So it's warming up in the south and I am finding my all season tourmaster is not gonna be the ticket once it gets over 75 or 80. I am thinking I will need to go with just a mesh jacket, but not sure, I have never been a ATGATT rider but after hitting the deer and only having on blue jeans, boots, a leather jacket and 3/4 open face I see the value in a little protection. I got away some minor road rash on my left hand and scuff on my right knee and a couple broke ribs, did more rolling than sliding. Anyway point is I would like to have some abrasion resistance, I am hard headed so prolly still just wear jeans and boots, but really want to have a jacket too.
I am in Mississippi so summers are hot and humid I ride mostly in the morning and late afternoon since I am a daily motorcycle commuter so want something that flows lots of air. I will use it in June when I take my big trip but will also have my tourmaster 4 season for when I get up north and into Alaska. Just looking for experience and suggestions on what the southern riders have used and had good luck with.
