Yeah, I just got one of these the other day. MUCH cooler than my other textile+leather jacket. That one was getting pretty toasty on the really sunny days. The mesh lets LOTS of air flow thru.

The Teknic does have all that large lettering and design stuff on the back, that I would rather not have.. but the other parts of the design are fine with me and the white accents I thought would help with visibilty. Maybe I can remove that larger lettering/advertising somehow.....

Hope it works for you too. Ride safe....


PS... I wasn't a part of MV when you "stepped away" for a while.....but if things are better for you now, then that's great. Glad to hear it.

So far I haven't see too many prpblems w/ the Corazzo Shop Jacket. It was 90+ yesterday while riding and I wasn't too uncomfortable. Sure a little warm when at stop lights but as someone else pointed out you can get that in mesh. Once moving it's comfortable. Nice big reflective stripe in the back for nighttime visibility. I'm another happy Corazzo customer.

My only issue is w/ the collar, I sometimes get slapped in the neck at high speeds. I'm going to have my wife sew in some snaps under the collar and we should be good.

Another Teknic Supervent owner here. It's a nice jacket that unfortunately I paid full $$ for at the dealers when I got my scoot (n00b!)

It's great now in the 90 degree temps, but I definitely want to get a Corazzo 5.0. for the fall riding. The nearest retailer to me is down in Richmond, and just by good chance I am down there in a couple of weeks for a college visit to my son to VCU, so I think I might stop by for a quick visit (without my wife)!
