Introduction With the Summer of 2021 fast approaching (or already here depending on my publish date), I found myself looking...
Every riding enthusiast appreciates versatile motorcycle gear. When I reviewed the Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar Adventure Tourer jacket through the...
Despite the love I have for my REV’IT! Arc Air mesh jacket, I soon learned through the month of July that even a “warm weather” jacket could get suffocatingly hot when a heatwave decides to arrive. It was just through sheer timing, then, that REV’IT! asked webBikeWorld if there was...
Very good quality open weave mesh jacket with hefty-feeling armor and excellent air flow. Mesh motorcycle clothing has evolved dramatically...
This is the third in our series of reviews featuring Alpinestars mesh motorcycle clothing. First up was the Alpinestars T-Stunt 2 mesh...
It must be summer in the Northern Hemisphere. How can we tell? The volume of email requesting reviews of mesh jackets and other hot-weather riding apparel has been on the rise. Just for the record, we’ve reviewed tons of hot weather motorcycle riding apparel over the years. So if you’re looking to...
The Dainese Air Frame jacket is also new for 2012. The Air Frame is a lighter-weight motorcycle jacket designed to...
I was hoping to get this review out of the way several weeks ago, back when the weather was at...
It doesn’t get much cooler than this. The Firstgear Hypertex Mesh II jacket has excellent air flow. The pants aren’t quite as cool if you’re riding behind a fairing however. Both the jacket and pants are very comfortable. The jacket runs true to size; the pants seem a touch short....
Finer mesh than some competitors provides better fit. Nice styling and very good air flow keeps you cool on the...
The Icon Hooligan 54 is a fun — even a little flashy — women’s mesh jacket for hot days on...
You have to give a lot of credit to Icon. After all, they busted in to a market jam-packed with motorcycle clothing brands from A to Z and beyond. Yet they’ve managed to mix it up pretty nicely. Icon sort of just appeared out of nowhere a couple of years ago with...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh outfit is reasonably priced. The jacket fits well and it flows a lot of air....
The Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 jacket is, as its name implies, the fifth generation of what was once a ground-breaking...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix Ion Jacket is a variant of the long-running and ever-popular Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh jacket (review). Our feeling is that there’s not all that much difference between the standard Phoenix jacket and the Phoenix Ion version. There is one thing though: the “INNOLITE” reflective coating on the...
I’ll take a wild guess and say that something like 97% of motorcycling is done in fine weather. So one...
A hot weather jacket that is a happy medium between keeping you cool and keeping you protected. Beating the heat....
have become very popular in the few years that they’ve been on the market, and with good reason. They’re a very welcome solution to hot-weather riding for those of us who like to have more than Fruit of the Loom between skin and asphalt. Motorcycle clothing manufacturers have been hard...
Can there ever be too many choices for warm weather clothing? I’m not sure if the “perfect” mesh combo exists...
Potential for motorcycle riders not quite realized. Back in the old days, automobiles didn’t have seat belts or padded dashboards,...
Being that I live in a very warm climate, I was eager to test any jacket that offered good ventilation as well as solid protection. And the added benefit of the Motonation Metralla being designed for a woman was an added bonus that doesn’t come along very often. I ride...
The Pilot Direct Air jacket is good-looking, nicely made and comes in a variety of color combinations. It’s a hybrid mesh/textile...
The Direct Air Jacket V3 combines free-flowing mesh material with solid textiles in the impact zones. This makes the jacket...
Like the Pilot Visto Air high-visibility jacket I reviewedrecently, the even simpler Pilot Slate Air jacket works as advertised. It is a comfortable and well-made mesh-based high-air-flow garment and costs just $99.99. Large sections of “Pilotex” micro-mesh fabric provide the ventilation. Strong and durable sections of 600 denier textile with CE-rated...
We’d like to thank the RevZilla team for providing this REAX Apex Pro jacket at no-cost for the purpose of...
The Rev’it Air jacket is new for 2008. It’s designed for hot weather riding and it offers sophisticated styling with...
Summer weather is just around the corner in this part of the world, meaning that it’s a good time to take a look at the latest in mesh motorcycle apparel for 2006. Mesh motorcycle apparel has only been available for about 3 years or so, and each year seems to bring...
I have long admired REV’IT!’s ability to combine a high degree of technical specification with modern style – clean, slim...

The new Spidi Ventamax mesh jacket is a summer version of the Spidi Multiwinter H2Out jacket. Both have what we call a 5/8 length. It’s slightly longer than your typical short mesh jacket but not quite 3/4-length. Goldilocks would like it — not too short, not too long, but just right! Spidi calls this...
The Teiz Motorsports Sahara jacket is a comfortable, functional garment. It served me well throughout the entire 15 days of the...
The Tourmaster Intake Air Series 2 is one of several Tourmaster jackets that have similar design features. It is available in...
