HAHA T Biker,

To answer the question you will be making a trade off no matter what you do leather is most protective but it is hot so, my recommendation first would be to get a nice light summer textile jacket

Like This (Scorpion Drafter - I have the really old version of this and love it)

for what your looking for specifically I would recommend this.

TMS Armor Mesh (Fox Titan knock off EveRide and stunters love it)

It's 33-38 degrees here all week with the same humidity as the UK.

Man up!

I've got a macna mesh jacket and held mesh trousers, great most days, but in 28C, you need to be above 50mph or you just have warm air moving through.

wasnt there some article floating around that said more skin coverage actually kept you cooler?

I actually have a medical condition that makes me run way hot! I have an icon anthem hiviz mesh jacket that flows a ton of air and I just received a pair of cycle gears bilt sport mesh pants ($69 on sale right now) for my birthday. I was riding the other day at 92 degrees with 87% humidity and was a little warm when I stopped but once going it felt amazing! I have a set of gel/mesh gloves too that did fabulous!

Being from the tropic area, it's not wise to ride bareback (I know that sounded bad) in the hot sun, you might think you will not feel hot without a jacket, but you will actually feel hotter (and maybe roasted) without the jacket.

Go wtih something light like a mesh jacket which allows air flow but keep your birthday suit away from direct sun light.

I just got a Icon Contra mesh jacket and it lets a lot of air flow. I'm very happy with it and it's getting 95°F/35°C around here. 80% humidity lately too.

I just went the vest route. I've got a perforated leather vest that let's tons of air in and still offers some abrasion and puncture protection.
