|  Leather or Textile jackets??
Been looking for a jacket to ride with. I don't need one for winter riding, I have a heavy leather bomber's jacket for that, but will probably keep the bike in the garage on COLD days. Below are some jackets I looked at and looks like the TourMaster GX Air Jacket seem like a nice item. I'm leaning towards these textile jackets instead of leather since I ride mostly in the warmer months and not winter. Any inputs will be appreciated...... thanks dan FirstGear Mesh Tex jacket. Mesh nylon shell, Perforated EVA shoulder and elbow armor with EVA foam back pad. Perforated nylon lining. Hand warmer pockets and inside wallet pocket. Adjustable sleeve cuffs and adjustable waist. About $130. Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket. Mesh nylon shell, Perforated EVA shoulder and elbow armor with EVA foam back pad. Perforated nylon lining. Hand warmer pockets and inside wallet pocket.
