I hate responding to my own threads but I know this has to be common question for Florida riders...

I think I've decided on the Teknic Supervent Jacket. The Supervent seems to one of the few mesh jackets that have full CE armor all around. The styling isn't flashy and the build quality seems to very good.

I found the older style on http://www.newenough.com/teknic_supe...acket_page.htm closeout for $69.00 but they only have black/black in my size and I wanted more visibility and a cooler color. I found the new 2005 styles on http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/521-TEK-12 for $139.00. I couldn't find any deals on the 2005 styles.

I'm also looking for quality $100-$200 closed face helmet also well suited for hot weather riding. I own a nice HJC MX helmet and I was going to purchase a HJC-CL14-SMOKE but I noticed these helmets really lack good air flow compared to the Scorpion helmets when I looked at a local shop. Does anyone have any experience with Scorpion helmets? Should I just go w/ a HJC-CL14?
