Remember? It was too sunny and hot to wear anything but your mesh jacket?!

I own that light pocketless jacket, looks good and vents well but one inner breast pocket isn't enough. Good for scoots, no good for sport bike.

Lots of (well, the usual) CE approved armour in my mesh jacket.
Funny thing is I can't feel the wind through it, yet I don't get too hot wearing it.
My legs get hotter in summer, even with short pants on.

Errr, mesh pants anyone? :lol:

Absolutely...at lunch time sport riders will find room for only one tuna sandwich while traveling the Interstate in this poorly designed jacket ; but scooter riders can enjoy grilled tuna-melts and dessert.

Of course, there are those negative-headed folks who say every item in a riding jacket pocket is a looming projectile for the chest cavity during an off.
But, nothing to be done about negative folks....

I have a Tourmaster Sonora 3/4 Air Jacket. It is mesh and with the armor it is heavy, but on the road it lets lots of air in. I keep my wallet in the chest pocket when riding. There are tons of pockets, yet when I had my accident it was a lifesaver. My jeans were shredded but I walked away unhurt, aside from a small wrist problem which the doctor said would heal itself....and it has. I can not say enough for that jacket. It has inserts that can keep you warm and dry in all sorts of weather as well.

I just let the dog out and had to push the snow with the door. It is starting to get deep. My poor dog is a miniature poodle. He gets a cold dick.

I am watching an old earthquake movie and the path to my scooter shed has sunk about a foot. The end is near!
