I got this jacket a couple of months ago and held off on reviewing it until I could test it in warmer weather. Near 100 this weekend so that's close enough.

I have two mesh jackets but they got too big for me and I wanted something a little different so after a bit of research ordered this jacket.

The fit is very good, and construction is what you would expect from Cortech, that is, great.

The quilted liner kept me warm in temps to the low 40s and would probably be good into the thirties. It has plenty of pocket space and the pockets in the liner match those in the shell so you don't lose any accessibility whether the liner is out or in.

For warm weather I was a bit concerned because of the denim used but that concern was for naught! Plenty of vents, a mesh lining and while moving the air flows through very well keeping me comfortable. The collar padding is tops and doesn't chafe at all.

It will probably get warm sitting at stop lights this summer when the temps hit hundred and teens but it may just be cooler be keeping the sun off my skin as well as, if not better than mesh. I'll find out in July.

One thing that may be a disadvantage is that the outside pockets are also some of the vent openings so you can't really carry anything in them that you don't want to chance losing unless you close them and lose some of the ventilation.

There is plenty of inside pocket space that stays secure.

I've had this jacket for several years now, a good three season jacket that just misses out on the coldest and hottest days. I suspect that if the humidity wasn't so high in this region during the summer that it might work all summer since its well vented.

I have this jacket too. I had mine for 3 or 4 years. Its held up well and It's pretty comfortable most time. We have high humidity too and it can be a bit much for 90 plus days. But over all I think its a good coat for the money. I wear mine more than my leather or mesh jackets.
