Recomend a Mesh Jacket
 
My poor old Joe Rocket Mesh Jacket needs replacing.
I am lookinging for for something that comes in tall sizes, with some reasonable color choices

does it have to be mesh? How about perforated leather?

I've got a Fieldsheer Titanium Air that has worked good for me. I'm 6'4" and about 200 lbs, and it seems to fit me fine.

Anything with straps around the arms.....Otherwise the armor shifts around uselessly

I am in the same boat as the OP.
I am just keeping an eye on the clearance sections of the various websites for a decent brand / style.

My Fieldsheer is pretty nice.... thick and heavy for a mesh jacket and the armor stays in place... pretty good air flow...

however, I miss my PowerTrip jacket on some of the hotter days... it was REAL thin around the body - mesh like basketball shorts, but it had leather arms... thin, but worked. The first layer of mesh tore at the shoulder seam when I wrecked, but it protected pretty well... the armor did slide and I got burnt a bit on the 'bows through the leather, but I'd rock another one in a heartbeat.

I think I paid $75 for my Fieldsheer w/ pants... and like $50 for my PowerTrip. Closeouts for gear are the only way to go IMHO.

I wear seperate armor under my jackets. I wear my mesh all summer. Sucks when a cold rain storm hits. LoL

The Tour Master GX AIR and AIR II jackets are very nice IMO. CE armor, zip out liners (one water/wind proof and one insulated). I have the AIR II that I wear in summer and it is like not wearing a jacket when you're moving. The only place I feel heat is under the back pad until I get stopped at a light or something. They are also machine washable.

How much moolah you want to spend?

BMW mesh gear is high quality, comes in tall sizes and cost a pretty penny too.
