Thinking of picking one up for the HOT weather. I was boiling in my regular JR when the weather was 28 and humid this week.
Anyone have one and can provide some feedback? Thanks!

I wear a JR mesh, not sure of the model, all the time. It came with a rain liner that I carry with me. If the temperature drops I put in the liner as a windbreaker. If it cools off even more I add a light sweater. If it gets colder than that I park the bike.
Hey man i got a teknic jacket thats the warmest jacket i ever worn but it also turns into a mesh summer jacket. Has full armor. Warn it 3 times it is like new condition size large. Let me know if you would be interested.
I ordered (online - should've tried it in the store first) the Phoenix 10.0 last summer and returned it due to the loose shoulder and elbow protectors. The jacket was light and comfortable but the lightness contributed to the looseness of the protectors. Those protectors will shift around in the event of a fall. I own 3 JR jackets and was disappointed with this one. However, if the new 11.0 has protectors that will sit still in their place then I will pick one up.
I'm selling the Alter Ego - Large
Check it out, i have switched to a Leather version

I bought a JR mesh used - best $50 ever. Got the rain liner for cooler weather and then throw an iCon full waterproof over it for more warmth and dry.
Great layers and good from 30 down to 8 or so.
Really like the mesh. Took it to Australia and good even in 35 degree weather and armor worked great on a couple of the zero speed falls in the mud on the forest tracks.
I'm no ATGATT rider but the mesh is so light I just throw it on as it never feels stiff or bulky.
The JR stuff seems well designed.
Hi guys, well i just bought this 11.0 jacket today at Royal and haven't gotten my bike yet to actually try it out on the road, but the elbow protectors do have three snaps to adjust tension around forearm to hold armor in place. It feels like a nice jacket but i'm still a noob.Quote:

Enjoy - - I like the fit adjustments on the JR. Did you get the liner?
How much was it at Royal?Quote:

My friend just got one, within the first week, the button snapped off when he was un-buttoning the arm part. Might be just individual jacket, otherwise, the jacket itself fits pretty nice and pretty breezy.
I paid 180 for it. I agree with the other guys to, fits great and comfortable too.Quote:
