The most air flow.
I have worn many jackets from leather, to textile, to mesh. I am looking to possible upgrade to the Dainese Avro textile. I have a Teknic Supervent Pro that is wonderful. But here is the deal...NOTHING flows air like this Joe Rocket Phoenix. Here in Texas it gets so hot, just wearing a jacket can be brutal. As the temps are starting to climb quickly again, I remember how much this jacket helps...it flows enough air to actually make you not hate wearing a jacket in those temps. The fit is fine for me, I'm 6'4", 230 and wear an XL. The only problem I've had with the jacket is that it now has a hole in the bottom of each of the main pockets. Not sure what I had in there that would cause a hole, but they are there. This would not be my first choice by any means for normal to even semi-hot weather, but when the scorching Texas sun is in all of its glory in the summer, this is what I will be reaching for!

Great affordable summer jacket.
This is a great affordable summer jacket. It flows air great. I've only used in in up to 85 degree weather, but I look forward to wearing it all summer. I haven't tried it with the rain liner in the rain yet so I can't speak on that. Also,t his jacket runs big so it's great for the big guys. Unfortunately you can only get black in the 4 and 5x. Other than that, great product.

Great warm weather jacket
I already have a good leather jacket that is great for cold weather, but I needed something for warm and hot days. I often don't wear my leather when it gets too hot because I fear I may sweat to death in it. So, I did a bunch of research on lightweight textile and mesh jackets. Looked at Icon and Alpinestars selections; very nice but more than I wanted to pay. This jacket seemed to fulfill what I was looking for: removable liner, some armor padding, yellow and black to match my yellow and black bike, good quality materials and construction. Other reviews were all positive, I talked to someone at Revzilla customer service about the quality and fit (wish I remember his name, he was great, Joel? Jared? Something like that...) and I was assured that it is a good jacket that is true to the size chart. So, I popped on this jacket. I'm 5'10", weigh about 220 with a 48" chest and the XL fits perfect. Plus I look bad in it while riding my VMax.
Cool features: high quality zippers, easily removable and replaceable liner, inner pocket for my cell phone, key chain hook just inside the zipper, adjustable cuffs and waist, snaps to tighten the sleeves so they don't flap in the 100+mph wind (VMax remember!).
Just a good jacket that is great for warm to hot weather that you'll look good in. Cuz let's be honest, 1/2 of riding a bike is looking good!

Fantastic summer jacket with great features and fit!!!!
Okay, so I drive a scooter in Texas. Needless to say, it gets stupid hot here. I was a bit nervous about the airflow seeing as how I'm not cruising on the highway. Man does this jacket work! I was blown away (no pun intended) by how well it vents. I ordered the hi-visibility green and I am glad I did. Because I drive a scooter, it isn't very big or loud. This jacket has kept people from pulling out in front of me more than once.
The pads do shift some, but once you get them in place they're great. The fit is nice too. I'm 6'2 about 235 and the 2XL is perfect with the liner in. It's a tad big without the liner, but not enough to really notice.
If the pants are half as good as the jacket, I want them too!!!

Great Jacket!
I just got this jacket, and it is great! The air-flow is great and design is perfect. What I think that they missed in description is the rib padding, and tailbone pad. I didn't expect that, but it is nice add-on's. The jacket runs a little large, but has the sizing straps at the bottom so it's really not a big deal. If you're a big guy, this jacket will be a nice change it that it fit everywhere...!

This jacket breathes well in warm weather
This jacket fits great, the sizing chart was right on. It flows a lot of air, breathes well even in stop and go traffic. Great jacket for here in Hawaii.

Great jacket for warm weather
This is a very reasonably priced jacket, perfect for both warm weather and protection. It has a removable inner liner, which would be perfect for spring and fall. It also has removable armour. Once removed, the jacket's mesh allows great airflow for the hottest days. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, 5 stars!
