It's that time of year in the mid-Atlantic. Hot and humid. I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm really a ATGATT guy, but I don't ride without a jacket of some sort with armor. That means uncomfortably hot typically.

I'm usually not a sucker for ads that get served up while I'm online, but I ended up going for this:

Highly recommended. The mesh is highly breathable, the armor is decent and all-in-all seems like a good compromise.

On my way home from the Tail of the Dragon yesterday we saw a couple of guys riding in non-vented jackets that would have been about right in 50 degrees. But it was 90!
I'd like to be an ATGATT kinda guy, but.... NO WAY! I've got a couple of mesh jackets with armor and I try to use them when it gets toasty out there. But I WILL leave the jackets in the locker when it gets this hot!
 
Klim Marrakech jacket is great in hot weather and still offers a ton of protection. Great cut and extremely comfortable.

Klim Marrakesh Jacket

The Klim Marrakesh Jacket forgoes a waterproof membrane in exchange for comfort and ventilation in warmer riding conditions. Stretch woven material flows air, but still protects against abrasion with 1000D Cordura fabric. D3O CE level 1 armor at the elbow
