That sounds encouraging, I hope the XL is my size,

Hope it works for you Martin

We had removable liner Rev’it suits that look very similar to your Oxford jacket, they served us well and were our go-to outfits for about 10 years.

Now you’re suitably attired you can get out in whatever Summer is left

I hope so Steve, I'm not that keen on any of the colourways though, I'm hoping I'm an XL .
Summer ?, Where'd that go !!

I have an XL, 43" chest and it fits fine

Arrived today, the XL seems to fit me quite well and the arms are long which is a bonus. It’s my first mesh jacket and upon holding it up to the light I was quite shocked the amount of light coming through, this worried me slightly about protection if the worst happened but it feels well made so I ordered an Oxford level 2 back protector and my current D30 doesn’t fit.
Looking forward to trying it on the RT if it ever stops raining

Glenn, how long have you had the jacket ?, Just curious how the velcro on the cuffs is holding up ?, It's not the strongest.

I bought it in April, not had any issues with the velcro, I've used the jacket everytime I've been out since, approx 2500 - 3000 miles so
far.

It's waterproof

That's good news.

Not so good news, my D30 back protector didn’t fit so I ordered the Oxford level 2 one which arrived today, fits as should but terribly uncomfortable and seems to pull the jacket backwards which then almost throttles me around the front of my neck,

No way am I riding without aback protector in a mesh jacket so looks as if it’s all going back

Hi Glenn, out of curiosity which brand back protector are you using ?. My D30 was to big so I ordered the order level 2 but it's really not comfy and seems to sit very high.

I believe it's one of these https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorc ... rod/394098 it fits the pocket like a glove

Yep that's the one I bought, it does fit the pocket perfectly but my problem is it feels very uncomfortable. I'll see if I can find something else.

When it's to hot for the Aerostich, I wear Joe Rocket mesh jacket and pants. I have a set of Frogg Togg's "Road Toad" rain gear for when it rains. They fit easily over the mesh gear so all I have to do is stop and add. They breath pretty well too.

I know it's a bit late to join the party but Alpinestars make a 3in1 jacket, my friend purchased one earlier this year it was approx £230. It's basically a mesh jacket with removable thermal liner and removable waterproof liner, the waterproof liner can be zipped into the jacket or worn over the outside of the jacket and stored in a poachers pocket on the back when not required. The feedback I received from him was very positive, comfortable and cool in the summer and waterproof in the rain. I personally have a Kl'im mesh jacket with the extra gore-tex over jacket but this combination costs in the region of around £700 which in hindsight will not be repeated should it need to be replaced.
