I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to multi-day trips on the bike. I'm about to leave for a 3 day trip, and I'm likely to encounter some rain on at least one day. I have 2 jackets I can take -- please help me decide:
1. Mesh Jacket -- This jacket is great for over 65 degrees Faren. but has no water-proof layer. On my trip, even at night the lowest will be around 67 degrees and highs will be mid-80s or above.
2. Touring Jacket -- This is a 2-3 season jacket with the liner removed. It is waterproof. Has zip vents for airflow but still hotter than mesh.
Given the temps, if it wasn't likely to hit rain I'd take the mesh. I'm tempted to take it anyhow, since if I get wet the temps are still warm (I'll do most travel during the daytime). However, I wasn't sure if taking the mesh would be a noob mistake? What do you think?
