Well here is what I am wearing now. Got it from a member on here for $35 CHA CHING!
Blue of course.

This was my first jacket breathes good in summer and with all the liners pretty warm

From the boys here for my b-day. When it is OMG hot I can take of the sleeves but takes away safety.

This one is for the 100 degree days with 98% humidity. Squishes the boobies though.

Boo for squished boobies!   :nono:

I got one of these for cooler weather riding. Man it smells good. Dianese Cage Pelle leather jacket -



My warmer weather jacket is the same as what Mister posted. The Dryrider mesh jackets make riding bearable in the Australian Summer.

Here is my new Shift summer jacket. It lets the wind in and ony cost me $169, when I bought it I upgraded to a CE approved back amour for a bit more protection only cost me $30 and I can use it in any jacket that has a zippable pocket for the back piece. Only down side is no rain liner so if it buckets down I'm wet.



Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

We have no good shops around here to try gear on, so I've been buying the the steals off craig. Right now I have a mesh Alpine star sniper and a 1pc Teknic Violator suit;





I sold my Teknic leather jacket since it was a bit too small, next season I plan to scoop another to replace it.

So hot here in Houston that I typically wore only some elbow armor last summer.  Bday came around and was gifted with a Fly mesh jacket.  Seems okay, not as much airflow as I'd hoped for but well armored on elbows, forearms, back, shoulders, etc,....

On me or by itself, no.
Just tried but my lighting in my room and phones camera Sucks!

Pretty much looks exactly as photo'd.
but a little darker in the non meshed areas.
in the photos on the site they look like a dark blue / grey.

armor in the elbows, shoulders and back.
nice removable liner too, which isnt some thin garbage.
tons of zipper pockets. 4 outside 2 inside.

for only $70, its a friggin Steal!
no its not covered in name brand advertising, but im not one for that.

I wouldnt hesitate to suggest this to anyone, and def plan to buy another if i ever need one.

(edit)
funny
it actually makes u look more Beefed up, so to speak.
when I would ride to work, the kids would see me before I took it off and ask if I've been workin out lately.

(edited again)
sorry multi tasking hahaha

liner out in 90 degree weather, its just fine.
of course sitting still for long periods of time does get hot, but anything other then a Tshirt would.
and riding to work at night in 40 degree weather with the liner was no problem at all.
coldest I've rode to work last before I put the bike away to be worked on.

Speed and Strength Mesh jacket with armor for the Summer.



Vulcan Leather jacket with armor for the winter. I am actually quite suprised at the quality of this jacket for the price. I would buy it again.

I'm not a huge fan of the gravel/marble coloring but otherwise that looks like a great jacket. :)

Here's mine:




I also have a Joe Rocket mesh/armored jacket with a rainproof insert. I got the jacket and my helmet off CL for $50 - the jacket had never even been worn and the helmet was almost brand new. The Joe Rocket jacket I paid like $40 for, it is a lot better in the summer than my leather jacket with QUILTED lining! LOL

I also have a pair of SHIFT touring pants (textile). They're pretty nice but they don't quite fit (slightly too big). They're hand-me-downs so I can't really complain.

They called it distressed leather. I think a solid color leather would have been nicer, but I figured it would get a lot of use and this would look "Original" longer vs a sold color creasing and fading at wear spots and dirt and bugs.... 

It does seem quite well made, the armor is thick and very present yet it doesn't hamper movement. Best thing is that i don't look like a power ranger walking around in it when I'm off the bike.

the one I wear most because it fits great:

shift backdraft... mesh

agv falcon... perforated matte leather
