DILLIGAD Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Loads of options for mesh jackets here but what's a 'tropical mesh jacket?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Pineapple flavour , or made from coconut husk . He means a well vented jacket. Rev - it do some good gear. Good selection available at most good bike accesory stores. Edited April 8, 2016 by ktm jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taninthai Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 when the temperature is like its been for the last 6 weeks 36,37&38 degrees you still get hot and sweaty in them.....thats my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 A lighter color may help , white / grey , but the vents only really flow air when your moving. My KTM enduro jacket ( from England ) has vent zips , but if your in the sun , your getting hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisfeld Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I too have a Revit mesh jacket. Fine airflow while moving. White does get a little bit less hot but I'd suggest trying to get something that isn't white around the collar or it'll get visibly dirty very quickly from touching the helmet in my experience with my GT-R Air. http://www.pandarider.com/Revit/RevitProductsTextileJackets.html Edited April 8, 2016 by eisfeld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I see some people use umbrellas while riding. That seems pretty tropical. Edited April 8, 2016 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 This was posted on the Kamix Shop FB page (Kamixshop) last night- they're discounting last year's Alpinestars stock of mesh and textile jackets. Supplies and sizes are limited, but there's likely something left that will fit you if you move quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
