Today, I picked up one of these, in this bright yellow color. Fits me good, and seems very well made. As it should be for $200. With both liners out, I could see getting warm at a stop light, but having no issues once moving. Throw in just the waterproof liner, and be fine for the cooler mornings. Throw in the second liner, feels like it would be good for even cooler rides. Enough room to let out the waist straps, and throw the jacket on over the top of a hoodie for all but the coldest of rides. Once I wear it in a little rain and some cooler mornings, I'll check back and let yall know how it worked out for me.
This is my first motorcycle jacket other than my old leather jacket. Just so yall know.

Was about 90 and ultra muggy today, went to the store to pick some stuff up. Sitting still, was a little warm, but not horrible. About what I expected. After all, I'm wearing a flippin jacket, even if it is mesh. Not to mention, I'm sitting on a hot bike wearing full gear.
But once I was moving, it was almost like wearing nothing. So very nice. Shoulder and elbow pads seem to fit well in riding position. Got up to about 70, and there wasn't any flapping of the jacket, which surprised me. I thought for sure there would've been some. All pockets are pretty roomy. Big enough to fit anything in there I might want to. 7 pockets total. 2 hand warmer, 3 map pockets on chest, and 3 inside. 2 on the left stomach area, and 1 larger on the right, which is big enough to fit a couple movies from red box.
Ignore the face. I was trying to instruct the wife what I was looking for picture wise, and keeping kids out of the way. As you can see, I only partially succeeded with the second part.

Chest map pockets.

Back. You can see the spine pad, and that there's plenty of retro, front, rear, and side.

Bout as good as I could get of the mesh. It's like that throughout the whole jacket, with the exception of the padded areas, obviously.

Forgot to take pictures of the liners, but you're not missing anything.
One is a waterproof liner. Thin, with same inside pockets as the shell. Second liner is a little bit thicker for more warmth, also with same 3 inside pockets.
