I am looking for a good Summer jacket, NO LEATHER. Black in color, something with armor.. What are you guys wearing? I want something that looks good. Cant look like crap on a nice bike ya know

I am leaning towards the Castle Turbine... http://www.castlesales.com/Products/?id=3036925708814703692581470369258147036925814&a=showproduct More white than I like, but I tried one on and it feels nice.

I hate dropping $ on a jacket that I have no clue on if they are any good or not.

This seems a long link. Just try Power trip mesh jackets

Probably tough to see in the photo, but I wear a Teknic Supervent Mesh for warm weather riding -- some wearers note that it's ridiculously short, but I don't ascribe to that and instead believe that it's just right. Especially for the Stryker since a Stryker rider sits a bit lower with knees bent. The Teknic doesn't bunch up in the back, nor does it ride too high. Just note that it's more form-fitting than some others. Anyway, it vents really well and has quite a bit of protection in the shoulders, elbows, back, and even a bit on the chest without making you look like a football player. Works for me, but in the end there are quite a lot of good summer jackets out there. I buy most of my stuff at Revzilla.com, since they have a lot of movies that show and explain their gear.

Happy hunting!

Wow. Just thinking about wearing a jacket in the summer makes me sweat, er glisten that is. Ladies don't sweat, we glisten

Check Cycle Gear.......prices are right and the quality is good......spent under $100.00 for my summer jacket works great

I have a Joe Rocket Phoneix 5.0...this is my 2nd Joe Rocket Phoenix (had my first for 10 years). I haven't tried other brands but I really like this one--about $150 and comes with a removable liner that is waterproof or can keep you warmer on the cool mornings and then remove it for the hot afternoons. I'm in FL and even when it's 100 deg this jacket is awesome (while moving of course). I got the black/neon green to go with my Raven and I think it looks nice

TourMaster Sonora Air Jacket . . . with the waterproof liner zipped out and the insulated liner out you can see light through the mesh easily. A crapload of pockets, zippers, straps and gizzies as well. This is my winter jacket as well here in Florida. Did a poker run in 35 to 40 degree weather and the jacket was extremely warm with the insulated liner AND the water proof liner zipped in. Was $169 at The Helmet Shop on sale. Great jacket.

I also have a Cycle-Gear mesh jacket that was $69 that is a close second to the Tourmaster.
It is the BILT Sport Mesh Motorcycle Jacket
Tourmaster is the coolest in warm weather.

Most of the mesh ones are similar. Slightly different looks or colors. I think the important thing is to try them on.

I have the Tourmaster Flex series 2. It is an awesome jacket, great for Rain, Cold and Hot weather. Saved me alot of money from buying different jackets for different seasons. I would recommend it anyone looking for a decent jacket. The series 3 is out if you wanna check that one out.

Series 2 (Alot cheaper now the series 3 is out. I paid $ 160 for mine.)

I have the black one and the little white lines are super reflective at night.

Series 3

I just got the Strength and Speed Call to Arms. I love it. Great looks, full protection, very cool but with removable liner for colder temps. Almost dont want to take it off when I get where I'm going. Only thing is its a bit shortish so if you've got any kind of bulge going on might be good to buy one size up. I'm fairly slim so fits me fine tho.

I just bought a Scorpion Ventech in the light gray, but they have a solid black, too. Have ridden with it three times from 70 to 90 with the air block liner out. I was impressed. It's like not wearing a jacket at all. Scorpion seems to make some good stuff, IMHO.
