Had it in black. Wind keeps you cool in the summer. Protected my joints well.

I was just admiring that coat at the M/C show (Mpls) this evening. Looks like it's going to be my next summer coat.

I like it and may buy one myself. Looks like it will work in most conditions with the liners.

I have had a Intake for two years. It has proved to be a versatile 3 season jacket for me. It is a well constructed piece of gear. Liners in, liners out, it works from the 30's to 100 degrees. I bought a silver/black one and the only beef I have with it is that the sun has faded the black somewhat but that also shows I wear it alot. The velcro and zippers have held up to long use - and you will use the zippers and snaps.

I have the tourmaster draft thru, as well as a first gear mesh-tec 2. both are comfortable and cool in the summer

I've got one in blue and love it. Mesh to keep cool when its hot. Aqua liner works real well in the rain and thermal liner works for me down to lower 50's. I really like the hard shell armour an opposed to just foam too.

I have the Cortech by Tour Master GX Air Mesh Jacket (http://www.newenough.com/protective_apparel/mesh_jackets_and_pants/cortech_by_tour_master/gx_air_mesh_motorcycle_jacket.html). I think the leather placement provides better protection. IMHO

Had one, loved it!

I don't think you'd be disappointed.

Bought the Cortech for myself and the Tour Master for my wife. Both are a good choice but the Cortech with the leather panels just feels a little better constructed IMO. In Florida, this is about the only choice for protection and breathabilty. Couldn't think of a better system and I would for SURE by them again. The liners are great and well made.

Good Luck!:D

Thanks for the great info everyone.

Think I will go with the Cortech GX. Bill and Winged STer's input about the leather giving better protection around the shoulders, back and elbows makes a lot of sense.
