Mesh Jackets
Mesh jackets move air through big ventilation panels so the ride stays bearable in KL heat, without giving up CE certified abrasion protection.
Heat is the number one reason a jacket stays in the wardrobe here, so mesh solves this problem. Large mesh panels across the chest, back and arms keep air moving even when you're sitting still in traffic, and every jacket still carries CE EN 17092 certification with armour at the shoulders and elbows.
Check the CE class before you buy, mesh construction does not automatically mean lower protection, the abrasion rating depends on the panel material and positioning, not just the ventilation. We recommend mesh for daily commuting and hot-weather touring, and pairing it with a removable rain liner if you ride through the monsoon.

Q: Is a mesh jacket as protective as a solid leather or textile one?
A: The CE class and the armour decide that, not the mesh construction. Check the EN 17092 class on the product page, the same way you would with any other jacket.
Q: When should I choose mesh over touring or textile?
A: For the daily commute and hot-weather riding where ventilation matters most. Pair it with a rain liner if you're caught in a monsoon downpour.
