Try this?

I'm bought one about 6 weeks ago and use it through all sorts of weather, sun, yes we get some in Scotland :lol rain etc
A bargain at £80 delivered but wish I went for a size larger although even with all the lignings it sits neat but that's the only criticism I have on it, great jacket in my opinion. Wink

I find a buff essential in this weather to stop bees and wasps hitting my neck and dropping down my front, angry.

Sat on a sun lounger in Turkey. And it's too bloody hot. I've tried killing the heat with lager and it's not working. I'm open to suggestions

Ive found that wearing a Crusader T-shirt at all times (especially out n about) worked wonders. Let us know how you get on

Something like this

Im gonna take no advice from someone who thinks its a good idea to go to Turkey for a holiday.
The larger to cool off is the correct way its just the quantity that you are getting wrong

Re: Not raining but its too hot now - TOADY - 23-07-16

I'm in marmaris, no military presence and all is good. Seems like all was over exaggerated about the coup. Most people are saying all was back to normal by Sunday.

Re: Not raining but its too hot now - fazersharp - 31-07-16

So went to bikers world today for the Midlands meet up (which I missed ) and tried on a few textiles Air mesh and stuff but I found that once I had taken out the waterproof and thermal liner for summer use that the elbow protection would twist around my arm and I feel that in an off they would twist around out of position and all I would be left with is the textile. Tride amoungs others Richa Air Stream and RST pro series ventilator

But I did try on the body armer shirt that the moto x boys use and that fitted me ok and had loads of adjustments for a snug fit this one http://www.bikersworldstore.co.uk/brands/brand-fox/armour-fox/fox-mx16-titan-sport-long-sleeve-jacket.html but I dont want to wear the loose shirt over it but what would I put on top, maybe a cheap textile that has no armer but has vents but by the time I have brought two seperate items I could of brought this - Furygan speed mesh 3d http://www.bikersworldstore.co.uk/furygan-speed-mesh-3d-leather-jacket.html

Re: Not raining but its too hot now - Grahamm - 01-08-16

Well you've probably got until next year to make a decision now... Sad

Re: Not raining but its too hot now - Millietant - 02-08-16

I'd defo give that Furygan jacket a try.

My son wears his Arlen Ness "Titanium" one piece leathers in all weather - but the front leather is all perforated and he reckons it's not too bad even on our hottest days here. Mind you, for the amount they cost me, he'd better not wear anything else when I'm around.

Mostly in the warm weather I wear my "off road" armour, over a really light breathable tee shirt and under my Teknic textile jacket, which has had the waterproof liner, the quilted liner and all of the armour taken out. Despite this, the jacket has still kept me dry over the last 3 or 4 weeks when I've been caught in some pretty heavy downpours coming up from Salibury to the Midlands.

Think the furygan may be a bit expensive at £269. That fox armer I tried on was actually a very good fit for me, so that and a textile over may work. The fox armer is over a mesh shirt thing but I find that a surfers rash vest very good under my leathers one with turtle neck.

One question on that off road armer is how would it stand up to a road crash at speed sliding along as opposed to bouncing off trees like it is made for.
Which model is your teknic jacket

Am out down the coast as I post this and am getting a lovely sea breeze through the mesh. Still wearing my leather trousers, boots and gloves but it certainly helps keeping your core temperature down.

Just reread your post - forgot you said it first.

Re: Not raining but its too hot now - Millietant - 02-08-16

Not sure which model any more, but it's the one I'm wearing in this pic below (the black "belt" is nothing to do with the jacket, is a "pillion pal" that my little niece was using). The armour I wear is in the pic below that (I think it's GP Pro stuff) - not tried crashing in it yet, but overall it seems far better than the original armour that any of our textile jackets have come with (including Alpine Stars, RST, Richa, Arlen Ness and Joe Rocket) and the mesh jacket certainly keeps it in the right places.

Re: Not raining but its too hot now - fazersharp - 02-08-16

Thanks
As I will be doing as you and dumping the waterproof liner and thermal liner and armer I am looking for a textile that dosent come with them and so hopfuly cheaper but one that still comes with vents and mesh but more protection that a teeshirt over the body armer

Re: Not raining but its too hot now - Millietant - 03-08-16

I've got a Fox textile that came without those (it's waterproof anyway), but I like having all the pockets that the Teknic has. The textile ones I've found that don't have all the removable linings are all pretty basic, with no inside pocket and generally no outside pockets either - I am an old fart, but I like to have somewhere handy for keys, phones, coins, spare ear plugs etc.

I am with you 100% on that one.
