Summer Mesh Jackets

[bad Chad]

Be glad you don't need a Tall size.  Very few choices in Tall and when a manufacturer does offer one, it's usually only in black.  Couple this with trying to find one without large brand name logo's plastered all over it (I'm looking at you, Rev it, AlpineStars, Dainese, and more) and you're screwed.

I share the misery.   I have been looking off and on for years for something other than black in a decent mesh tall, no luck.

On sale as a runout now in my local shop .... they invariably can be bought at a significant discount.

That said, you get a lot of jacket for the price.
You can also buy the matching pants and they zip together.

Well, I took Chuck's advice and got the Olympia. Had this patch sewn on that I won as a door prize when the Kansas rally was a national. 1993???????. Interesting rally, we had tornado warnings all around and about half a dozen Itialian fellers freakin the hell out! Anyway, I think I'll like the jacket. Just needs some bugs 🐜 on it now thanks for all the input!

Looks good ... I particularly like the patch

Since you started this post I've been monitoring Ebay for a summer jacket for my wife.

Managed to get a BMW "Airshell" in very good condition. It even has the goretex rain liner included.

I'll now need to find a suitable patch to identify it with the proper V-twin.

My summer jacket is also a BMW, an "Airflow" model. Other than the colour the main difference is that my jacket doesn't come with a liner and has no way of clipping or zipping one in. An hours work with a needle and thread means that my winter jacket liner can now clip into my summer jacket.
Again, I'll need to cover up the BMW signage with something more appropriate.|
The jackets are very well made and the price was very good.

Owning two of them, I'll say they are all the same. Actually, less is more.

The cheaper ones are lighter and breezier.      (That's why I wear my old Phoenix 1 instead of my Phoenix 4.)

[Guzzistajohn]

this Olympia has two vertical zippers on the front that open and form "scoops" that pull air through. Works well. Also has a nice rain jacket that can be worn over or under the mesh AND a heavy insulated liner. It's got it all baby and I'm as cool as Chuck......someday.

I wear this Dainese and love it! I feel safe and great when it's warm. Zip-out windbreaker lining.
