Warm & Hot Weather Riding Jackets
Designed to keep you cool and comfortable in the most extreme hot weather conditions, summer motorcycle jackets are available in leather, textile and mesh options. Summer motorcycle riding jackets are vented to flow plenty of air, keeping your body temperature regulated on scorching rides. Mesh motorcycle jackets are the lightest and use extensive mesh paneling coupled with textile zones provides abrasion resistance and superior airflow. Leather summer motorcycle jackets will feature significant perforation and ventilation schemes to keep the air flowing on hot rides. Some leathers designed as summer motorcycle jackets even have a mix of leather and lightweight mesh for the ultimate in hot weather riding protection. With CE rated armor and reinforcements in impact areas, summer motorcycle jackets are the perfect marriage of airflow and protective elements for hot weather riding.

A summer motorcycle jacket is typically made from "mesh" or perforated textiles. These materials are designed to flow a massive amount of air, keeping you cool while you're moving. All the key impact areas (like the elbows and shoulders) are still made of a stronger, solid textile to hold the armor in place and resist abrasion.
Are mesh jackets really protective?
Yes, a good mesh jacket is very protective. While it feels light and airy, it has a "skeleton" of strong textile (like 600D polyester) and comes with the same CE-rated shoulder and elbow armor as any other jacket. It's designed to protect you from an impact and a slide, but it's way more comfortable in the heat. Learn more about CE safety ratings here.
What happens if it rains in my mesh jacket?
If it rains, you are going to get wet immediately. Mesh jackets are basically 90% holes, so they offer zero waterproofing. Many mesh jackets do come with a removable waterproof liner, which you can zip in when the weather turns. If not, it's smart to keep a small, packable rain suit under your seat.
Is a perforated leather jacket a good summer option?
A perforated leather jacket is a fantastic summer option, especially for sport riders. It gives you the high-level slide protection of leather but with thousands of tiny holes (perforations) that flow air as you ride. It won't be quite as cool as a full-mesh jacket at a stoplight, but it's the best of both worlds for protection and airflow.
