Last week was hot -- really, really hot. My leather jacket has great ventilation and I normally defend the leather to my lungs' end due to the superior abrasion protection. My vanity also lends me to suffer a little for that classic look, but last week made we wish I had the light weight and airflow of a textile jacket.
If I do break down and buy a jacket that didn't used to be a cow, I would have to lean toward Tour Master's Cortech LRX Air. The abrasion protection is close to leather with an Armor-Link 3 Mesh shell of ballistic polyester. CE-approved shoulder and elbow armor is designed to take the impact, along with an articulated triple-density protector for your spine.
Comfy microfiber trims the inside of the mandarin collar and cuffs. Adjustable straps on the arms and waist will ensure the proper fit and the proper armor placement. You'll have lots of ventilation and a two-stage liner to give you complete control over your relationship with the weather.
Reflective piping all around, a reflective triangle on the back, and light coloration will make you visible to anyone with eyes. The LRX Air comes in white, light blue, or pink in a full range of sizes.
