I have a cordura winter jacket but it's getting more than a little on the warm side at the moment so I need something a little cooler. I'm on a tight budget so can only spend about 350 - 400 bucks. 400 would be my absolute max.
99% of my riding is commuting through Auckland so don't need anything too flash. I've looked at a few brands but just can't tell if I'm gonna boil in them or not so I thought I would ask for ideas here.
Cheers.

Just bought a RevIT "Air" Jacket, mesh all over , knox armour in knees and shoulders - foam in the back, rear zip / belt loop etc. Really like the jacket, and was $250 at Motomail. Actually weird the 1st few times riding with it as the air flow is incredible.

I'm a bit on the small side for the one on trademe, what dya reckon on the mesh jackets. I have no idea how strong they are so don't know how well they would hold up.Maybe a Dririder "Climate Control" jacket. Mesh, seperate weatherproof lining and seperate thermal lining.

While the mesh is very cool and has armour, I can honestly say I wouldn't like to test it on the road surface. They are what they are and there's not a lot to them.

I've got a Ixon Player jacket at the mo in small and that is a nice fit, better with the winter lining in but still good without it.

I have the Spool Jacket & Pants for work and I have come off onto road wearing it.While the mesh is very cool and has armour, I can honestly say I wouldn't like to test it on the road surface. They are what they are and there's not a lot to them.
Very good. Only minor tears. I can vouch for the mesh keeping you nice and cool.

P.M. Katman he has some DriRider jackets, I'm sure he will do you a good price.......actually these are really nice for summer and with the thermal and waterproof liners in not too shabby for winter either.
