Gear Review: AGVSport Airtech Hybrid Mesh Motorcycle Jacket

Summer may be on its last legs for most of the country, but if you live in a climate like mine you've got to deal with hot weather more often than not.

I spent the last few months ditching my Vanson leathers and wearing the AGVSport Airtech Hybrid Mesh jacket (often in combination with my Forcefield Pro Pants underneath a pair of jeans), and as this photograph illustrates, the jacket can be an awful lot like wearing next to nothing:

Though it's Suzuki-branded, my review of the armored AGVSport Airtech jacket reveals more about why I didn't mind wearing it with any brand of bike, plus a couple of reservations I had about lightweight jackets in general.
