Both of my bikes have full fairings, so there is little air flow over the driver; the passenger gets plenty of air, as there is little protection for them, from the fairings...  With no air flow, the only cool jacket, is no jacket, or possibly a mesh -- haven't tried one of these yet.

I see riders wearing little clothing, and no protection, except maybe a helmet, nearly every day.  I shudder.  Road rash is brutal.  They will, literally, use a wire bristled brush, to scrub gravel out of your flesh, in the E/R.  We have the freedom to decide for ourselves, what protective gear we want to wear.  Choose well.  Live to ride, ride to live.  Cheers!
