The coldest day of the year here has got me thinking about a summer jacket. Ive a got a Moshin touring jacket that is fine now but I get too hot in it on warmer days. Im thinking of something vented. I had a look at a Shift Backdraft the other day which fit me very well and looked to be up to the job. It was very well vented as its a mesh style jacket. But looking for other options.244777

That's what i have and I must say, I find it excellent. Not too warm on hot days and on the cooler days, I've never been chilly,

Have a look at getting something with removable liners. I've got a Motoline jacket I use year round, three layers, two removable, one a waterproof layer and the other a nice thick winter lining. In summer I whip out the liners and go for it, in winter I shove the lot back in. Works a treat, never overheat in summer or get too chilly in winter.
May be cheaper than buying different jackets for different seasons.

My current jacket I can remove the liner etc. But in winter I still get to hot.

Ive looked at some Dianese leather jackets. Mmmmmmm very nice. not sure if they would be cooler to wear.

I dont mind having a winter and summer jacket.

You can remove the liner in my Furygan jacket too, btw.

When it gets hot just ride faster. Don't bother thanking me for that gem.
