Are you in marketing looking for an excellent Motorcycle Mesh Jacket? Or maybe just researching what choices are available in mesh jackets for riders? You have reached the right place!
We assume that you have already crossed out Cordura or Leather Jackets from your list. You are likely considering a mesh riding jacket because you love the freedom of riding and want all the fresh air around you to keep you cool.
Most important consideration when buying a mesh jacket is what material is exactly the shell made of. Most common types used today in market are:

1. Polyester Mesh
2. Nylon Mesh
3. Poly or Nylon Mesh with Leather
4. Poly or Nylon Mesh with Cordura


1. Polyester Mesh is thick yet very light weight. It is ideal for riders who want a extremely light weight jacket with decent protection. One such example is Jackets4Bikes ‘s Air Mesh Jacket made of poly mesh it is available for only $60. We offer built in extra EVA padding around shoulder and back to re-enforce polyester mesh in our jackets.

2. Nylon Mesh is heavier but it offers better abrasion resistance. When the extra weight is worth it is a choice of personal preference. Jackets4Bikes offers a nylon and leather hybrid jacket (more details coming next on this).

3.  Poly or Nylon Mesh with Leather is another choice getting popular these days. Nothing beat leather in abrasion resistance – by blending leather and nylon mesh pieces manufacturers can offer ideal combination with good abrasion resistance and great air flow. Jackets4Bikes jacket not only sells these jackets – in fact they come with added feature of 360 degree reflective tape around chest.

4. Poly or Nylon Mesh with Cordura offer advantages similar to leather and mesh jacket. Most manufacturers use this combination to cut cost.

Other things to consider are what type of liner is used in the jacket, what type of protectors are used in the jacket and what are additional features available (e.g. is there extra protection in form of back hump, is there reflective tape or piping used etc.).  We invite you to visit our eBay store Jactes4Bikes at http://stores.ebay.com/Jackets-4-Bikes  we offer mesh jackets in several colors and designs. We also offer unique mesh kevlar gloves.

Please feel free to contact us with your details suggestions or recommendations for improvement.
