I live in Texas and it gets really warm here in the summer. Please recommend a good summer jacket and the best place to purchase. I don't see how leathers can be cool in the summer especially when it's 100 degrees.
Best warm weather jacket

Kushitani Victory Race Perforated, basically the top half of the Race 1pc suit :rockcobra-r1 said:
Prior to Kushitani I was a die hard Dainese wearer, but have now been converted. The Kushitani fits much better, alot more supple leather, and holds up very well in crashes. My race survived a violent high side onto the pavement over a cager without any visible damage :thumbup
The difference between the Dainese & Kushitani is amazing :yesnod
I purchased both of my Kushitani's from KneeDraggers online, I highly recomend them, great service, pricing & staff :thumbup

I've got nothing... I normally don't even wear a shirt, let alone a jacket. Helmets are for people that are going to crash. :fact
.... and I am just playing around, I always wear gear. I have been riding with a cheap jacket though... probably time to upgrade.

I've been using the Fieldsheer Titanium mesh jacket since 2002
and it's been very comfortable and cool. Comes with C.E. approved armour. I paid $89.00 for it then. It's cooler than my
perforated leather jacket, but keep in mind it does not replace
the protection of leather. Yes, I know what you mean about the
hot weather. It should hit 90 here in a few weeks.

I have had a Fieldsheer Sonic Air jacket for 2 years now, and it works great. Lots more leather than most mesh jackets and has a liner for cool mornings. Check with Motoliberty and see if they still have them.
