As far as summer riding goes, the best bet for staying as cool as a cucumber is to go with a mesh type textile jacket.
They still come complete with armour at the shoulders, elbows and back – you just have to make sure you’re not going to get caught out in the rain!
Here at Two Wheel Centre, our two favourites happen to be from Weise and RST. Take a look…
Weise Air Spin Jacket – £99.99 – Free Delivery!
The Air Spin jacket is absolutely superb for summer riding. It comes complete with a waterproof drop liner (in case you misjudge the weather), and is super lightweight with YKK zippers fitted throughout.
Available in gun, blue or red, in XS to XXXL.
RST Ventilator Jacket – £119.99 – Free Delivery!
Made from 600D Polyester Cordura and K942 polyester mesh shell, the Ventilator does what it say on the tin, and it does it well. Designed for summer riding but amazingly versatile, this jacket has a totally removable 110g thermal quilted liner, as well as a removable waterproof, breathable liner. It’s a cracker!
