| I have a Cortech GX Air jacket with inside liner and rain liner I just picked up. I am surprised on how many riders I see without any protection (no helmet, jacket, boots) I need to pick up a good pair of boots to wear while I ride. Any suggestions? |

| I was getting in a bad habit of not wearing a jacket on hot days, so I bought a FirstGear Mesh-Tex 3.0. I can't believe how much air flows through this jacket. I got a Silver one hoping it would not absorb as much heat.

| Just in the process of buying me new bike. Should be edlivered today!! The guy at the dealer suggested Joe Rocket "Alter Ego" jackets for us because of their flexibiity - can zip out all sortsa of panels to allow air flow, has rain liner, when zipped up seems fairly warm for cooler days. At the same time, arms, back, etc have protective elements. Anybody else have or know of this model jacket? Wondering if we were steered right by the saleman (got a good price on same with the bike purchase). Keith |

| Krow My Tourmaster Intake has a rain liner and an insulated liner that has taken me down to 18%. While my eyeballs started to freeze I was fine. They all come out for the hot days. |

| Not as much as I should. I've got a leather jacket, forget the brand, for winter time and a Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh for the summer. I wish I'd worn the Phoenix on my last trip to OKC, got a nasty sunburn while trying to look cool. Thankfully I took a long-sleeve shirt and my full-face helmet with me on the trip, so I could cover up on the way back. Otherwise I'd look like a tomato right now.

| Olympia AirGlide 2 mesh tech with liner has worked for most touring. I have a Cortech Coaster Air leather jacket with liner that is much heavier. It looks much cooler, but is too hot in summer. Great for evening cruising. Both are CE armored.
