Yamaha Blaze Mesh Jacket - Street Freedom Jacket

[Long Tall]

Does anyone have either of these? I prefer the lighter weight for summer (have been using my Triumph Summer Jacket) and layer underneath...

 

Have looked at First Gear, Tour Master, Aerostich,....I know this is a personal thing, but have grown accustom to the textile....If anyone has either of these Yamaha jackets, let me know...would like to know comfortability of each while riding..

 

Thanks.

I have the Street Freedom but bought it during this winter and have only been able to use it one time. I really like it though. The quality is good and it is very comfortable.

 

By the way, check out my thread from when I bought it. You might find a good deal on Ebay. I bought mine on Ebay for $50.00 plus $15.00 shipping. Brand new...still had the tags on it.

I haven't tried that one at all. I did buy a Mossi mesh jacket. I wrote a review here. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=205

 

I had been a pure leather junkie, but that stuff gets dang hot in the summer. This new generation a ballistic nylon mesh with padding and armor just make way too much sense. Jacket fit is such a personal thing for me that I had to try them all on before I bought one. Luckily we have a very good motorcycle shop, Bob's Cycle (http://www.bobscycle.com), that has darn near ever brand and size in stock.
