Finally broke down and bought a mesh jacket. I went with a Fieldsheer "Cool Cruise" jacket from the MotorcycleSuperstore.com. They price matched the close-out price at Competitoin Accessorires ($77.95) and offered free-shipping. This jacket comes with a zip-out, full sleeve rain liner, most of the other lower-price jackets didn't offer that option. The armor pieces were pretty generic, so I swapped them out with a set of molded inserts from another jacket. They run pretty large. I typically wear an XL, but Large in this jacket fits well. It's not a real sophisticated jacket, but flows are nicely, which is what I need in these few hot summer months. I see it getting a lot of use. I went with the silver/black.
