Recommend me a mesh jacket. Needs to have all the protection, can’t face taking my Goretex jacket south again this summer.
Thanks folks.
Funny you should mention that I’ve got to buy a new jacket as well but a Gortex one. I’m thinking Klim.
my dad and brother quite like thier Dainese Air Frame jackets
I’ve got a Revit mesh jacket, it’s good cause it zips into my Revit trousers too.
Will have a look at them. I see Richa do a mesh jacket too
I’ve just invested in a Knox armoured mesh shirt after nearly killing myself with heatstroke in my leathers too many times! They have a brilliant outlet section with a lot of jackets at half price Outlet - Knox

I’ve just bought an Adventure Spec Supershirt, I use it mainly off road but it can be used with just a T shirt on top. Supershirt | Adventure Spec

I like the idea of UK made Knox, though they seem more shirt than jacket. I’m running out of time to try on as it’s a week and a half before the first trip and I’m dead busy.
Urban Rider in Chelsea carry Knox & you can check their in store stock online.
I’ve got a Rev’it Tornado which is a well made mesh jacket that comes with a zip-out waterproof/lightly insulated inner jacket, which is handy for those chilly early morning starts. Mine’s a 5 year old original model, the MK 3 is the latest version.

A year ago ended up buying a Knox shirt/ jacket and it was great for Greece, Albania and Italy.
Left it at home this summer as we’re in Sweden and Norway!

I’d recommend checking out the Alpinestars T-GP Plus R V3 Air. It’s got solid armor and great airflow, perfect for those hot summer rides. Another good option is the REV’IT! Tornado 3, which offers excellent protection and comfort.
If you’re looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, the Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 is a solid choice too. It’s durable and has good ventilation.
By the way, if you’re into customizing your gear, take a look at getting some custom hats. They can add a unique touch to your riding outfit.
