Yep it's a good one
I've worn this jacket up to 95 degrees F here in North Cackalacka......that's about as hot as I can stand to wear a jacket and this one did fine. I think it helps that mine is the white one. Really makes a difference on the hottest days. The quality is topnotch and the fit is excellent. I've found if I just lean forward a bit on the bike I can get a jet of air down my back that lifts the jacket off me a little.....feels great. Haven't tried the liner in yet but it seems ok. The one thing I would recommend is to upgrade the armor just a bit, but this is usually the case at this price point and can be done by the consumer. This is a nice jacket and worth the money, no doubt.

Really keeps you cool
Bought this right before summer started. Greatest thing I've ever done! The fit is perfect, and comfortable. Moldable back, elbow, and shoulder protection makes this a lightweight, easy jacket. The inner liner is very helpful on cooler days. If you don't take it off it'll be like wearing a garbage bag. I love this jacket! Easy to put on, and bring around, and of course, it serves it's purpose!

Scorpion Cool Rod Mesh Jacket
I ordered it for my 18 year old son and he loves the jacket. It gave him everything he was looking for, for a great price.

Cool Rod Mesh Jacket
Seems to be a good jacket for the price. Works good on warm days but for cool weather you will need a heavy lay under the jacket. The jacket was delivered right on time and fit good.

Scorpion - Cool Rod Mesh Jacket
I just love Scorpion products. The Cool Rod Mesh Jacket is the third Scorpion Jacket I have purchased. All three jackets are awesome. The quality that goes into them is exceptional. You will not be disappointed with any Scorpion Jacket you purchase. Worth every penny.

Good warm weather jacket
Without the liner, the jacket breathes very well. NOT like having no jacket at all, but very well. However, the liner does NOT breathe at all. It's windproof, but after a couple of minutes it gets clammy from sweat. Otherwise, it's my main warm weather jacket.

Scorpion Mesh Jacket
This jacket is well worth the money and is unlike most riders on the road. Don't buy the same thing everyone else has. Trust me, this jacket is much nicer than those other brands.

Good, but not as comfortable as I'd like
Good jacket, very sturdy. But it feels a little rough on the inside, when it’s really hot out, that feeling is amplified.

Good Effort
Just wore my first summer mesh jacket, The Scorpion Cool Rod. Being new to his area of summer protection (I have only wore t-shirts and blue jean jackets before) please take with a grain of salt my review. I took my motorcycle and Cool Rod Jacket out yesterday in 81 to 94 degree weather in Las Vegas, NV. From morning to afternoon the jacket felt light and "cool". The only warm spots were in the sleeves. From wrist to elbow from the start I felt warm and started to sweat in that area a little. The perforated CE armor is soft and fully covers the right areas. I don't know how effective it is though; not experienced enough in motorcycle armor. This jacket looks good but in my opinion needs better or more reflective materials. The Night viz is just OK.
I received an inner liner too for windy/cooler days. Good first effort though. A fair price for what you get. If jacket is on sale even better.

Scorpion Jacket
The jacket really breathes well. It has been in the 90's here and I am not hot at all. I rated the features at 4 as I would like to see a different cuff closure, like a zipper, but that is just me. For the price it is a good deal. Well made.e.

one hell of a jacket
This is a superb textile jacket. Scorpion did a top notch job on the cool rod. Fits like a glove, and if it doesn’t feel quite right you can use the snaps to make it fit even better. Breathes like a mother and the liner keeps you warmer if you put it in and if not it feels like you’re not even wearing a jacket, the ce rated armor is VENTED meaning even more breathe ability. I make all my friends try on my jacket just to feel the comfort and now 3 of them bought one too. If I could I would give this a 10 out of 5 because it is perfect.
