    Full Blown Mesh Jacket Recommendations

    I need another mesh jacket as in a jacket that lets the maximum amount of air flow and still has CE armor. I will be wearing a turtle shell armor vest underneath it anyways, but one that has removable armor in the shoulders, back, and elbows would be the best so I can throw it in the wash machine.

    I can't seem to find one online in a size medium.

    The new Icon Hooligan looks like it flows a lot of air and it's super cheap. Just can't seem to figure out the colors.

    I am glad to see that the mesh jackets pricing is coming down. Boy, they were expensive years ago. Grant is right - Joe Rocket has some good products at very reasonable prices now. N_N is right if you want versatility Happy Hunting

    I have this one: Joe Rocket Velocity.
    I like it quite a bit, and it doesn't show any wear from lowsiding at 10 MPH last year.

    I have 2 Scorpion Hat Trick jackets. It has 2 removable liners (wind/waterproof and thermal). Both times I found it on sale for only $99.
