[QUOTE="nusman68, post: 7554, member: 452"] I also ride with a Joe Rocket Phoenix 3.0 jacket; if you're already wearing a Phoenix (which is all mesh) another way to cool it down (besides what you already read previously) is to remove the back armor; obviously this would lessen the protection capability. Also try an UnderArmor 'heat guard' T-shirt under the jacket...best $25.00 you'll spend...really works.. provides evaporative cooling for the perspiration... Over the years I've read some 'real world' results on the 'net concerning how they work in a crash...all the riders had great things to say about how well the jacket held up and protected them. The one problem: be sure to fasten the snaps on the sleeves, or else they might 'slide up' in a crash and expose your forearms to the pavement. Cost wise: To get a killer deal, look for closeouts when the style changes (again); I bought my wife a 3.0 Phoenix for $49.00 locally at Cyclegear in Houston; they also have a website....but better try one on somewhere first even if you decide to mail order it...the womens jackets all run small, per the wife......
