Just wondering what everyone thinks of the Joe Rocket "phoenix 4.0" textile jacket? Durning the summer here its 105 to 115. So i'm looking for something thats gonna be cool(not hot to wear), and offer some protection.
Thanks all Bill.

I have a Joe Rocket perforated textile jacket (The one crash jackets).  It's a good choice for HOT summer riding.

I also have a joe rocket textile jacket and I like it alot. I don't know what model it is.

Before you buy Joe Rocket take a look at other brands.  You can easily find better quality gear for a similar price elsewhere.  I'm planning to pick up a Tourmaster Flex jacket in a few weeks: http://www.newenough.com/tour_master_flex_jacket_page.htm .  Supposedly this is a fantastic jacket for all-season riding.  It has textile panels that zip open or off and mesh underneath.  The textile is 600+ Denier, which is better than anything JR offers in this price range.  It also comes with higher-quality armor than the JR stuff.  Seems like a good idea and at $150 it's a good value too.
