacket to complete the combo. The only disadvantage to this is that is makes it very difficult to moon people while riding LOL!

"Men's AirGlide" Enough said.

 

Insults belong in the "Anything Goes" section. Sheesh... I thought everyone knew that.

In case anyone didn't know, motorcyclesuperstore.com has all fieldsheer stuff on sale right now for 50% off or so and they sent me a booklet that gives $20 off orders over $200 (use coupon code c409ctlg20) and $5 off anything over $100 (c409ctlg5)

 

I have a Fieldsheer High Temp. Feels and looks like it is put together very well. If I am not going to wear the leather then this fits the bill for commuting and local slow speed rides. I would think the 7 and 8 would be good.

 

Check out the Joe Rocket Interceptor jacket. The sleeves unzip for the mesh to be revealed, but also comes with a liner. 3 jackets in one, almost....

 

I'm very happy with my Teknic Stinger (red).

Teknic 2009 - Stinger Jacket

 

LOVE my SS textile. Moment of Truth

 

This is for the hottest conditions, so it's going to be less protective.
I own one and wear it. It's better than not wearing a jacket at all. Has shoulder, elbow, and back "pads". It's made well, from the people that 1st brought perf. leather.....

Vanson Leathers Motorcycle Jacket - NEW VENT MAX

 

Good Prices for Air Mesh

MotorcycleCloseout.com has a real nice sale right now-Fieldsheer air mesh jacket for $99 shipped-among other brands,etc.

 

I just went on line and looked at this jacket. Mesh, leather, and CE, all for $99.00 to $109.00! Seems like the perfect solution for the hell days. Thanks for the tip!

 

Joe Rocket Honda Mesh Motorcycle Jacket :: New Enough, LTD

I bought one of those (in blue) for 50 bucks. Works great. Got to my door in 2 days.

I just removed all the Honda badges.

 

I don't know what colours you like, but I got the silver one at the bottom of the link. The thing's so cool I can wear it after I stop, and I'm the type that sweats trying to blink. Needless to say, but I really like it.
I have another summer jacket/pant' that I bought for warm riding as opposed to "hot"..... It's cool looking but not as "cool" to wear as the Vanson.

I think I look just like that guy, when I'm wearing it:thumbsup:

 

I can't really justify purchasing yet another moto jacket to add to my riding wardrobe, but you've sold me and I'm going to get the Vanson anyway. The mortgage payment can wait, and who needs to eat anyway?

P.S. You think I'd regret getting the black one rather than the silver one (re: heat absorption)?

 

I have the Olympia Stealth one-piece that I like to wear for all-day trips on slab. Easy on and off, and I can wear shorts and a T under it. I wore it for the ride out to South Dakota. It was a little warmer than I had hoped it would be, but bearable. It did attract and kill an incredible number of insects, though, so I wore it through a thunderstorm on the interstate and they all washed right off! Dried quickly at 80 mph, too!

And, yes, I look just like that guy too when wearing it. Just another added bonus!

Also at NE is the Fieldsheer High Flow 2 Mesh for $75

I wore one of these that belonged to a buddy earlier this summer and really liked it...
