Harlin67 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Hello all. I'm after a 'cheap' (sub £50) Summer jacket. I have Armour with my current jacket so just looking for something lightweight and breezy, with fairly decent protection for my commute to work. Maybe I'm asking for the impossible with this budget, but after my CBT in March, I went out and bought a load of winter kit, so now I'm bloody roasting Not sure if I can link (think I can!) but something like "Gearx Aircon Summer Motorcycle Jacket Waterproof CE Protection All sizes" for around £50 seems a good deal, but is it to good to be true? Any ideas would be most welcome! Edited June 29, 2015 by Harlin67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Every time I put on a light jacket, I get soaked or cold,,,i use a bomber stye , coz its waterproof, little in the way of armour tho,, Edited June 29, 2015 by blackhat250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 That looks a fine piece of kit, as long as your not doing 100mph up the high street it will do all that you need and keep you cool(ish), sometimes a £50 jacket is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlin67 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I have a YBR, 100mph isn't likely /chuckle Thanks think I'll take gamble on it and post some feedback if it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkk Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Personally I normally wear my 2 piece Berik "power ranger" suite, but have waterproof out layers I can jump into. As the leathers are "breathable" then you dont often cook yourself. But for around the £50 mark I would be looking at a lightweigh Cordura jacket (Swift) and possibly some armoured jeans to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlin67 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks for the replies, probably opting for the GearX one, as its the only vented/removable liner around that price. Just holding off as Amazon want to charge me £7 for delivery, and I can expect it 'around' July 7th if I went through them, so looking elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
