What kind of riding jacket for summer?
So yesterday was kinda hot when I went riding, especially with a backpack, but today SHEEEEEET it was around 95 or so and retarded hot. i won't ride without my jacket no matter how hot it is (unlike a few years ago where i'd only wear a jacket if it was cold), but my jacket is just too heavy for the weather that's ahead of me as summer approaches. what do you guys wear that's nice and lightweight, but has good protection?

I have a Joe Rocket textile that has zip off sleeves that is pretty cool, It is much cooler than my leather, but still pretty hot. On real hot days I wear the Icon field armor, which is like a vest of sorts for some torso protection. Really doesnt do much for the arms though.

i don't want to trump anyones answer but even up here in Canada the summers are fkn hot, 30C+. I refuse to wear textile. Nothing protects like leather and inserts. It may be heavier but most good jackets have vents in non-contact areas. Not to be a preacher but better safer than roadrash. I own both but never wear the Joe rocket textile i got with my CBR. If you're riding and not stop-and-starting (aka posing), leather isn't that bad.
