Need recommendations for a big-holed mesh jacket???

[Zilla500]

Supposedly, I have a textile "mesh" jacket, but the fibers are knitted tightly so it still
gets hot here in middle NC USA, even when I unzip the vents. Any recommend a fair-
priced (<$200) big-holed (I've seen them called this) mesh jacket that's very breathable,
that may also come in colors other than black? Thanks!

i've got an alpinestars exile in black/white...large for sale

take the inner liner out and it's fairly breathable... then again i'm in new england

[Zilla500]

Thanks, I'm looking for a new one.

Joe Rocket Phoenix 4 is what I wear on a regular basis and it is great.  Still gets hot when you aren't moving but i am as cool as one can be when the summer temps hit 100 here in VA.

i know you are looking for a new one. BUT what size are you? ive got a jr jacket as well, when liner removed its QUITE breathable

I live in Fl and my Tour Master GxAir does a very good job here when it is hot enough to fry eggs on the side walk not to mention the humidity!

Only $26.00 on the Brit Ebay site. Plenty of airflow, don't know how well it would hold up in a crash.

You should see the picture of the matching "shorts" that come with it. PLENTY of airflow...

thats quite allright....although the wife might like me in them.....(don't worry, i wouldn't dare post such pics of myself on here.)

Back on topic 
I am in NC and I use a Joe Rocket aswell.
When the liner is out it works just fine.

I currently have a Tourmaster Pivot 2 mesh in large, and want something more breathable. I'll check out the TM GxAir mentioned here. To cafeboy, what model Joe Rocket do you wear?

take a look at this link, they tested 10 jackets, maybe you'll find one you like...

This is what I use when it gets unbearably hot here in hell I mean Fl!

I got it off ebay for about $65 but can get it at Nexo sports! I may look like a power ranger and it flattens that ta-tas a little bit but it keeps me cool!

The video shows the Alpinestars Exile, and the material style looks just like my TM Pivot 2.

Again, I'm looking for a jacket with a "BIG-HOLED" or "LOOSE-WEAVE" mesh. The weave pattern looks like the weave for that material to sand wall putty with.

So, do you have a shirt on over it or what

This may look good on you (a woman) but may look odd on me (a guy). I guess if one wears a T-shirt underneath it'll be ok...

Thanks for the link. The FIELDSHEER MACH 1 JACKET may be what I'm looking for.

[Toogoofy317]

You boys can only dream what I wear under it!   Nah, an under armor t-shirt is what I wear over it. It actually looks better in person! But, yeah I usually throw my Miami Hurricane's long sleeve Nike Tee over it and it hides under it pretty well. It has the best spine protection I have ever seen! I will try to get it from my friend's house and take actual pics for reference!

Zilla - I use an AXO jacket.  If you look real close to the material you can see the inner liner.

Mary - I could have used what you wear during my Rolling Blunder fall on Memorial day.  Any info on brand/model would be appreciated.
