Hello, I am looking for a protective jacket to wear in summertime (very light) riding trails or the street. I am new to dualsport and my first jacket is too warm.

I like this one in fall but not on hot days! This is what I have: https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Dualsport-Motorbike-Breathable-WATERPROOF/dp/B075YVSTX1/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=summer+Dual+Sport+Jacket&qid=1592437452&sr=8-1

It is too warm even with liner removed...... Any Ideas? I am on a budget.....
Thanks!!

Hi guys, I've got another question for you. I bought this body armor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075K9KVVC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

* While wearing this and riding trails at speeds say 35mph and slower on a HOT summer day would one wear a (summer motorcycle jacket) OR some (sort of long sleeve protective T-shirt)? What would be my options? I road dirtbike 20 years ago with just a helmet and nothing else so all this protective gear is new to me!!!!!

Thanks! Trying to get set up for summer but running behind!

I started using an Icon Mesh AFCE jacket. Not the best armor of my jacket collection but certainly the best air flow. I think it's cooler riding in the hot sun with it than in a tshirt (at least as long as you're moving). They could have done the cuffs a bit better (they used zippers). No inner lining or pocket.
Oh, and don't buy a black hot weather jacket  :nono:    My Icon is silver.

Thanks on2wheels52, I ordered a few options. I decided to go with a Mesh Grey Fieldsheer Jacket for hot days and a Klim lite Jersey.

Now I am after pants. I am looking at good options for trail riding and on the street for hot days. So far I have these pants: Not sure how well they will work? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NA0OZ3S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1



THanks!!!
