The Tourmaster Flex 3 and Firstgear Mesh Tex are pretty much what I'm looking for but I've had water "resistant" stuff in the past and in my experience it does great in short or light rains, but in long or heavy rains some of this stuff gets water soaked almost as bad as a cotton jacket.
I love the Olympia line... but their light colored jackets are just ugly IMO (no offense ). If I thought a black jacket would work for me I'd already have the Airglide.
The Joe Rocket Alter Ego is very interesting... but the majority of my riding would be in the mesh under-jacket and I'm just not comfortable in a jacket that has no collar.
Thanks Scot! I really appreciate the suggestions; I'm a picky bastard I guess
I'm really looking to get away from unprotected riding so I'll keep looking.
I found the Sedici brand at Cycle Gear good stuff. I have the Arturo jacket and flows pretty good air and I can attest to the waterproof liner. Military and retiree get 10% off and the stuff is guaranteed for life.
I went down to Cyclegear and test fit that Sedici. It's a handsome jacket with the features I want... but the fit is restrictive IMO and the styling is still too "motorcycle-ish".
