I loved the Kili air but they no longer make it. I now use a Hein G. Timbuktu(below) in camouflage. Its fine but not quite as good as the Kili air IMHO. In any case, looking for a new jacket again and needed some ideas. Prefer mesh as I live in the desert.
Thanks

I just bought an Olympia Airglide II, in the Hyper-lime color. It's obnoxiously bright (which is exactly why I bought it--if I go over a cliff, I want the Search & Rescue helicopter to find me quickly), and very comfy. It comes with a zip-out liner, and sells for $219. You can find them at most BMW stealerships.
 
Olympia has also just come out with a one-piece mesh suit with optional hi-viz yellow panels. About $289 at my local BMW STealer.

I have the Olympia Patton jacket in hi-viz red, comes with zip-out liner which can be worn separately as a windbreaker.
 
I have a Kili Air for sale size XL Tall Yellow/Black $150 used for 1 summer
PM me if your intrested.

Thanks,
 
Olympia Jacket for me. I love it. Zip in liner with some insulation. Great air flow and highly visible. Bought the riding pants too, since they are the only ones I could find with a complete zip out liner and they also have good air flow. An absolute necessity in Texas summers.

+1 on the Olympia Airglide. The Neon bright is fantastic. My wife could see me more than a mile ahead of her, but she could barely make out my fellow rider.

How about...Leather???

I have one of these:

If I need more visibility, I wear my reflective baby-poop-green safety vest over it. I LOVE this jacket. It is supple and comfortable, well vented, with a zip-out liner. Absolutely impeccable American craftsmanship; the last leather jacket I will ever buy, most likely, unless I get fat again, which ain't happenin'!!:cool: I have worn it over a T-shirt in 100-degree weather and stayed comfy and not too sweaty.

Not saying I wasn't sweatin' at all...but as Dante's Dame says, "I'd rather sweat than bleed."
 
Great foto, Clair! I've heard of "road sofas" but this is the first "road recliner" I've seen. How do you get your toes around the clutch lever? :rolleyes:

Check out the Olympia gear. I've replaced my old Aerostich with their AST.
 
Hi all,
I'm considering an Men?s Airglide 2 Mesh Tech Jacket and have a question. Has anyone researched the mesh's ability to not melt onto your skin when sliding on the ground? Thanks.
 
European Jackets

I recently saw a really nice British Jacket in Rder Magazine. Anyone know what brand it is(I threw the magazine away!!)

Thanks again!
