A jacket with mesh panels that allow airflow. It prevents riding unprotected in summer.
What to look for when buying Summer (mesh) jacket?

- A back protector pocket; if possible a Level 2 pad
- EN 17092 class on the fabric (A, AA, AAA)

FAQ
Does a summer mesh jacket protect in a crash?
Quality mesh jackets use stronger fabric or leather at the shoulders and elbows, where abrasion is greatest, and come with CE protectors. When buying, look at the EN 17092 class on the label. Class A gives basic protection for city use, and class AA offers higher abrasion resistance.
Is it more comfortable to ride in a T-shirt than to wear a jacket in the heat?
Bare skin in the sun burns and sweats quickly, whereas a mesh jacket cools you by letting wind through and evaporating sweat. In a fall, asphalt friction seriously injures the skin. For this reason, even above 35°C, a ventilated summer jacket should be preferred.
What do you do about rain with a summer jacket?
Most mesh jackets are not waterproof. Some models come with a separate rain liner that fits inside. For sudden summer showers, carrying a compact over-jacket rain suit in your bag is the most practical solution.
