Well better late than never I know this might not matter to the great white north but in Texas it's still 100 +. I finally found a useable summer jacket. It's a Joe Rocket Phoenix. It's made of some weird woven stuff that doesn't stretch (has holes in it)and has 2 layers of pads. The inside layer of pads are removeable and the outside ones are sewn on.The pads overlap each other so it has good coverage. The jacket is "rice-rocket" styling. I've been riding for a week in it in 100 + weather and it is comfortable. A Star Trek badge should make it look just right. Price $139.99 cheaper than skin. http://www.joerocket.com

I use them Bob. i like them and have gone through several sets. they work real well on various dirt surfaces. I may switch to Kendas soon though. I believe the Maxxix pavement traction is superior to that of the Kenda.
