A classically cut motorcycle jacket in textile, with lots of breathability and little ballast, that's this EVO Air motorcycle jacket from IXS. It doesn't consist of much, and in this case that's a very positive thing.
That's because that's the starting point of a summer mesh jacket: create as few obstacles as possible to be safe and comfortable on the road. The EVO Air jacket succeeds in doing just that. The choice between 'we get on without a jacket' and ‘let’s ride safely' is no longer a choice.
Large mesh panels on the front, upper arms and back provide optimal ventilation. Add to that the breathable mesh lining and you get a feather-light jacket with sufficient wear- and tear-resistance, without all the rest. ‘The rest' consists of membranes (no, not waterproof), thermal linings (summer jacket!) or ventilation systems (the jacket is one big ventilation opening).
Two zippered front pockets and three interior pockets offer more than enough room to carry what you need. You are free to wear as many layers as you’d like underneath the EVO Air jacket because with adjustment options at the upper arm, forearm (press studs) and hips (velcro) there is room to play. The sleeve ends with velcro let you choose: motorcycle gloves above or underneath the jacket.
The EVO Air jacket is a 'classic' and you can tell by the short cut. A logical choice, fitting into the 'as little as possible’ idea, it extends to the waistband of your jeans.
