Jacket
Hi Guys,
I live L.A. and it does get hot. So I don't bother wearing a jacket, I think I'm going to fry in one of them. Are there any jackets that keep you cool?

Before this turns into everyone chastising you for not wearing ATGATT, let me
direct you to some other threads about keeping cool. |

I live in Texas where it gets very hot. I always ride with a jacket. A good mesh jacket with decent airflow will keep you from cooking, as long as you're moving. I also have a hydro vest which I will wear under my mesh jacket if I know I will be in slow or stop and go type traffic. There are mixed reviews on these, but I like mine. It does keep me cool. The only downside is that it makes your shirt wet.

I have a Fieldsheer Hi-Flow II jacket. Easily found for $75.
It has good armor in the shoulders and elbows, but the back pad is a joke (most are). Feels like wearing a light cotton shirt. Very cool. It also comes in neon yellow if you're more interested in being seen than looking bada$$. |

Andrew, when did you move? I noticed you're now in "Level 5 Detention!"
