Cortech GX Air Series 2 Jacket!
The jacket is SUPER COMFORTABLE. I can safely say that in the rain, you WILL stay dry; the water runs off the jacket like a duck's back, especially with the waterproof lining attached. The jacket breathes very well and even on hot days I can feel the air coming through and keeping me mostly cooled down. The winter liner that comes with the jacket is nice too, very thick and comfortable. I'm sure it'll do PERFECT for keeping me warm in the cold weather. I've had the jacket for about a month now and so far, I am super in love with it. It looks great, it feels great, and it has all the protection in the correct places, with more leather padding in the most important places. This is definitely an IDEAL textile jacket to own. The arms include tighter snaps in the bicep area and the forearm to keep the CE armor held in place against your arms, and not sliding around in case it happened to be a little too loose. Nice addition, especially because when you remove a liner, the fit of the jacket changes. I've had no problems with it. BUY IT!

Good heavy duty jacket. A little too heavy w/ liner for west TX. Didn't fit right with liner. Good protect though.

Love it
I love this jacket. I've put on some of these jackets for fitting and other things and this one fits well. Like all the other jackets I've tried on the elbow pads don't fit exactly where I would want them, but it was the same for every other jacket I tried as well. The look is real nice and I love it but have a problem with wrinkles and not sure how to get them out since you can't iron or dry clean. Durability, it's held up so far. It's got a lot of stuff the best thing is having 2 liners included with it that are removable.
Cost benefit. Can’t really say, I think you get what you pay for and I think this is probably the best mesh jacket you can get for the summer with the most protection for a mesh jacket. It's humid here, so on the hottest days it's a little hot to wear but I only sweat at the stops. As long as I'm moving I'm okay.

Nice!!
This was my first jacket for my first bike and let me tell I am overall pleased with my selection. I have owned for about a month or two now. I owed it to myself and my mom (you guys know what I am talking about) to be protected yet I wanted to stay cool down here in South Georgia. I love the 2 pieces that can be removed (one rain and one wind guard) each of which works great. I have not had the jacket on terribly too hot of days yet but the few days I wore it with the liners out it breathed very well. With the liners in and a long sleeve shirt, I was plenty warm in the high 30 degree weather at night! I did have to return a small for a medium, the sizing chart is not very reliable. If I was a little bigger then a large would be needed for comfort. All in all I am very satisfied so far but I don’t have any other jackets to compare it to.

Cortech - GX Series 2 Jacket.
I use this jacket in a climate where temps range from 5 to 35 degrees celsius in the summer months. Without the liners, I've found this jacket very comfortable in hot conditions. I'm now riding in temps where I would be usually sweltering wearing textile or leather. On the downside, the collar is rather large and a loose fit. This only presents a problem in the cold when air penetrates the jacket liners via the collar. This jacket could be even better with full leather in the back of the arms and a bit more leather in the back. Overall a good summer jacket with a good level of protection for a mesh jacket.

Little abrasion protection.
This jacket is cool and comfortable in the summer.

awesome jacket year round
I love this mesh jacket. It has 2 liners that make it a yearlong jacket for me! Each liner has its own set of pockets so you have plenty of inside pockets. It’s a bit bigger than other jacket sizes.

Good value
This is a good jacket for warm/dry climates and summer riding. Leather in critical areas should offer good durability. The jacket is entirely double-stitched, so it should hold up nice. I have long arms, and wish the sleeves were a bit longer, but they are barely long enough. I haven't tested out the included liners (one for rain, a second for insulation - can use both together), so no comments on those. I've been comfortable in 90deg heat moving 20mph, with only a long-sleeve t-shirt underneath. I would recommend this jacket.

Happy
Got this jacket for its advertised versatility and so far, I am very happy with its performance! The temperatures here in Va have ranged from a sticky 95+ to a damp 46 and with the layered liners, it is doing the trick nicely. Lots of nice features with internal pockets on the Mesh Shell and the Quilted Liner. The leather at the shoulders and elbows is a nice touch, I get lots of comments on them. While, it was a little pricey for me, it was still worth the cost for the features and versatility.

Great jacket in the heat!
I absolutely love this jacket. I have been commuting to work here in Sicily where the afternoon temps are between 90 and 100 degrees, and I have been quite comfortable in this jacket. I have not tried the liners yet as it is too hot, but I am sure they will be great. I expected more reflective material than it has on it, but that is not a big complaint. I have also noticed that the velcro on the arms tends to pull up other patches of material on the front of the jacket if I let it touch. This makes it look fuzzy and worn. Other than that, a great jacket for the price!

Comfortable versatile jacket.
Excellent warm weather jacket. Great ventilation. Having the two liners makes this jacket a 3 season jacket. I like being able to add the windproof liner at the end of a warm day when things start to cool down a little. The thermal liner on top of this makes it a warm jacket for cooler weather but for cold weather (45 degrees F or lower) it doesn't match an all-leather jacket.

good for a mesh
The jacket looks good and less synthetic mesh with the leather shoulders and back. I like the versatility of the two liners. On cool days it can still get a little chilly with the quilted liner in and with the wind/rain liner out. On hot days there is nothing better. Some of the stitching looks a little raggedy with loose threads, and you must be careful not to tear the inside of the sleeves where the liners attach. The jacket is a little expensive probably because it's new and has the bit of leather. There are plenty other jackets that cost less that will do the same job, but won't have the looks IMO.
