10 Best Mesh Motorcycle Jacket Review Guide

Sedici Alexi 2 Mesh Jacket

Hot weather riding can take its toll even the heartiest of motorcyclists. The Sedici Alexi 2 Jacket is designed to optimize cooling airflow without compromising protection so you can ride safely through the summer season and beyond thanks to its mesh shell, removable waterproof liner and removable thermal liner. The main structure of the jacket is made out of 600D dobby construction with strategically placed hard mesh inserts at the chest, back and inner arms. CE rated elbow and shoulder armor back an extra layer of 1200D reinforcement at these key impact areas. An optional CE rated back protector is not included, but it’s a breeze to install it into the rear armor pocket.

Accordion stretch panels at the shoulders and elbows let you reach for the handlebars without excessive binding. Neoprene along the collar and throat area help keep sensitive areas from chaffing. Fold down the collar for especially hot days to get added airflow. Oversized zipper pulls make it easy to open and close zippers even with motorcycle gloves on. The removable waterproof liner provides breathable protection against the elements. The removable thermal liner uses 100 grams of insulation on the body and 60 grams of insulation on the arms to help manage the extra bulk. The thermal liner attaches directly to the rain liner with a full circumference zipper to cut down on extra material.

The Sedici Alexi 2 Jacket is excellent for hot weather riding, but it can be stretched into cooler and wet conditions thanks to removable waterproof and thermal liners. Keep riding.
