Yay!!!
I finally found a mesh jacket that looks good on me, is longer in body and I don't look like a quarterback. It's an Olympia Airglide from First Gear I think and has everything I need...pockets (lots) mesh where it counts most (armpits  ) armour in the right spots. It only comes in black or silver and I'm getting silver because it's kind of a silvery sand instead of a silver silver (ya know what I mean? I hope so) Should be able to pick it up on Saturday which means I'll wear it when I ride my Bad-ass (bright) Bevy home on Sunday!!
aaaaaaaah to feel the wind caressing me as I glide on down the road

Let us know how that jacket works out too. I ordered a Tour Master Intake Mesh and it should be here tomorrow. Can't wait. Hope the darn thing fits cause I just returned a First Gear Contour becasue of fit and thought I would try this one. If it doesn't, back it goes and I have another one in mind as long as the folks at New Enough will put up with it.

I eyed that one before I ordered the Tour Master Air Intake one. Didn't want black, too hot in the sun and makes you too hard to see. And I'm kind of tired of silver as my last jacket is silver. There are a lot of new styles coming out right now, so check the companies web sites.

The Olympia Airglide jacket has been really impressive. In the winter with both layers on and a thin underlayer, even at 35F, it was comfortable.
The other day it was 55F and is was still fine with both layers, as long as I was moving.
Yesterday it was 75F in Boulder and it was time to ride Ariel home to Nederland. My husband, such a dear, proclaimed "You are going to burn up in that jacket", so I took out the liner.
Wow! The mesh really really works! It was beautiful! In fact, it was almost chilling once I got up to the mountains there was so much airflow.

I wore my new Tour Master Intake jacket yesterday. Took out the insulated liner cause it was supposed to be in the 70's but left the windoproof one in. Worked out great. I wore a sweatshirt underneath cause it was cooler when I left and I was comfty all the way on my ride. In fact when I got about 50 miles south near the bigger inland lakes, it was actually getting colder cause of the air around those lakes which are still cold. Coming home I could probaby have taken out the other liner but decided not to bother. I can tell that the mesh will be more than airy when that time comes. I'm happy. Now I plan to get one of those new Tour Master Transition 2 jackets that just came out for fall riding.

I got the yellow Transition 2 last year and I love it! I've worn it on 30 degree mornings and I was toasty warm.
Can also see me coming a mile way when I wear it

That's exactly what I am going to get. Not sure at the moment if I want Yellow or Red. How did it fit size wise?

I have long arms, so I always have to get mens, otherwise my wrists hang out  The mens fits me great though, and has a lot of snaps so if its baggy in spots, you can always tighten it up.

That's what my Tour Master Intake jacket is, a men's and I have a perfect fit. Wore it again today when I ran to the dealers and just wore the jacket with the windproof lining over my short sleeved shirt. When they say windproof, they mean windproof. I was toasty as a bug although it was 70, but a cool 70.
