The 10 Best Mesh Motorcycle Jackets

The Viking Cycle Warlock (about $64) has a convenient compartment for everything you need to carry with you, and it even has an interior pocket capable of holding a ten-inch tablet. There's padding all along your torso, including a spine pad that can be removed for added cooling.

You'll look like a motocross racer in the Joe Rocket UFO 2.0 (appx. $160), letting it pair well with off-road bikes.. Your skin will be well-protected, thanks to the abrasion-resistant textile on the shell, so you'll, hopefully, be fine if you venture off the beaten path.

The bright yellow Xelement CF6019 Invasion (appx. $90) is hard to miss on the road, which means other drivers will see you clearly. If someone does bump into you, however, it's armor provides high impact absorption, giving you a chance of walking away unharmed.

The Viking Cycle Ironside (about $59) is perfect for anyone who likes to listen to some tunes while cruising down the highway. There's a chest pocket for your phone that lets you get to it in under three seconds, and a convenient system for snaking ear buds to your head.

While the Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 (appx. $159) can certainly keep you cool, it's also suitable for wearing once the mercury starts to drop as well. There are two outside hand warmer pockets to help your mitts stay toasty, as well as a removable liner to hold the wind at bay.

The Pilot Motosport Direct Air (about $140) has a RedTab Visibility System that makes the pockets and attachment points easy to find in low light, so you won't have to fumble for your keys outside your door on a moonless night — or struggle to get it off in a dark bedroom.

The Joe Rocket Cleo 2.2 (about $167) is attractive enough to wear out on the weekends, even if you don't go to the club on a bike. The 9-point SureFit custom adjustment system enables it to accommodate your ensemble, regardless of whether you're wearing a sweater or a tank top.

There's plenty of stretch in the arms and shoulders of the HHR HWK (around $50), giving you full range-of-motion and flexibility both on and off your bike. The collar closes with Velcro, so if you get caught in a dust storm, you can prevent it from getting inside your coat.

The Bilt Techno (appx. $120) boasts zip-entry front pockets, allowing ladies to keep their keys, phone, or other accessories securely fastened during even the bumpiest of rides. The 600-denier material on the body ensures you are somewhat shielded from potential grazes and road rash.

As the name suggests, the Sedici Alexi 3 Season (about $160) is the perfect addition to your riding wardrobe for 75% of the year. It's not suitable for blizzards in the dead of winter, but you should stay comfortable and cool the rest of the time.
