mesh jacket

Hi

I'm after a jacket to wear over my leathers but it needs to be a mesh type of material to allow plenty of airflow and ideally a bright high vis kind of colour.

Any ideas?

Edit; just found this as an option http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fluoresce...=UK_Cycling_Clothing&var=&hash=item4ac36457c9

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why do you want a jacket over your leathers?

Had a couple of close calls when out due to car drivers not spotting me so thought a high vis mesh jacket may help.

Mesh jackets are a high air flow but fully protective jacket, sounds like you are looking for a basic high vis vest? In which case, cheap basic ones seem to be the best in terms of meshiness - more expensive ones tend to be more 'full'

You want something like this: http://www.hivis.net/534/High-Visibility/High-Visibility-Mesh-Vest/ it's quite a large mesh but doesn't restrict your arms.

I don't think I explained it well! Yes I want a high vis but I wanted a mesh material to get as much airflow through it as possible as it can get warm in leathers!

The one I linked was mesh, might be worth having a look at these then, all depends how much high vis you want: http://www.tinwolf.co.uk/
